New drummer

Greenbelt MD

Description

I'm a new drummer (2+ yrs exp.) looking to jam with one or two musicians (preferably a keyboard player, guitarist, or bassist) to gain experience playing with others. I enjoy playing to many genres of music including: rock, r&b, blues, swing/jazz, country and shuffles. I'm in my 50s, so I'm a bit old school. However, I'm very open to play to any genre of music. I play on a Yamaha electronic drum kit. I started taking drum lessons at the beginning of 2019, but stopped after about a year when the pandemic hit. The lessons set me on the right path and really helped develop my drum technique, timing, limb independence, and reading of drum sheet music. Throughout 2020 and 2021, I've been directing my own practice routine almost on a daily basis - focusing on timing and limb independence, working on dynamics, and improving day by day. I've also been watching hours of drum videos on YouTube to continue learning and developing. I have a full-time job, so I'm just looking to play maybe once a week. Also, because I live in a condo, I need to find someone with their own place to jam. Hopefully, I can find a situation that is not too far from Greenbelt, MD. Not looking for gigs or finding a band yet. Fully-vaccinated.
