is it wrong to want to be a drummer?

If you are going to be a drummer you better be good and have understanding neighbours otherwise you will get noise abatement notices.

Mind you when a drummer moved in next to me years ago I was very happy as he got rid of the moaning neighbours underneath us who couldn't understand if you move into a non-soundproofed house converted into flats then you get to hear everyone around you.

err +10!!!!

where is the crying smiley? It took a close friend of mine five years to get used to it...

Oh! I assumed your post the other day about someone being born in 1980 being 30 was referring to yourself.

I have played the drums for nearly 30 years. Started out playing the snare for a couple of years then progressed up, if you do it that way you advance quicker in later years but 2 years of Podemski is not a bundle of laughs. Buying a kit is pretty simple now, a decent roland digital kit can be got for about 500 quid and nobody gets upset by the noise. i'll probably fork out a couple of grand on my next one.
