18/f.
I've been playing the drums for about 7 years if you count from when I started. I am not regular though.
My first year was taking basic lessons every weekend. The next 5 years were in the school band where I didn't really play the drumset per se, I had a lot of other parts too. I only occasionally played my drum set at home.
In my 6th year of drumming, I had a band for about 5 months but I was playing the same 6-9 songs. I didn't fit in with the band and they found a better dude drummer (they were all guys they just wanted me cos it would look cool to have a female drummer). That's fine cos I was taking my GCE O levels that year.
I have a band with my 3 closest friends but we aren't exactly good and we only jam like once every few weeks for a couple of months then we stop as we go to different schools and they all depend on me to sync everyone's schedule.
The problems is that I think I suck at drumming.
I think the only reason people think I'm good is because they're phased by the apparent rarity of a girl playing drums (in my personal life it's not so rare).
It sounds like I'm whining but I really think I'm not good enough to go anywhere with my skills or lack thereof (I wanna play some gigs) and I'm losing my motivation. I don't derive joy from playing or practising anymore. I just feel frustrated with myself and I feel like a failure. Is this affected by my depression (4 years and counting)?
I've got a guitar and keyboards - also bad as hell. I feel like I've been at beginner stage for all my years of playing these instruments and I am so angry with myself! I try to improve but I get really demotivated. How do I get myself to just pull through the practise to improve and to help me be less negative about my "skills"? (link)

I've been dealing with a similar problem too. I used to play sports and ride/fix bikes all the time. But I stopped, I think it was because I noticed how there were a lot of people who were just way better than I was. I also write poetry, but I can only write when some type of change happens in my life. When it's the same boring status quo, I can't pour my soul into it. It's very difficult to find motivation, and when I do, I easily get demotivated and then blame it on others when It's really my fault. Although I feel like a failure with many things, and often attack myself for it. I want to learn the guitar, people try to teach me but I can't get things right. I don't know ANY chords, BUT I experimented with different combinations and actually got some sounds that I liked. I'm the same way when people say I'm good at something. 'Cause even if I am kind of good, there's someone else who is way better and then I don't want it to get to my head so I can be full of myself. I guess it has to do with how one sees them self. With things like music, there's really no such thing as good or bad. That's why some may hate a song or sound while others love it. But either way there's no good or bad. Even with the person themselves aside from music. If a friend and enemy were to describe me, their descriptions can be opposites but not even I can judge which one is accurate. A complex ego can be part of it. The more people you know, the more opinions there'll be about you, when you hear those opinions they might or might not have an influence on how you see yourself. For example, people may think that pink is a feminine color or should only be used by girls. Society makes them believe this. If there was no society, they would choose a color that naturally attracts them because no one is there to have an opinion of it being right or wrong. Sorry if it's long.

Well, I say HELL NO. First off, think of the logic in his "music" He makes no sense. He does not "Rap" , he talks crap into a microphone. Really, what does his work do for me? It is also ignorant and stupid. He cannot even speak proper English. My 5 year old nephew has more skills in wearing pants. Lil' Wayne also likes people to see his butt. That's sexual harassment. In reality, the kids in 2nd grade who listen to him, are already 10 times smarter than him. People need to mature. Who in their dam mind wants to listen to an uneducated, stealing, lier? In fact, I switched to Rock because rap became very stupid. In fact, I'll say a little line of my own: 'Rappers like Lil' Wayne put hip hop at risk, Get out, you mess up the game like a scratch on the disk' - I just sayed something with more sense than his entire career. And if you disagree, that means you are too stupid to understand anything above a 2nd grade level. He is horrible. No talent whatsoever! I'd rather read ancient poetry! Whats his message?

Rock is better But I like both. I only listen to old, and underground, listen to Immortal Technique, he's the best underground MC alive, he talks about the government & similar stuff, here's some of his lines, it's vey good lyric, flow & point, makes sense, "When I grab the Mic device in front of christ & start to kick it,,, I make jesus turn around & say, "Yo pops! this ni**a flipped it! "NY state police trying to swallow me,,, locked me longer than PR been a colony" "get the f**k out if you want the foreigners gone,,, I'll paint the white house black & park my car on the Lawn" it's very good my favourite The 3rd World (he's from Peru): "From where police brutalitys not half as nice,,, makes the hood in america look like paradise"

Inside The fire, by Disturbed. He made this song because his girlfriend committed suicide & he felt like joining her. It's a good song if you understand it. This song got me into Rock.
