Dream<=>Reality

I entered the room with a lot of thoughts in my mind…..”Can I do it? Can I continue with it? Am I doing the right thing?” etc. My mother questioned me like a thousand times, if I was sure of doing this thing. But, I’ve always wanted to do it, this was my dream!

Well I might sound a little confused or worried, but I am just talking about my “drum classes”!

Today was my first class; students were playing. I was asked to sit for a while. I sat in a corner and listened to all that the students played, enjoyed every bit, n imagined that magical moment when I would hold those sticks and sit in front of a snare drum and actually play it! My anticipation was answered soon. I was told to hold those sticks and was taught the first lesson. What an amazing feeling.

This experience was about concentration and coordination, mind, hands n legs should work together in order to get the right beat, a little slip in your concentration u loose the pace. This was the answer to my concerns mentioned earlier. Once I had those sticks in my hand n tried that first beat, I got my answer.

I have seen people play in great bands, have seen some excellent videos; and just dreamt of doing the same some day. This was just the beginning. My lesson went on for 30mins; I left the place contented and happy. All I wanted now is to get back the next day to continue with my lessons. J
