You’re super cool! Drums were always my favorite growing up. I took lessons in 5th grade and loved it so much. I’m glad there are gal drummers like you out there.
I’ve never truly forgiven my 6th grade music teacher for pulling me out of percussion and putting me on violin because it’s a “better instrument for women”. He wouldn’t even let me play the upright bass, that was “too heavy for women”. This was the mid-90s and he was old enough to have taught my mom the flute. I did enjoy the violin a lot, but playing the chimes for Carol of the Bells was so much fun.
Appreciate it, but I doubt it. Guy was in his 60s over 30 years ago and he taught my mom in the 1960s, he may not even be alive anymore. He was otherwise a good enough teacher, but that was something that always irked me.

Is your ex music teacher still alive and based in Europe? If so, I might want to go smack him in the gob! 😄
