And I will not be part of this nonsense anyway.

Thank you, Whitelotus.

Do you really play?

I've always wanted to play drums but my parents insisted that it's not a "girl's instrument" and they made me play the flute instead. Not that I'm complaining...I've enjoyed it. Having said that, do you know anyone who is willing to teach? I'll pay for lessons (assuming the price is reasonable).

don't listen to them!!! it's totally ok for a girl to play the drums. hell, I do! I'm not very good at it, mainly because my parents don't believe in lessons, they say if I were a real musician I would learn myself, and they would never pay for a lesson. I finally found a practice room in college and taught myself. Learning the drums is the funnest thing in the world, especially if you're into cognitive science.

my recommendation: find a practice room, or better yet buy a drum set (you can probably get one cheap from the recycler) if worse comes to worse, go to guitar center or a store of the same sort where you can play on the displays!

then again you might want to ask Arvestaked, being a real drummer and all

Terri Lyne Carrington is a phenomenal jazz drummer.

Also there is a jazz band I've seen play in a jazz club in Sherman Oaks that is all women and is not bad. The drummer knows what she's doing.

If you are willing to take lessons and you are serious:

Contact him. He is very good. And very reasonable. He is excited about teaching which is very important and has been doing it for a long time. He is on staff at the Musician's Institute.
