My name is TJ and I am 19. The first time I picked up a pair of drum sticks I was about 5 years old. I fell off of music for a few years recently and I remember why I loved it so much. Come from a musical family and Ive played many instruments over the years but something about percussion called to me.
Side note
I have always had trouble reading music (no pun intended). It would be clutch if I found someone to teach me.
