After work today, my husband showed me the video below. It's Danny Carey from Tool. Maybe you recognize him? He's a pretty incredible drummer! His set is pretty sweet, too.
In short, drumming often takes a lot of coordination! It looks easy, though, doesn't it? Well, believe me it's not!
But don't worry, Simon (my drum teacher) always said anything's possible with practice. Take it limb at a time! Take it slow. Sometimes I twirl a drumstick while I'm watching TV or tap rhythms out while I'm sitting at my desk. Practice doesn't alway have to happen at the set. I haven't sat at my set for a while. It's been a struggle balancing writing goals and increased online tutoring and teaching in this new Corvid-19 world we live in. But I try not to beat myself up about it, and you shouldn't either-- whatever hobby you've set on the shelf for a while. It's times like these--- where my husband shows me an awesome drummer video--- that I remember what it takes to be a drummer. I'm definitely proud to be part of the drumming family.

I'm what you'd call a "hobbyist" drummer.
