I'm glad you said that, bro crouchdash.  Because I got concerned about the age thing.  I just asked the Admins a few minutes ago if there are any age restrictions in Philmusic.com.  Anyway, I'll take note of the fact that KENDAN is under supervision whenever he's online.  Thanks! 

That's cool.  A kid enthusiastic with drumming and music.

[crouchdash]

Thanks sir drumster. . .He is kindda enthusiastic and like a sponge. He would sit close to our drummer in practice and in actual play at church really observant and keen on details. oops OT na yata. Thanks for the support guys.

Additional info about myself: takot ako sa dobol peds 

Bakit ka nman po takot sa double pedal?

[angrybrain]

Additional info about myself: takot ako sa dobol peds 

Bakit ka nman po takot sa double pedal?

di naman takot talaga, naooverwhelm lang ako sa paggamit nun. kapag nag-e-airdrumming ako, nagagawa ko pero kapag nandyan na ako sa set na may dbl pedal, di ko na magawa. at medyo nasanay na yung left foot ko sa mga groove sa hihat.

di pa ako nakakagamit ng mga branded na dobolpeds kaya pwedeng yun ang reason. medyo nasasanay na rin kse ako magsimulate ng dobolpeds sa single peds e. yung mababagal lang ha, ala-glassjaw.
