She bangs the drums.

So, I had my first drum lesson with a guy called Louis, who reminds me a lot of my uncle Saul.

I felt bizarrely comfortable behind the kit and he told me I actually have good rhythm and a strong sound already and that mostly I need to work on my grip for now. I was also way better at playing along to the music track than playing by count.

He definitely did not say that I should give up because I'm cack-handed and shit, as I had feared he would.

Now I just need to call back and arrange my lessons.

Blimey.

It's been quite a week, so far.
