Drums

Well good evening everyone and thanks all for being so many to enter the raffle! So fun and I also get really happy to see that guys want to enter;=) Good luck all of you!

Today Seth has tried to play drums for the first time with a really nice and great drummer who were kind enough to take some time and show him a little bit. He will also be Seths drum teacher when we have bought the drums for him;=)

Seth really thought it was so fun and he was really good at keeping the beat so maybe there is a drummer talent in there, who knows?

After the drum lesson, Seth and me went to the music store and tried out a pair of Yamaha d-drums since we cant have a regular drum set, living in an apartment. While there, I bought a new microphone cable and a keyboard cable to my studio equipment. The microphone cable we had was broken, but now we´ll hopefully get some sound going;=)

Now time for some story telling before my weight exercise. Today I do upper body and my stomach;=)

  1. I think it's awesome that Seth wants to play drums. My boyfriend is a drummer. The only downside is the constant tapping on everything! lol Enjoy your day!

  3. I'm glad your son is going to play drums =)

    I did for a whole year. At the beginning it was not that easy but you manage to do some nice stuff after some hours. However, my teacher was not the coolest, hope Seth's will be nice with him!

    All the best for the family!

  6. Speaking about drums, you reminded me about the Nightwish concert that took place in Romania in 2009.
    Here are a couple of photos from back then, that I took during the concerts at the festival - http://ioanafilipas.blogspot.com/2009/08/artmania-2009.html
    There are some with Nightwish, and also one with you performing with Pain :)
    Sorry for the poor quality, but I was not allowed to bring a professional camera to the concert.

  8. Good evening Anette,
    don't thanks us. Thanks to you for this competion! I have to tell there are so many people have joined at it. I'm glad to read that Seth liked the first drum lesson. You had a really good idea to buy it to him so he can exercise with it. I think that in the future is he will play well, if he likes it and if he engage himself he of course become a really good drummer. In his family (i mean you and Johan) are all musician, so he will. :)

    How many days per week will he takes the next lesson? Let know us how is going in the net day! What are d-drmus?

    Enjoy you evening and take care!

    Big hugs

    Take care,

  17. Hi Anette!

    That sounds great! And even Jukka can give him some helpful tips :D

    I'm sure Seth will be a professional very soon, it just takes practice and if he likes it, it's easy as pie!

    Take care, sleep well :)

  18. What little boy (or man, for that matter) doesn't want to bang away behind the kit at some point? I think it's awesome and I hope he sticks with it! ~V

  19. Anette, some time ago (end of the year maybe) you told us you did an interesting deep interview and that it would have been ready sometime in January.... ??????
    Thank you!

  20. Wow!! I respect a lot the drummers 'cause is so hard to try to move all your body and coordinate it !! He must be a great guy!!

    Good look Seth!!

    I will try piano in the summer I already play keyboards but is a little different to play piano or that's what I've heard...

    As Jukka once said the drums are the instrument of Gods!! Jeje

    Hugs and love

  21. My brother is a drummer too, he has a thrash metal band. He says drum is the most fun instrument to play! I'm glad Seth is interested in music :)

  22. @ trisha6623 - My brother does that too! Only instead of being a drummer, he plays the bagpipes. He always has a pencil in his hands and "plays" songs on them.

  24. Hey Anette!

    That's cool Seth is liking this drum thing!

    He may have music talent inside indeed. It's kind of in the blood hehe.

    And being brought up by musicians and among musicians ends up raising a passion for music...wasn't like this with you? hehe

    kisses =*

  25. Hi Anette and thank you for holding the raffle and giving us all a chance :))
    I have two teenage kids one a composer/guitarist (going on to study music at Uni) and one who has just taken up the drums. She has to practice 30 mins per day! as we also live in an apartment I just ask that they dont play later than 8pm to spare the neighbours heehee no complaints so far! Seth is so fortunate to have a musical family and good luck to him with his drums (and other future instrumental experiments) You are a very cool Mum :)) Have a grt day Lee

  30. Hi Anette:
    I bet Seth looked so cute behind those drums! Always great to start an instrument young, I started playing flute at around 8 years old- played it for around 20 years now, scary thought!

    You always mention you like reading things by fans etc, if you want to here is a link to an interview with me about the work I do in the Nightwish community, some fans may like it too

    Take care- hugs

  35. Wow, I can't wait for the interview. I'm sure it is going to be amazing :)

  36. Good that he likes it! Hope he learns fast. take care

  37. Great that we're gonna read an interview. I'm really looking forward to it.

    I think it's a good choice to let Seth play drums. The earlier he begins, the faster he will be good at it.
    I wanted to learn how to play drums, too, but 1. my family didn't allow it and 2. I was informed by my doctor that I have a problem with my back which makes it impossible for me to play such an instrument like drums. I can't sit for a long time without getting bad aches.

    Now I play the keys, and I think it isn't that bad. To be honest, I love it ;)

    Good luck for your son, and all health & happiness to your and your whole family, Anette!

    Näkemiin,
    Naudiz
