Hi all, I am a Drummer turned Bassist from PA. I picked up the bass because our band had two drummers, and the other drummer owns the practice space. Have to be honest, at first I was worried I wouldn't like it or be able to learn because I am a drummer by trade, but the opposite has happened.... my drums are collecting dust!!! So by a little bit of luck, I have found something I truly enjoy. I learned alot in just the first three lessons, and hope to be out playing someday as a first time bassist. Right now I need to focus on scales and finger speed!

When we spoke to bassist Doug Johns, he said he felt the bass was more like drums than like guitar. Methinks you are proof of that.
Welcome aboard!

Welcome, Lettieri40!
Quite a few of us former drummers are taking the TMBG course and having a blast. I hope you continue to enjoy the lessons!

Welcome AJ. Glad you are here. I'm no expert but it would seem that having a drumming background would put you one step ahead.

Glad to have you with us, AJ. I was a hand drummer, myself.

Very cool! I will say that I am locking in with the drummer very easily. I blame that on my past.
