hey, im 16, i dont own drums..only practice pads, i dont have too much money for lessons, but i REALLY want to learn. im guessing this is a long shot but anybody wanting to teach drum lessons for nearly nothing?? meh, gimme a shout back ..maybe ill get lucky. - Tue, 11 Mar 2003 2:02pm
Gene Krupa I don't think that is going to happen. Get your folks to put there hands in their pockets. Instruction doesn't come free. - Tue, 11 Mar 2003 2:58pm
Anonymous that was pretty mean.
this kid has more enthusiasm and determination than some of you have in your little pink dinks just for posting a message like that on here.
dude, i'm sure you'll find a way to get your lessons. - Tue, 11 Mar 2003 3:46pm
Gene that's not mean, that's realistic. Ask any decent drummer for free lessons and I can almost guarantee you it will not happen.

If you don't have it, get a part time job. - Tue, 11 Mar 2003 3:58pm

If I played drums, I'd hook the kid up with free lessons, just out of spite.....

And to aid the cause of Rock.... - Tue, 11 Mar 2003 4:21pm
Anonymous Man, people are fucking idiots.
Kid, there's always something you can do, $$$$ doesn't rule your world. Always remember that one or you'll be limited in all your thinking like "asshole" above.
You could trade for lessons: poster for bands, haul gear, hell, mow a drummer's lawn. There's always a way.
And a lot of us here have a lot of respect for a kid who'll do what he needs to do get involved with the scene. - Tue, 11 Mar 2003 5:02pm

Gene Krupa Yes, you mentioned you are a girl. That may open (no pun intended) a few doors for you (if you are good looking). That and money speak it's own special language.

If ya were a greasy, whiny 16 y/o male...we'd be back to square one...get a fucking job, ya lazy cunt. - Tue, 11 Mar 2003 7:51pm

just to balance the scales.. I've offered said "teen" super-discount lessons... heh heh.. i'm the rare breed that wants to see my juniors learn, and have appreciated all lessons, clinics, and tips along the way.. from asking some local drummer a couple questions after his gig, to meeting the John Cougar Mellencamp drummer along with various others, I could now take the meager samplings I got from each and practice all kinds of things.. for years. I'm sure i may be an exception, but hey, what goes around comes around.. all you skeptics don't deserve discounts.. ha ha.. trade for bud? just kidding.. I like the mow-drummers-lawn one... funny.. hey, I need my bathroom painted.. - Tue, 11 Mar 2003 8:02pm

Your a bunch of dipshits. E-mail me if you want to learn some stuff. My drums are at my house, twenty feet away from my girlfriend. So thats not what I was offering. I was just trying to be a nice guy. I didn't even realize you were a girl when I first offered, but I think I can probably get over it if you can. - Tue, 11 Mar 2003 11:52pm
RSBF if you're serious about wanting to learn some drum technique - and jay here is offering - you should really take advantage of that. he's impressive to say the least and one day you can brag about learning from him (seriously - no joke). i'd say he's an excellent person to network with as well if your goal is to hit the stage with a band. - Tue, 11 Mar 2003 11:57pm
