I got my drum kit somewhere around a year ago, but I'm not very good at it. I used to have a guy give me lessons, and then he stopped coming so I've pretty much been practicing a few things I already knew how to do and then trying to get down other simple patterns. I like to take what I know and add stuff, then speed it up some. That's how I hurt my finger :P
Ah, doing pretty good, actually. I have a spot on my finger where the skin's scraped off because I played the drums too hard, but other than that, I'm fine. And yea, I realize how weird that sounds written out :P
