Great drummer. The harshness of 2016 continues. http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/original-yt-drummer-leonard-haze-dead-at-61/

Welcome Rob! As a fellow newbie, I've found this chap very useful: https://www.youtube.com/user/constantine2112/videos A good mix of songs and notation/tabs for all of his later playalongs.

Thanks!

Thanks Josie! I played a bit of drums in my youth (yes, started again) but lost interest when I wasn't as good as Ian Paice after a few years of playing....... Having more realistic expectations helps when it comes to learning. The goal is to keep improving, nothing more. There's quite a few of us late starters here, it seems. It feels very encouraging.

Many thanks chaps! It's truly never too late. I'm far from proficient on the bass, but I'm still surprised that learning new stuff comes relatively easy. With age comes patience, I guess.

Started my bassplaying 2 years ago (at the age of 50) I had an itch and decided to scratch it. The digital revolution has made it a lot easier (and affordable) to learn, record and enjoy music by yourself, which I'm thankful for since I'm not what you would call a people person. Basschat feels like a friendly, welcoming place with a good mix of members, from professionals to hobbyists like myself. I'm happy to be here!

Hobbyist. I enjoy playing music (mostly bass and drums) all by myself. The wife likes it too! She is still here, so I really think she does
