If you don’t become a good drummer don’t think it gets easy from there,
Don’t give up, practice always practice every day every hour every month every year,
Don’t give up on something deep down you love because drumming is not just an instrument
It is a non-existent person it wants you to be happy
Sitting behind the drum is like a shell
The instrument feels like it protects me from other thing
And I can be myself on the drums
It’s there for passion, for anger, for relaxation, for building confidence
On the drums also to bond and connect with the drums like it’s your best friend
Treat it with respect and it will get better
Practise, practise, practise and practise
Giving up tells the drums that you do not want to play them anymore, that upsets the drums
As I said, think that it’s just like us, instruments are our way of peace
Our WAY OF ENJOYING LIFE
OUR WAY OF LOVING SOMETHING WE DO
BUT GIVING UP IS LIKE YOU BROKE UP WITH A PERSON BUT THAT PERSON IS THE DRUMS
DRUMS ARE EVRYTHING TO ME AND GIVING UP NOW IS A WASTE OF LIVING
WHAT’S THE POINT WITHOUT YOUR FRIEND
YOUR INSTRUMENT
YOUR PEACE
YOUR ENJOYMENT
YOUR LOVE
YOUR PASSION
AND TO GIVE IT YOUR ALL AND PRACTICE AND YOU WILL GET SOME WHERE IN LIFE.
