I recorded myself playing the drums and uploaded the videos to Youtube for my former mentor to critique. But then I was dumb and posted the videos to Facebook, too, even though I rarely look in on FB antics anymore. But I'm feeling pretty good about the progress I've made in seventeen months -- and if I can pick up a brand new instrument and have a blast, anyone can. And should! If you're thinking about learning something new, just do it. Have fun. In fact, have a blast.
