A drummer reflects on 32 years behind the kit, starting at age eight after watching his father air drum to rock and roll. He wishes he'd progressed further, mixing nostalgia with frustration about where his skills landed.
Man. When I. When I talk about how long I've been playing, I should probably be better at my instrument than I am. We all feel. That's how I feel. We all feel the same way. I've been drumming for 32 years. No. Yeah. I started when I was 8, and, you know, it was kind of a combination. My. My dad loved rock and roll. He kind of was, like, multifaceted. Played guitar, bass, drums, could sing. I did not get any of his singing ability at all, unfortunately. And so one of the things that got me into it, listening to music, was just being able to be in the car with him and watching him kind of air drum, you know, on the steering wheel.
