I decided at 46 years young it was time to learn the drums, and I began in-person lessons with an instructor back in July of this year. I’m progressing through a couple of the usual beginner drummer books and I’m still enjoying it, although I find that I’m getting less and less “value” from my instructor. Don’t get me wrong— I still enjoy the instrument and I love playing everyday (practice and noodling around on the kit). There’s a part of me that feels like I’m reaching the plateau with my instructor, so I was wondering if this is a typical experience. At what point do you move on? What are the flags/signs?
