Something I Would Like to Learn

Hello, today I’d like to talk about an instrument I haven’t learned to play yet: the drums.

When I was younger (first year of secondary) I met my best friend, she was the nicest and the most interesting person I’ve ever met, when she introduced herself, she mentioned that she was in a band and that she plays all types of instruments since she was very young. She invited me to see her band perform.

 One day I went to the auditorium of my school and she was playing the bass but what really caught all my attention was the drummer behind her, she seemed so concentrated and at the same time, she looked like she was having the time of her life. After that I realised how much I wanted to learn to play the drums. As a kid I never showed any interest on that instrument but for some reason, I couldn’t stop listening to the drums that day. I asked my friend to teach me, but she told me that the drums are the only instrument she doesn’t know how to play, therefore I talked to the drummer of the band, we became friends and she taught me a few things, I liked it but it was really difficult for me considering I’m not the most coordinated person on earth.

A few months later I learned to swim, and that helped me with my coordination. Now I feel a bit more prepared, although I know it’s going to take a long time to be as good as that girl, because it isn’t as easy as it seems. I hope someday I’m at least half as good as she is, it would make me really happy and it seems like a good stress reliever.
