I could have been a much better drummer had I been exposed to such lessons through the internet when I was young. The kids and youths of today never had it so good.
When we had our first television set in 1965, it was black and white. The only pop show shown was Shindig! The only Beatles show was in cartoon form, just half an hour. There was no recording for later viewing.
Now, you can search for just about any song by any artiste using the internet. You can also buy the CD, VCD or DVD. There are players which can even slow down the song or tune for you to learn the lead or chords. There are much more gadgets than I could ever keep up to date with. Guitars can be tuned electronically instead of guessing.
At the recent DoReMi's 30th Anniversary celebration, what I should have done was to ask to have a go at their well amplified Sonor drums kit on the stage and have a picture taken. At the end of the show, the staff were having a group photo taken on stage. People were leaving the hall. How often do we have a chance like that? It was a cozy evening and we knew the boss too.
