Hear hear! I've never been in a band either (would love to someday), but if I did I'd rather be in a mixed/all guys band. It would be more likely too, as I don't know any girl guitarists/bassists/singers, but I do know a few male ones.
Tough break! I'm sure the band's decision is no reflection on you, but I'm not surprised you feel hurt and your confidence knocked. I'm not speaking from any personal experience, as I've never been in a band (I don't think I'm good enough - YET!),...
I just think of a beat and start playing it, then gradually try and add more rolls & fills as I go on. Sometimes I play along to CDs or jam with my boyfriend on his bass. I can't be bothered with lessons or instruction books, I play drums for the ...
My dad was a drummer in his younger days, so maybe it runs in the family! But what made me want to play was hearing the likes of Lars Ulrich, Philthy Animal Taylor and Dave Lombardo, and I used to try and "air drum" to their records! I have only r...

- Hello Jane! I like your approach to learning. Above all else, it's got to be fun! The best "school" for me has been playing in a band. Are you involved in one right now, or do you hope to join/form one in the future? Very cool that your boss gave you his kit; I like the look of it! Some things were meant to be. Welcome to this site, and take care!-Jessica G.

- Six months!
- What is your drumming history:
- I wanted to play drums from my early teens, when I used to 'air drum' to the likes of Iron Maiden and Metallica! My dad and his dad before him were drummers, so I must get it from them. Having a couple of tries on other people's kits made me realise I had some rhythm but I never had enough room for, or couldn't afford, my own kit. That is until Christmas 2008, when my boss gave me his old kit because he got a new one (lucky or what?)! I've not had lessons, I just try to copy what I hear on my CDs.
- Describe Your Drum Kit:
- It's a vintage Premier in blue, consisting of 1 x bass drum, 2 x tom-toms, 2 x floor toms, snare, hi-hat, 1 x crash and 1 x ride/ crash. I want some new cymbals!
