This weeks assignment

This week we were set a task in the Weblogs class to answer questions about a skill we may possess.

After thinking long and hard I decided to write about my hobby of playing the drums. I have been playing for nearly 6 years including at school which technically didn’t count because we were only taught simple rhythms for the first two years.

I started off with a very basic and standard Premier kit. A standard kit basically consists of 7 pieces. These are;

• Bass Drum
• Snare Drum
• Two Tom Tom Drums (the two drums built in to the base drum)
• Side Drum
• High Hat
• Symbol
  
  Then two and a half years and 5 sets of drum sticks later, I traded my 250cc off road Motorbike for my next member of the family, and also pocketed some cash for the exchange, A (?) drum kit which I then combined and spray painted to give me:
  
• 2 Bass drums
• 4 Tom Toms
• 5 Symbols (although 3 broke)
• 2 High Hats
• 2 Snare drums
• 1 Side drum
  
  With the extra set I now practise 5 songs a day from my favourite band Metallica, the songs I practise daily range from;
  
• Master Of Puppets (obviously),
• One,
• For Whom The Bell Tolls,
• Sanatarium (welcome home),
• St Anger,
• Some Kind Of Monster,
• Frantic,
• All Within My Hands,
• Battery,
• The Thing That Should Not Be.
