Learning Percussion At 8

Remembering the first time I played drums 

The coordination was a lot to learn 

Learning new ways to use fingers and thumbs

Looking deep inside, that was where I’d turn 

Tapping on my desk like a singer hums

To become the next Buddy Rich, I’d yearn

Never learning a drum roll, I would fear 

Mastering this technique took me a year…

  1. We could have formed a band, I am a piano player who no long has a piano but I do miss playing just for enjoyment and have been thinking of getting myself a keyboard. Just to play some tunes and keep my finger nimble when I am not pounding on the keyboard.
