Sa mga matagal na napahinga sa drums thread

[kibohead]

ako i started young like some of you...hanggang 20yo nagdrums ako...pero nung nag asawa ako ng 21...hanggang 26, nakalimutan ko na. I thought di na ako babalik talaga, eventually, when i was taking up nursing, yung isang prof ko, nabalitaan na nagdrums daw ako dati, so he offered me to play in exchange for a flat 1 grade. hahaha! ayun, mula noon, bumalik ako sa drums, kalawang talaga...pero habang tumatagal nasasanay ulit at eventually, nalalampasan mo din, ksi ngayon mas alam mo na yung gusto mong tunog. Siguro nga ito na yung tinatawag na passion.

Tingin ko di lang ako dito yung mga natigil.

tapos naalala ko pa yung bibili ulit ako ng gears ko, di ko na alam ano yung mga bago, kaya nagpapasalamat din talaga ako na may pinoydrums. cheesy!!! hahaha! pero masaya, kasi you gain new gear, new friends and new knowledge. kaya dapat respetuhan lang dito. wala ng satsat na kung ano ano.

Pinakamahirap pa sa natigil yung nerves sa unang gig ulit. yung adrenaline kung pano mo ma cocontrol, kasi sa praktis, di mo naman yan na eensayo. yun ang nakakabaliw sa lahat, pero after naman nun, little by little, nadadagdagan yung confidence. ngayon, i can say i'm back and maybe even better, thanks to my band, drumming brothers and to my family who supports the thing i truly love...and that is making noise almost 24/7 of drumming. hehe.

Aga mo pala nag asawa bro hehe.

Ako naman drummer since elementary pa ko marching band drummer ako nun. Then HS first time ko naka-hawak ng drumkit. After ng HS I never had the opportunity to practice na kasi super busy ako nung nasa college so nawalan na talaga ako ng practice. After 11 years, kaka-graduate ko lang ng 2nd degree ko which is Nursing din hehe, saka lang ako nagkaron ng opportunity to buy my own kit. So yun! Nagkaron nga ako ng kit pero 11 years na walang practice sa actual kit so parang back to zero ako... kahet mga simpleng beats minsan nawawala pa ko sa timing...

But it's ok I've improved myself for the whole 6 months na nasa possession ko yung kit. Then all of a sudden I decided to sell it since bigla ako nag-sawa at para na din sa savings ng family ko and their mini-home theater hehe.

So yun! Wala na ako kit so back to zero na ulit ako hahaha! Promise ko sa sarili ko kapag nasa states na ako with my family at established na kami then saka ako bibili ulit ng kit, hopefully I'll be able to procure and build my dream kit. But maybe I'll use it for leisure na lang since hindi ko naman pinangarap na sumikat mag drums. I just want to play drums to express my feelings and natural talent.

mga colleagues ko pala kayong dalawa!

Ako naman I started playing drums when I was 13 years old till when I was 22 yrs. old. I also got married at a young age, and naiba na ang priority ko sa buhay. I left my band nung pupunta na sila ng malaysia since my daughter was still a month old and hindi ko kaya mag enjoy ng ganung klaseng setup. I sold everything re: sa drums, and feeling ko that drumming was over for me.

After 6 years of hiatus, nagkaroon na ulit ako ng gana mag drums after seeing my daughter na interested sa pag drums. Ayun, bought my kit a month ago, and uber outdated nako. Ang dami nang bagong pagpipilian and  ang dali na bumili ng gamit for us drummers ngayon as compared nung 90's, even the quality of "cheapo" kits before eh maganda na ngayon. hehehehe 

Ayun, start from scratch ako ngayon as in, pati sa pag tono ng kit ang tagal.hahaha pero sabi nga ni bro jack, parang bike yan... pag natuto ka eh hindi na mawawala yan. So bali ngayon, i really do quality practice while enjoying it. Just a month of practicing at least may improvement nako in my playing especially with my left hand. Just need to improve my right knee (had an MCL injury din last month kasi) sumasakit pa rin kasi pag matagalan na practice. 

Good thing this forum is very helpful to us drummers! Daming pwedeng matutunan, makilala and mapapag gastusan. 

keep on drumming guys!

I first played drums when I was 10. Natuto lang ako ng pinakabasic na beat. Tapos I decided to play the guitar for 1yr. Di ako nagimprove so nagbass na lang ako. 2yrs din yun. Empre di rin gumaling. So bumalik ako sa drums when I was 16yrs old. I played for less than a yr then tigil nanaman. So pasundot sundot lang ako sa pag dudrums. last yr ako nagdecide na itulot-tuloy na pag ddrums pati naisip ko na sayang yung panahon na sinayang ko at sana medyo matino nako pumalo.  Kaso di rin nagtagal. Medyo naengganyo kasi ako sa photography, so tigil nanaman sa pagpalo. Kakabalik ko lang ulit 3weeks ago at sana magtuloy tuloy na

rehas tyo ate ko nurse minsan nag ninight shift mas lalo yung mga kapitbahay demanding di makadrums

