In this short, the speaker recounts a lifelong passion for drumming that began in early childhood within a musically‑inclined family. As a toddler he would sit inside his uncle’s bass drum while the family band performed at home. By age four he was already setting up his uncle’s drum kit in the basement, driven by an instinctive need to play, despite not yet understanding how. Later he also picked up a guitar, but his obsession with drums remained the core of his musical identity. The monologue conveys a nostalgic, enthusiastic reflection on how drumming has been an integral part of his life from birth.
