Drum master

A few days ago I met my drum master at some store on Sun-in electronics market. I was with two colleagues from work. I joined those two who used to take a walk after lunch as usual. And he was looking for some storage.

He looks much older than the last time when we met. It was ten years ago when we watch a Pat Metheny show at some Olympic stadium. Was it gymnastic something? I'm not sure. We had some talk after that in the bar which one of his band member owned at that time.

I started to play drums in 1990 and it lasted about six years. He taught me how to play them with some teaching material that is used in Kyunghee University. It was such a boring one, like the first time you learn to play tennis. It requires praticing simple patterns again and again. I wanted to sit on a drum right away and he didn't let me do that. But I didn't listen to him and sneaked around to play some tunes with my friends. After some years my skills didn't improve a lot and had to quit because I couldn't keep up with many drummers at my age.

In 1992 he started some club located around Hong-ik University but after some months he had to close it maybe because of money. However that's where he met his wife who was nurse at that time. We lost contact after that show in 1997.

He said to me to drob by his band mate's club located around Hong-ik University. Should I go there or not? I don't know. It was just like ten years ago and the same thing happened back in 1992. I thought my life has changed since then but still the same after all, I guess.
