I'm 43 and five months ago I started learning the drums. Damn man, I wish I would've started earlier. It's never to late tho. Sorry about the pup. I lost mine a long time ago and someday I'll get a couple more once I move.
Thank you for the kind reply, just remember to practice your a off and you'll get something out of it guaranteed. Watch that Spaniard I forgot his name, he'll inspire the hell out of you especially when he talks about the virtue of those 8-hour days of practice. It is truly a miracle what you can do if you give it those long hours and anybody can do it just like he said.
I'm so sorry your dog passenger. I'm in a similar situation as you. I turn 65 this year, but still stuck in a depressing low pay job. I have to wait at max 22 months to get full retirement. I doubt I will wait and just take partial.. My cat of 17 years passed awhile back, the last family I had left. He stuck with me thru crazy ex girlfriends looking fo find themselves, COVID, and the insanity of the last few years. The good for me is that I am a drummer. I played for a short time in my teens. I gave it up and wished everyday afterwards I hadn't. Family, responsibilities, lack of time, money, and lack of energy all stopped me from buying a new set. A little while ago, after COVID I said that is it. I gotta play again if only for myself. Now I can't wait to have the time tp9 dedicate to play and go maniac on the set like I should. None of the piecemeal crap. Your playing 4 or 5 forty minute sets a day, did I hear you right ? Man, that is amazing. I hope you get out of your gloom and find some joy in playing. I remember after I bought my first set in 48 plus years. I put it together and did an ear tune. I smacked one of the rack toms. Dude the sound brought tears to my eyes. I was transported back to my teens to my friend's garage band playing in his dad's actual garage. My fellow band mates have either passed or fell0 off the radar so far it's as if they did. No matter what, I am still here for whatever time I got. I plan on making some noise saying so with a pretty mean practice schedule. I doubt in my wildest dreams I could match your schedule. God bless you brother. As Pete Townsend said... there once was a note, listen... All the best.
Wow I really appreciate the comprehensive message my friend. Everything you said I think is going to happen bring Joy back to you. That's what I do I remember when I first started playing we were air drumming along with friends and of course I was air guitar air keyboard, you name it. Do yourself a favor though and try to practice as long as you can. Cuz like that Spaniard said, them long practices will really make miracles happen no matter how old you are I believe. I don't know what's going to happen either with the future as far as making money doing this kind of thing, but like Dolly Parton said, all you got to do is believe in yourself, and don't be around people you can't trust be blessed my brother let me know if you get a UA-cam channel going off follow it I'll subscribe to it I'd love to see your story