[drumachine]

ako din. i started drumming when i was 10 y/o. ang alam ko lang nun yung mga basics. but i have no kit. hinihiram ko lang yun sa uncle ko.(guitarist naman sya) 1998, dumating yung time na naging hit sa pagbabanda yung uncle and kailangan nila gamitin yung drums for rehearsals. i think mga 2002 na ulit bago ko nakahiram ulit ng kit sa kapatid na kaklase nung HS. sa kasamaang palad, binawi niya yung kit kasi kailangan niya ng pera. bibilin ko sna but my parents didn't agree. 3months din nagstay sakin yung drums. then at 2004 dun lang ako nakabili ng sariling kit na gamit ko hanggang ngayon. pero parang i need to li-lo ulit sa pagddrums because graduating sa ako this sem as a nurse din.  pero i will try as much as i can na hindi tumigil sa pagtambol kasi buhay ko na to. eto yung talagang nagpapasaya sakin bukod sa GF ko at family.*cheesy* hehe.

[unnailed]

hirap maging drummer noh, pero masarap...

[wilpredo]

nag-start ako mag-drums nung 1st year highschool ako 1996 ata yun, then nag stop ako after graduating (2000) kasi di ako suportado ng girlfriend and parents ko that time. nung late 2003, tinawagan ako ng bassist ko nung highschool tapos tinanong ako kung nagddrums pa ako kasi nagbubuo daw sya ng band. unang salang ko drums parang di ako marunong, mabigat yung kamay ko tapos yung paa ko sobrang bilis mangawit pati ang likod ko sumasakit, i started from scratch again. that time di parin ako suportado ng parents ko, nagagalit sila pag nalalaman na tumutugtog ako. this year lang nila naintindihan na drumming talaga ang gusto gawin at dito ako kumikita ng pambuhay ko sa sarili haha  this year lang din ako nagdecide na bumili ng mga gamit sa tugtog kasi di ko na kailangan itago sa parents ko pag lalabas ako at may gig. drumset na lang ang kulang hehe

i can say na malaki talaga ang improvement ng palo ko compared nung highschool, mas naging focused kasi ako ngayon, mga tulong ng research about drumming techniques and proper playing. masaya ako na bumalik ako sa pagddrums kasi ang boring siguro ng buhay ko ngayon kung tuluyang nakalimutan ko na ang pag palo hehe dumami din friends ko dahil sa drums 

[paeng16]

It's like riding a bike.. kahit ilang taon kanang hindi nakasakay.. You never forget!! hehehe... Medyo rusty nga lang hehehe..

Pero as what Kibohead said to me before... Kung gusto mo.. kahit ano gagawin mo talaga eh... Kaya nga kahit may asawa na ako eh nangungulit padin ako ng mga FRONTDESK CLERKS namin eh!!   (great advice, sana it will end up great din! amp!! )..  

[NiardicA]

in my case....


started 1992.... hit mainstream upto 1998.... stopped 10 years... re-booted in band mode last year (2008)....


for me it's like riding a bicycle... never forget, when the juices flow, adrenalin kicks in, though back then I have my drum solo routine that I kinda forgot my pattern... right now Im getting the hang of it again...

I started drumming when is was 10 years old, i took drum lessons in salonga (sm cebu, coz my mom was working there back in the day), but i wasnt able to learn that much kasi due to school and other stuffs. I had my first drumset when i was 11 years old which was a xmas gift from my dad, century ata ung brand with generic hats and cymbals. Anyway, my relationship with drums is On/Off, when i was 13 years old i had to stop because i was really into football and was part of my school's football varsity team (1st pahinga yan), but my dad and i disposed my century set and got a pearl export (didnt know why during that time, but i just felt i had to buy the set)..and then when i was 16 years old i went to culinary school which really shut off my drumming..focused ako sa course and career ko that i had to stop for 5 years straight with no practice whatsoever...ayun recently i went back playing drums after a very long break...bale total of 8 years na pahinga...rusty na tlaga but practice and passion ang katapat..its also only now that i had the chance to upgrade some components of my set...thank God...

Very inspiring naman ng thread na ito...

I started drumming way back 1993, i was 14 yrs old then. I was able to perform metallica, megadeth, pantera and sepultura covers back then. Kept on drumming until i met these wacky beer friends of mine during my sophomore years in UP Diliman that we suddenly decided to form a band and with some strange twist of fate guess what, i suddenly became their lead guitarist! Our "sick" band went on to corrupt school fairs, bars and events until 2001 where we all parted ways...thought that was the end of my musical career that i decided to cut my hair short and got a "real" job. That was until 2003 when i was asked by my  co-employees to play drums and jam with the performers during one of our parties. One of the musicians contacted me the next day if i would like play on his other band, a metal band, as their drummer. I agreed and of course as expected... NAGKALAT TALAGA AKO NUNG FIRST GIG NAMIN! Pero to cut the story short, they are still my bandmates to date and i for myself can say that i have very much improved since that first gig with them...
