 OK! Let's all show our age!
How long have you been playing the drums?
I started at the tender age of 10 back in 1980....yes, I've been playing for 28 years. How about you?

i started at about age 8... but didn't really know anything... literally... about drums. just how to play basic rock beats.
so im gonna count whenI got my kit at the moment of when I started. I got it on my 13th birthday so about 8 months properly.

Started playing the snare when I was 10, so 24 years. I did however have 11 years of on and off again playing due to married life.

There was always a set of drums set up in our house. My Dad was a gigging drummer and he was my main influence. At around 4 I was able to sit on the edge of the throne and reach the floor.
I'm 50 now...it's hard to believe.

I got interested when I was about 12, and I'm 15 now.
I only started taking it seriously about a year ago, though.

I'm 20, going on 21 in 6 months. I've been playing since I was about 3-4 years old. My dad bought me a 4 piece kit when I was 4 after I sparked an interest in drums. He showed me a couple basic beats and a couple fills, gave me a pair of headphones, some cds and tapes to jam to, and turned me loose. Rest was practice, practice, practice and hours upon hours of jamming to/learning from tapes and cd's.
Videos helped me too.
