Hello all you Kats and Kittens,

 

My name is Anthony and I am a Woodwind player. My handle and avatar say that i play drums. Well I do. I came to this board for my drumming. I have been playing drums and percussion for the past 17 years. HOWEVER I have been playing woodwind for the past 32 Years. I started out in the school system on Clarinet. Did from 4th grade on to High School. In HS I taught myself Saxophone. Only way to get into stage band. So thru HS played legit Clarinet and Jazz Sax. In College I got into the Jazz Arts II at Wichita State U. First day they handed out the music....Flute...Bass Clarinet...Piccilo...Clarinet...Flute...ect....ect... and last but not least SAX. Director looked at me and said, "Got a problem?" I said nope. Went to the instrument check out and checked em all out. Grabbed a fingering chart and hit the practice room.... BUT now I can do it an love doing it.

 

Anyway so if you see me answering on any thread and see the drummer thing remember I am one of you too!!!

Haha, that's awesome.

 

It must be so cool to be able to double on all those instruments along with drums.

 

Welcome!

I got into drums when I was a Music Major. I had to learn how to play piano. Being a monophonic dude for so long I had problems with seperation in my right and left hand. Some one sudgested that I try to play a kit to teach myself seperation. I found this old 3 piece in the local paper for $50. Got it and slapped some new heads on it. Then for another $50 found some beatup cymbals at a pawn shop. Now i have sort of a complete kit. Then when I transfered schools to a smaller one. The stage band had no drummer. Since I has a kit kinda and could read music kinda I became the drum section at the little school... and the rest as they say is history.... BUT I still play my sax every summer and more aournd this area. Gotta love that sax.....

You went to Kansas University? :eek:

 

That's where I'd be going... But I decided to go to a community college for the first two years because it's free!

 

It's my #1 choice for a university to transfer to!

 

Lawrence is so beautiful... It's been like 4 years since I've gone there. I miss it. :cry:
