My folks actually did get it. In 1965 I told my dad I wanted to be a drummer. He bought me a snare drum and paid for lessons that taught me a bunch of percussion fundamentals as well as the intricacies of reading percussion sheet music. Later that year I started playing school bands - marching bands, concert bands and orchestra. In 1966 I talked my dad into buying me a small, used drum set. That took some real talking on my part, because he and my mom both knew that meant some extended periods of rather loud noises at home. By 1969, I graduated to a Gretsch double bass with 5 toms, and was jamming with any and every band I could find. I continued to drum for about 15 years. I couldn't find a band that wanted to get really serious about making music. All that most of them wanted to do was get high and pick up girls. That might sound fun to some, but to me it wasn't. I sold my drums and just walked away. I did love playing in the 1970's, but by the 1980's the fun just kinda went away.
