awards bad bands drums excited liked looked looks paid school sparkle totally
Drums started to be the only thing I was excited about. School sucked.I was a bad student--too rambunctious, and I never paid attention. But bands were cool. I was totally into being in a band. I liked how bands looked at the awards shows, like the Grammy's, in their little sparkle suits. When you're a little kid, that looks pretty rockin' impressive.

almost along attention best dad drummers duran easiest guy headphones heavy king kit learn listening notes parts paying pearl playing punk sprung uncle until
I wanted to be like the guy from Duran Duran. I wanted to play 16th notes and 'four on the floor' so bad. I was listening to punk all day and my uncle used to listen to heavy medal, and I really started paying attention to what the drummers were doing. I didn't get my own set until my dad sprung for a Pearl kit for my thirteenth birthday. I got headphones and a Walkman and I was playing along with The Cars, Zepplin, AC/DC is the best way to learn how to play rock. They're the easiest drum parts ever, like they make you feel like you're king of the world almost right away.
