Hi, Jessica!

I, too, am a drummer and drum teacher who lives in Ohio.  I'm not trying to 
"drum up business" (pun intended); but, if you live close enough, perhaps your 
parents would let you take some lessons (if not from me, then, perhaps, from 
someone closer).  Lessons DO make a real difference!  It's tough to "unlearn" 
something that you've learned, on your own, incorrectly (I know of this because 
I've been there).  Regardless of your geographical location, take lessons 
from the best drum instructor you can find!

Have your folks contact me at my e-mail address:  azljn1@...

Welcome to the group!

SHALOM!
