Drumming versus Real Life

This Blog isn't called Drumming, it's called DrummingDad, so it's only right and proper that some real life creep in, so:

Drumming in a terraced house and with a small child who sleeps in the next room is always going to be problematic. It's especially frustrating if, like me, you're one of those people for whom the evening is when you're most awake and alert (morning people really freak me out - it's just not natural) . This has been a particular problem over the last couple of weeks and has severely curtailed my kit practice.

Fortunately I did knuckle down and put some pad time in instead, and this seems to have paid off as my latest lesson didn't seem to have suffered unduly. So all you folks wiht your sound-proofed playing areas, or kids home alone all day in the holidays, spare a thought for the frustrated bedroom-player who has to fight the urge to let rip at midnight (yes, we're still talking about drumming . . . )
