I have always played drums. Started young on pots and pans and got my first kit for my BDay when I was 5. Was in concert and marching band in highschool and played for a couple of garage bands in HS and college. I have a set downstairs now but only get to play a couple times a year.
On a side note. I think playing drums has contributed to more hearing loss then my straight thru 3 inch exhaust. :-)
