I was born a drummer. In 5th grade I built a drum set out of misc. items, (pots, pans, buckets, whatever) and taught myself the drum riff to stairway to heaven. In seventh grade i got a summer job, saved up 300$ and bought a used set. i still remember taking it home, setting it up, and putting my headphones on with stairway turned up to 11;). What a rush. I played drums all thru school and in the Airforce drum and bugle core.
I started playing bass when i was 13 for the school talent show. That eventually led me to the guitar, banjo, and mandolin.
There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.
