So I continued to scroll through the menu until I saw a program playing called “Drumline”. I knew what the word drum was because I saw a picture of one on the alphabet line that my teacher had on the wall, so I went right ahead and clicked it. It turned out to be a movie and not a TV show, I found that kind of cool because the only channels that we had available…

had ever went through. We needed each other. We cried for each other. We were there for each other. I have never learned more about being a family until that tragic event. While his memory still lives on with us, we miss him every time we play our drums. Through my art, I have accomplished many feats. I have taken my rehearsed pieces to OMEA contest twice, once as an ensemble and the second time was a solo number. Both times, I received the highest grade that could be given in the class. At my…

Little did I know, God was about to use my dreams of becoming a drummer to teach me more and bring me closer then I could ever imagine. At the age of thirteen I began to get more and more interested in playing the drums. I had prior experience playing in concert band so it wasn't that hard…

“Come in, come in.” The rumbling of the drums came to a stop. His heart and soul still played to the beat of the music, showed me the artist inside. His bold white sneakers shining through the cracks of the drum set caught my eyes as he walked over to shake my hand. The rough, scratchy feeling as our hands meet in mid air transcripting his personal stories straight into the lines on my hand, one by one. As we sit down in the fluffy chairs surrounding the drum set, my nerves calmed into a…

the drummer for Led Zeppelin in the late 60’s and the 70’s. He had an amazing feel for the drums. Many songs represented him and who he is, a powerful and a great drummer.

First, he had a great feel for the drum kit. He really gets deep into the groove in the song, “When The Levee Breaks.” He also…
