'Ello. Time for me to stop lurking.
I'm yet another guy pushing 40 and just picking up drums. I have wanted to play since my teens but only now have the opportunity to do it. I'm a somewhat sucky guitar player but people who don't play think I'm pretty good. I hope to surpass that level with the drums. I feel I have at least a slight leg up, as I can already play numerous Rolling Stones tunes on the drums.
As you can see by my signature, I'm a little frustrated right now. Been waiting months on my TD-9KX like a number of others here. I do have a practice pad and a rather nice set of larger dual-trigger pads I intend to use once I actually get a set. So I'm doing as many rudiments as I can stand and trying to prepare myself for when the time finally comes.
Anyway, just wanted to thank everyone for a wealth of information so far and remark that people on these boards are a very friendly and helpful group, compared with numerous other boards I've been on.
