Hey, I keep drumming on everything I find. Tables, stools and
especially my cheap keyboard. That keyboard has a certain
crunch to it. I'm worried about my notebook though. I hope the
hard disk can handle the shocks. :) I just can't keep calm to a
good rock song.
But whenever a real drummer sees me drumming on a bar table,
they gotta show me that there is more to it and I wonder how
one can ever learn to coordinate two hands and the feet to play
different rhythms and above that hit the correct drum.
