musing on my music..

uummm surprising, I was asked by a friend of mine to play drums for his song. well this aint a bad offer, for i dont count myself to be that good either; i'm justta modest player to be honest. I dont have the technical talent neither do i have a whole lotta skills, cuz i started playing after a long time, i had almost quit on playing drums, i thought that i would never play again in my whole life until like few months ago when me n my friends started a band. well actually i don't have enough time to practice my skills because of my studies. well i think i can be way much better than this if had sufficient time to practice.

Well then how did this all start, good question...hehehe....well as far as my memory carries me,it started a long way back when i was justa kid. Then i didn't know what music was, all i knew back then was it made good sound, i just liked it, memories are vague but i think i got my first guitar when i was around 3-4 yrs old. well guitar was justta another toy then. didn't really make sense to me, until the time i hit puberty. Well music really hit me hard when i was 'bout 10-11yrs old, it hit me like big yellow school bus,it was my first love. I went head over heals for it.But it wasnt until later that i started playing instruments.I mustta have been around 14 yrs old,when i was introduced to a instrument called drums. One of my cousin brother had got it from his friend and he invited me over to see it. This was so new to me, I actually had something to brag about to my friends that i had played the drums,then i didn't know a shit about drumming,really didn't know a shit.I used to sit on it and hit it like a maniac.I accidentally told one of my friends that i knew how to play drums and without my knowledge the words flew around the school that i can play drums...damn...its not like there weren't any one that couldn't play.Senior boys could, I was justta a freshman in high-school.So one of my friends came up to me once n told me play with his band we were pretty young then even to be in a band, for some weird reason i said yes,knowing that i really couldn't play drums.So i had to go to this seniors drums to practice with my band.So i did but spare me the embarrassment i really couldn't play a single fucking beat.I knew nothing seriously.The senior ( who is now a renowned drummer n a percussionist) laughed at me n said few mean stuff to me.I couldn't take it.So i just walked out of the auditorium.That evening i again went to my brothers place n asked his friend to teach me how to play drums.All he taught me that evening was one basic beat,I got so caught up into it that i mastered that beat in few days.Then i didn't have a real drums, so i made up my own drums from biscuit containers and mastered most of the basic beats by myself from it, where ever things made sound i would hit it n try to produce a beat.I had guitars then which I had bought it when i had gone to Hong Kong but then i didn't feel like playing it so much, drums was the instrument.Later my dad got so fed up of me hitting every other thing in the house that he promised me to buy me a drum set if i passed my exams,so I did it n then as promised i got my drum kit. My first ever real drums kit.After that in the next term I showed that i could play drums n that also well. Then the rest is like a history to me.Kept on playing in my schools band,then played where ever i got offers to play.Once ended up in a underground metal band,we were getting somewhere when the members had to go their separate ways to pursue their higher education.Then after that i got pretty busy as well with my studies n work,then i really didn't play drums, didn't have time to think about it until i came to Malaysia to study,after almost staying here for 2yrs now i have a band where i play the drums again. So now i'll juss have to wait and see where my musical journey takes me. IS IT JUSTTA COMMA OR A FULL STOP???....that i'll have to wait and see.... ROCK ON!!!!
