I think I mentioned before that Timmy is taking drum lessons . . . yes, we are insane - but you either already knew that or are learning that now. The kid will drum ANYTHING - the table, stairs, cups, his chest . . . even his brother's head. Unlike my lovely father, he is actually pretty good and can follow a beat.
For his birthday I decided to get him some sticks and a practice pad (trying to discourage the drumming on the head!) and Chris has given him some lessons. He LOVES it. He is a great suck up, too - he will tell people that Chris is his favorite drummer and Phil Collins is his next favorite. He did that at Guitar Center and the poor kid working there was clueless - he was trying to figure out a famous drummer named Chris! I had to explain and he didn't seem as entertained as I was. Yup, he is smooth!
So, here is one of the many videos that we have of him drumming - it's from the same night that Andrew "had a mosquito" on his head . . . . .
Now we have to convince the boys that Derek Trucks doesn't give private guitar lessons . . . . . all while teaching them how to play the theme to Star Wars on the piano. It can get pretty loud in our house!
.....and, it's all about that 'different drummer', that both Tims follow....
