Something i would like to learn





Since I was very young, about 5 or 6 years old, I have been deeply interested in music. I could sit down for hours just to listen to Los Jaivas, a Chilean band that I loved. I´ve learnt to play electric guitar at the age of eleven, then bass and now piano, but I have always wanted to learn to play drums, I’ve been fascinated by drums since the first time I listened to Los Jaivas, but I have not had the opportunity to learn because of different reasons, first of all, they are way too expensive. Keeping the drum kit under good care is expensive, replacing parts and stuff like that, plus, every time you need another tom or plate it costs a fortune. The other reason is the noise, my neighbors already hate me for playing guitar too loud, so if I had a drum kit I would be kicked out of where I live hahaha. The difficult part of playing drums is that you have to develop the ability to split your brain into many fragments and each of those fragments has to think for its own, because you need to lead a different rhythm with each one of your limbs. Keeping up with the tempo is the fundamental thing to do when you play drums, that’s a bit difficult for me since I never practice with a metronome when I play guitar, my bad there haha. A drummer is like the heartbeat of any music band, so it´s not an easy task to play drums, it requires lots and lots of practice and patience. My drumming influences are quite diverse since I listen to a lot of different music genres, from prog rock and jazz fusion to extreme forms of metal. I couldn’t say who is my favorite drummer but here are some of the ones I like the most.
