Why Ðrums?
And why not?
In the early stages, I practiced playing the drums on my schoolbooks.
I bought my first guitar before I bought my own drum set, and primarily chose the drums instead.
Why?
I'd say - Passion.
You can play drums too!
How and why now?
Playing the drums helps me to focus on the present moment and reduce stress. While jamming I can exist in a state of well being, while expressing myself with an overall peace of mind.
Not to mention the added benefits of forming new neural connections that contribute to higher learning and other positive cognitive functions.
Check out this video I found and try it for yourself.
But what's next?
For some, playing drums can be difficult..
But at a certain point, you'll get it - and then it's like hmmm.. I wanna know more.
And when you get better at playing drums, you'll start to see a whole new world that opens up before you.
Pretty soon you'll be looking for others to jam with and play covers, or write your own songs.
Next thing you know you've got yourself in a band playing live-shows like the rest of us.
Getting to that point comes in many ways, and my wish is for everyone to find something that they can love - like I have..
