So recently, when Dede was still here in Kiso, we went for a trip to Matsumoto for shopping. We finally came upon a music store, where I think we were hoping to find a cheap guitar for him so he isn't out of practice. They had some electronic drum kits on the floor, and everyone was trying them out. I had a go after Dede was constantly coaxing me to; I've never liked playing in front of anyone before, and especially now that I haven't played for a few years. But this kit was amazing, and to my surprise I found that I've still got it!
The good thing about an electronic drum kit is that it can be almost completely silent to those around you, if you want. Plus, it never goes out of tune. My old drum kit is so out of tune I don't think it will ever sound good again...if it ever did. So now I want one. Of course, these are incredibly expensive, if you want it to sound authentic. On one hand, I don't want one because of the price and I could buy so many other lovely things. On the other, I really enjoyed drumming the other day, especially when I realised I'm actually better than Dede. Dede who is a natural at all things he tries, in particular musical instruments. If I have a kit I will undoutably get better. I would probably practice more than I ever did in the past. When I listen to music these days, I've been listening to the drum beats and noting what I can and can't do. Of course, I couldn't get a kit of any kind here. It will have to be back in Australia, whenever that may be.
Well anyway, the purpose of the entry is to update with some photos! Unfortunately, Dede is gone, as is his fantastical camera that makes you look instantly 100% more attractive. For now we'll have to settle with my digital camera. Makes me want my my own DSLR now!
