BROKEN KEYS
I recall many years ago when I started drumming, I didn't understand much about drumming, as a matter of fact I didn't know anything about it, but I was passionate about it, I was willing to learn, willing to do anything to be perfect, I would spend all nights and days watching YouTube videos on different drumming skills and technique, but it was more like I was just watching for entertainment rather than to learn, even tho I tried to learn and practice.
As venture on, without understanding what I was doing, just been driven by passion, even as I grow older, I'm still fascinated by pro drummers how they're able to play so well, with exceptional perfection and grace, even tho I understand that it only take days of consistent practice and sacrifice to be thjs perfect, then it dawn on me one time that all of the amazing strokes patterns skills and technique is all but one thing....
Few years ago my closest friend also was interest In learning the piano, so he started out with a demo piano app he got from play store, then began scoring songs and their notes, and everything began to fall in place, soon enough he began to play for our local church choir
I see All these instruments as just a piece of art that can only express itself when acted upon with the right and proper stroke per time at the perfect timing.
One Day I want to do some personal practice, so I sat quietly behind the drum kit striking each Tom with my stick and observing theor tone, it sounded good, but my play was awkward, so understood right there that all these kit just lay waiting to acted upon, everything in the piano has been perfectly arrange, but awaits you to tune it to your preferred desires
You have the sole decision to tune it or stroke it how ever you wish but there are pattern to be followed, there are rules that must be obeyed if you wish to master them, own them, control them to you d as you want them to,
let'stalk about life from that stand point
A lot of people will blame life for been Unfair to them, how cruel life is, how unfortunate everything is around them, so was I when I started playing the drums, I complain a lot about everything, meanwhile I refuse to accept blame rather I would blame it on the drums.
Everyone of us have some point have pushed that blame to life, to everyone else to the world for been cruel, despite our effort it never works, at some point we gave up, so was I.
Not once, not twice, have I resigned and told myself I would never play the drums again... Like I was done with it, but something kept pushing me to seat behind that kit, now I realize that since the blame is on me, than I need to work on me, to get the right skills, training, practice more, spend more time, rehaersing more to gain perfection which is a must.
There's no point blaming anyone else, blaming your government, the system, the whole world for what's going on around you, life is just the way you choose to see it, whatever you decide, what ever you want, what ever you choose that's what you get out, there's no point feeling bad about it, go work on your self, acquire the necessary skills and training to handle everything found in life.
Life is beautiful, life is everything good, the outcome, consequences, circumstances and all that happens is all tied to our own choices and decisions, consider the drum kit and the piano, if you don't understand how, where and which key or Tom to stroke it won't produce, the desired result you want... So is life...
THINK ABOUT IT
