Answer 2

to be honest, i've been playing for 9 months and already know all of that, maby more . i am 13 too by the way. but it really doesn't matter how old you are, the skill matters.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Answer 5

All I can say is that anything is possible. The more you practice the better you get so stay positive. :-)

Answer 6

This won't help you that much because people here can't really hear you play.  You may say that you can play those songs, but can you play those song well?  We can't tell you whether you have potential or not...

Answer 7

I didn't start drumming until I was 20.

I bought used a set when I was in college and had to learn the really simple beats and fills.

Then I kept playing and kept practicing and kept learning for years.

Now I'm good and can play almost anything.

It doesn't matter how old you are.

Just keep playing and keep learning new things.

The most important thing is that you have a passion for it !

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 13

how am i supposed to judge based on such a shoddy description.

Answer 14

Sounds like it. It is kinda hard to tell without actually hearing you. I began playing when I was very young and couldn't play what you're playing by your age. I hope you have a good teacher. I never took lessons when I was young and I always regretted it. Shop around for teachers until you find one that's going to help you get where you want to be. If you don't read, learn. When I got to college I played in stage band but I was very limited because I didn't read well.

You probably have a bright future as a drummer. Keep at it, no matter what anybody else thinks.

Answer 15

never have heard you

Answer 16

its not about how old you are but how long youve played or how much u practise....for 4-5 years blink 182 should be like the easiest thing ever!....ive only been playing 2 years and i can play this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quPliK3eA...
