I dunno...I'm losing interest in playing drums. Just by myself. I love playing with my band. But when I'm myself I don't have anything to try hard for.
I need a book or something to keep me going.

I've been playing about three years and I still don't sound anything like what a pro could summon in an instance. I get on my kit, I'll play for maybe 20-30 minutes and get fed up for the day. And maybe the next few days I won't play.

I think that with the amount of time I've been playing for compared to the level of talent I'm at is bringing me down. I feel disappointed when I try to get tricky and go fast with amazing dynamics and just...the feel, and nothing comes out except something that sounds like a marching band drummer. I need something to help me solo better. Please, PLEASE help me guys. Talk to me about this. :/

I dunno..because I can't play anything spectacular or awesome sounding, I get bored listening to just..drums.
