Instruments: Drums

My musical experience dates back to 1997 when I first had the opportunity to start playing the snare drum in my middle school band program. It was a great way for me to feel better about my school day and highlighted the common interests I had with my classmates.

I would discuss the importance of musicality and explore the different ways to portray music. Drummers are also musicians. Read More
