the unheard talents that are suppressed at the basic level

my cousin was a complete music buff. he knew how to play the guitar. he played the electric guitar. he even knew how to connect electric guitar to computer and make changes in the sound and do editing. he and his friends had an underground band. they use to hold jamming sessions every weekend. their friends were allowed to watch if they wanted. i used to go there and watch them play every once in a while. that is how i fell in love with playing drums. i loved the energy and the strength it required to bang the sticks on the drums following a certain beat. i wanted to take classes for drumming but from the small town i live in, there was at that time no one offering such classes. i requested my cousin's friend who used to play drums for the band to teach me. he told me that he can teach me the basics and if i am good at it, i should back it up by taking some classes because i have to learn the technicality of it. i learned from him a little but never got around to taking classes since the life ahead busied my schedule for me and my dad despised this hobby of mine. thus i packed up my drum sticks, and put them away, never to be unpacked again.
