It’s been a year since I started playing because I’ve been depressed and stressed out. My drum teacher said he couldn’t play when he was depressed either. This will be the third or forth time I’ve played in a couple of weeks since I stopped playing a year ago. I’ll have to wait and see if I can keep playing often. It helps because it gives me something to do. Does anybody else play the drums or any other instrument?

I played the drums today, too. I play along with songs through my headphones since I’m by myself.

I hope you enjoy it as mush as I do
i had to give away the piano i was given because we sold our home during a business crisis.
i taught myself to play some and learned to read notes.
i’m glad you mentioned this, i may check the newspapers as big old piano have often been for free to a good home.
although i have bipolar also, i still like shinedown’s sound of madness. words have different meanings for me.
could you play that song? i’m just curious.
what songs do you play when you practice?
I play along to Dave Mathews band because Carter beauford is my favorite drummer. I think Dave Mathews is ok but I just love their drummer. I also play to Guin Stefanie, Kid Rock, Freddy Jones band and others.

are you on youtube? sometimes a friend of mine and i go listen to local bands. i love music. i bought my children guitars, drums, everything i could afford,
unfortunately they like me only listen.
you sound young. and i have a lot of faith in the younger generations.
i heard the 30-40’s will be the first in american history that will not be able to surpass the material wealth of their parents. well, i think, hands down spiritually the younger generations will do a better job than mine or my parents or grandparents.
we were gullible. we sent people to washington, just believing, they would look out for us.
i guess you might notice my untreated bipolar. the doc will allow me to try lithium after the holidays, i don’t want to be driving. i’ve never tried a mood stabilizer.
anyway, if you have anything on youtube just let me know.

Sweet @Jake I’m glad you can channel your illness into a positive. I play concertina and didgeridoo. I dabble in various flutes, duduk, and am trying my hands at the erhu. But love the first two. Keep on a pattering.
Love Lars Ulrich, he must have a super stamina
I was able to practice piano today. Its been a long while since I’ve played and am really rusty. Its like relearning a whole other language again.
