About
There are plenty of drummers around that only play the drum set but few are able to play both drum kit and the variety of percussion instruments available. As a child, i was always tapping rythms on anything I could get a nice sound on. I used to make my own drums out of coffee cans, masking tape and pencils (in place of drumsticks). When I was working, I would save up to buy as many instruments as I could afford. After playing with several local bands, so far I keep myself busy playing percussion at my local church. It helps to keep my skills up.
