Playing Drums

When I was in the fifth grade, I had the opportunity to play drums in the school band and I caught on really quick.  When I was a sophomore in high school, I ended up taking a percussion class and even marching in the Spokane Lilac Parade. 

Then just after I graduated high school, I decided to join my church's worship team and play the drums just like my dad had done for over 15 years.  I was on my church's worship team for over 11 years before I was called to change churches.  I had so much fun playing the drums.  There were even times when I got frustrated, but I kept on playing and the joy of playing came back.

The reason that I love playing drums the most is that I get to hit something.  It is very relaxing whenever I played drums.  I can't sing on key at all so getting to hit something unto the Lord was right up my sleeve.  I also love playing the drums because it means that I am making music and I already told you in an earlier blog post tonight just how much I love music, so there it is.  I was self taught on the drums.  I never got a true formal listen.  Even today I practice here and there.

Ever since changing churches, I haven't gotten onto the worship team there yet, but maybe one day.  I look forward to the day I get to play in a worship band again.

So what instruments do you play, if any?  If you don't play one have you ever thought about picking up one?  It is a lot of fun.  Don't just take my word for it, go into a music store and pick something up.  You may actually like it.
