We also have an electronic set here at home for jam sessions and so I can practice without disturbing the neighbors, but that won’t do you much good unless you know how to play already. Rock Band is really good for teaching the basic coordination and learning some fun beats. It would definitely be a good place to start. >-

[...] I don’t know how many of you already know about this site but it was one I had to share. It’s called Girls Can’t What? and it’s stories from women who have been told that they can’t do something because they’re ‘just a girl’. I submitted my story a few days ago and it was published here Angie’s Band Teacher Said Girls Can’t Carry Drums [...]

Thanks Gretchen! I have thought about playing now, I’m just lacking the room for a set. But the Rock Band idea sounds good, I think I can make room in my tiny packed studio for that lol.

Angie – I feel your pain. However – it’s not too late to start. And this may sound a little crazy, but if you have a game system, start playing Rock Band. I’m serious. My kids have been playing Rock Band for several weeks now and they can sit down at my drum set and pound out beats that they learned from the game. It’s pretty amazing. Give it a shot! b-)
