into my life.

        I never know what I'm doing with this blog but I thought that some of you readers [three of you] are getting to know a little bit about me.  With that said, I want to let you know that I am falling more in love with playing drums everyday.  I love studying [youtubing drummers] drums and learning new things, sounds, techniques, etc.  I want to share with you a drummer whom I am really into right now, just so you can get a taste of awesomeness and maybe see what it is I see about drums.  This guy owns a drumset.  And by "owns" I mean he is not afraid of it.  This is something I am learning about the skill of drums, I CAN have control over the kit.  The drums don't move, the drummer does.  Confidence is huge in any skill, be it music, painting, writing, photography and whatever hits home with you.  You've got to own your skills. 
       They are gifts that have been given to you.  Specifically for you and you have the ability to add your personality into it.  I hope with drums that my personality shows through the playing.  This video I posted below is a drummer who plays with a ton of confidence.  If you can at least see that aside from the musical aspect, I hope it can encourage you in your own skill!  I know this blog post is late at night compared to my other ones, but if there is one thing I know about creative people... you like to stay up late.  With that said I present to you Chad Smith.
