[Drummer Kid]

Mine was getting my Pearl kit.

[White]

Getting my Mapex M Pro, then playing it allllllll day, until night, then i built my practice set but it in the most solidary confined room in my house and palyed all night.

[styler]

my teacher calling me his prodigy and telling me the studio is gonna be mine someday.

[Massik Kretal]

Playing my first solo in the schools winter concert. Lights dimmed, jazz band left the stage and I OWNED! :lol:

Getting 4th chair in the high school regional honor band as freshman, only two freshman made it in the entire band of 109 people and I was the only percussionist that wasn't a senior.

Hmm...I don't think I can pick a "favorite." There are so many! One of my favorite types of experiences are those moments of clarity where I'll come up with some of my best stuff. It can happen anywhere....sometimes not even at the kit, ideas just sorta pop into my head.

[milkmit]

in my year and 2 months or so, I think my favorite moment was about 2 weeks after I got new heads for my snare and toms (G1 coated). at first, I was a bit disappointed as I had a bit of trouble tuning them (couldn't find that nice fat spot!)....but after a bunch of tweaking -- particularly with the reso heads -- I finally found it....and man do those drums sinnnnnnnnngggg now!! nice and focused & even, but also so warm and so rich. love em!

So far, first drum set. It's crap but it's my first set and I love drumming, it's so pure and free.

[Phototropic]

I learnt a new beat by Isis the other day, its very simple and the fills are no brainer...but I'm extremely proud of myself :) It grooves like a cunt

When I was playing it over and over again spot on that was a good experience

Also practising my bands songs all week at home with a metronome and then yesterday in band practise ****ing nailing them first time :)

I still suck though :(

Looking forward to ordering new kit and stuff

[Drummer Freak 911]

Hmm let's see, playing the drums makes my life so awesome.
Hehe i got a favorite, after playing in our school concert, when I went backstage to get my drums into the carrying cases i met my girlfriend for the first time :cool:



Lol that was like 2 years ago

[Aaron]

When i met dom howard i didn't know what to do. he gave me his autograph so i fished out a drumkey from my pocket and said "well i've gotta give you something" he roared with laughter and it made us both smile..

Getting into the senior band for expierence jazz musicians at the age of 12

[Panopticon]

playing YYZ at a battle of the bands (and winning), only to realize that mr. Peart himself was, in fact, present.

[FL3P]

Walking into my dads house on Christmas morning and seeing my very own drum set when I was 12 or so would still have to be it. It's been so long since that everything else is kind of a blur.

[Futuro]
