My experience playing the drums in front of a crowd.
I started learning how to play the drums 10 years ago in August of 2006. I liked it, but I didn't really enjoy practicing. I would only play and practice during class. In December of that year I had my first concert.
First, I performed a demonstration of what I had learned through out those months. I played mixed rhythms altogether with my teacher, and then I played "We will rock you" by Queen. It turned out to be really fun, I wasn't nervous and I performed as if I had done it all my life. The following year, also in December, I played "Knocking on heaven's door" by Guns n' Roses, and it was the first time people gave me a round of applause. I stood up and bowed before them in order to show my gratitude for their gesture. By the year 2008, I began practicing with a band, it was formed by students who played other instruments, such as a guitar, bass guitar, and a singer. We played "Back in black" by AC/DC and "Parallel universe" by Red Hot Chili Peppers and we had a huge crowd cheering us on, unlike any other I have experienced before. It was awesome, but eventually everything comes to an end. In 2009, I did the same as the year prior, I joined the same kind of band to play another song, "El pibe de los astilleros" by Patricio Rey y Sus Redonditos de Ricota. It was a mess! People didn't rehearse, I was the only one practicing the song, and when we had to play it on stage, it didn't go as I hoped, but in the end people still gave us a sincere round of applause.
Next time, I'll talk a bit more about my last concert's experience. I'll appreciate any correction!
