I am a self-taught drummer with 20 years of experience. I did get lessons by the drummer of Cardia Arrest from Chicago. I was a member of five bands in three countries ranging from hard rock to deathcore. It was a wild ride. Not sure if I'll ever get back into since I gots kids and sold my acoustic kit, but perhaps getting an electronic kit will be a good compromise. Music has always been my lifeline in stressful times, and drumming was simply cathartic. #CoSoMusic
