Music
For me without music I would crawl up into a corner and die.
Music makes me think and feel about who I am, where I have been, what I have done, what I am doing, where I want to go, where I am going and so many more emotions. I listen to music to reflect on my life. I listen to music to feed myself adrenaline during a hard workout. I listen to music to relax my body and mind. I listen to music when I am am close to someone special. I like many genres of music and my two favorite styles are 80′s retro music and hard and heavy rock music. Later on I will post a top 100 band list of my favorite bands.
I have played the drums on and off since 1985 and the first thing I notice in music is the drums. I admire many high end drummers. For me average is not good enough. You are either outstanding or you are nothing.
I like watching the drummers other drummers go to see like Tommy Lee, Kenny Aronoff, Morgan Rose, Racci Shay, Christian Eigner, Chad Szeliga, Dennis Chambers, Vinnie Paul, etc…
I don’t actively play the drums like I use to because as a person my life dreams and goals have changed from wanting to be a rock star to wanting to just settle down and be grounded. This does not mean I will not play again this just means I right now choose to focus on achieving other personal goals and work on other areas of my life. In my heart I will always be a drummer and I can sit behind the drums and rock out just as easy as it is for someone to get on a bike and ride around the block. I will always know how to play the drums and the drums will always excite me.
