I started playing the drumset in the 9th grade, and now it's a huge part of how I define myself. Finding other musicians to play with is a great way to meet people--all my best friends are people I play music with. It's also my therapy--If I'm feeling sad or angry or nervous, I just go play my ass off for an hour and I feel all better. It's even a fair amount of exercise, especially if you're playing heavier music.
