Listen to all kinds of music and start playing in bands as early as you can. And don't forget to practice rudiments!
How would you describe yourself:
I'm a person who never get's tired by anything. I'm always trying to be active, interested and open minded in everything I do. I'm impatient I guess. I talk a lot. Sometimes I'm too proud to say "you're right"...but I'm also getting insecure very fast.
When I look back on my life one day, I would like to be able to say:
I was able to live my dream: Being a professional drummer for the whole of my life and having played music I like.
