So did I, and I didn’t even know I could play until years later when I sat in front of a friend’s kit for a lesson with them. They basically talked me through the setup, gave me a song to play, and I just played the opening without much fuss. They basically told me I could already play and I just needed time on the kit, left the room and let me go ham.

Aw, that’s cute, a drummer thinks he’sa musician too? (I kid, that’s a running joke in music circles, percussionists are definitely musicians, we’d be lost without them). That’s awesome! I suppose expert drumming in Rock Band would be a lot like the real thing. A program like rock band would probably work as a great drum trainer on a real set.

Lmao I was the bassist in our jam sessions, but I also play trumpet so that did spice things up a bit.
