I read through the forums and I see all of you talking about playing gigs and with your bands or working through music school...all such wonderful things. In the meantime, here I sit, taking my lessons and learning and playing for nothing more than the pure love of the music and playing the drums for no one but me. I really don't see me ever being in a band or playing with anyone else on a regular basis (part of the problem has been finding others to play with, part of it is that it's just not a huge deal to me at this point).
Is this wrong? Is it essential that I find a band? I want to have that experience but I don't know if it's something I want to do as a permanent situation. I'm having a great time learning and can hear myself constantly improving but for now, playing along to songs on youtube or the occasional jam with my bass-playing boyfriend is keeping me happy.
I guess I sometimes wonder if it's worth all the time and trouble if I have no real end goal?
I LOVE it and will keep on playing no matter what but do wonder if I'm a little weird sometimes for approaching it in this matter.
What do you think?
