Our House Got Even Louder

Yes, we are crazy. We bought the eldest a drum. 

A loud drum that echos through the house... 

She's been wanting to learn piano, drums or saxophone after taking choir last Spring. 

With  her other activities we've been putting it off. We helped her narrow it down a bit. Piano takes alot of time with lessons and practice and is quite an investment, especially if she didn't like it. Saxophone was too heavy for her to hold and was also a big investment for an 8 year old. She wanted to play an instrument where she could be taught at home without having to go somewhere for lessons since she only has a few nights a week free. Soooo...since Jeff plays the drums well he can teach her at home in her free time. He knows all about drums so we went to a used instrument store and got a great deal on a very nice snare drum with case and stand. 

 She picked it up quickly. She had only been practicing about ten minutes when I took the videos. Jeff started her out with some basics. I actually don't mind listening. She has a good beat so I find myself bobbing to the music.. ask me if I like it a month from now though... 

As you can see, this guy is not very happy about this new turn of events....
