Have fun!
Welcome aboard!
Welcome @alesplin! You know, you should just get the e-drum kit, too 
I mean, at some point I’m gonna probably get some drums of some sort. The Logic Pro drummers aren’t terrible, and I have used the midi controller to do a couple of simple drum parts/fills for songs I’ve learned, but I think learning to play proper drums is in my future…
My brother started, he used to be a guitar player and now he is totally immersed in drums. It’s a cool instrument.
If only we had a jamulus server here 
My brother played drums (don’t know if he still does, but he’s in his neurosurgery residency so I doubt it), but I always sort of felt I wouldn’t be coordinated enough. Now that I’m older I take more of a “I got time, patience, and perspective. I can learn enough.” view.
It’s all about having a good teacher and method, just like B2B here. 
My brother showed me a few ideas that translate to bass as well, like the “say everything you do out loud, then do it in sequence.” I thought I’d never be able to drum anything - but I could learn it.
Anyway, welcome and have fun playing bass and exploring the forum. 
I think also 25 more years of experience listening to music will be helpful. Just as I’ve learned to isolate and hear guitar and bass tracks in music, I can hear and isolate which drums (or parts of the kit) are playing which beats. So if I just lock on to that (and slow it waaaaayyyy down) I think can learn at least enough for my purposes.
Hi Josh
I am Patrick, an Englishman living in Bekescsaba in Hungary (long story) and I have been working in a school for a few months and they need a bass player for the school band! So I have until September to get the basics down. Looking forward to getting going.

Hi,
I’m Mario and currently live in Virginia. I’ve played guitar along with some bass for many years. Most of what I learned was through trial and error. For a variety of reasons I’ve decided to concentrate on bass these days. I decided to do the B2B course to get the fundamentals down & hopefully correct a lot of bad habits I picked up over the years. I look forward to joining the group. From what I’ve read so far it seems to be a friendly place.
Regards
