I’ve always been a girl who adores drums but never had the chance to learn because

a) My dad thinks/wished I should be more feminine – so I was ‘forced’ to learn the Guzheng instead

b) Never had the chance to because not many schools offer drumming lessons – especially when I was from a girl’s school and the only set of drums is for the school’s concert band.

c) Drum sets were too expensive back then as a ‘hobby’ and it’s too noisy to keep at home – my mom would probably keep the drum set and throw me out..or hopefully the other way round.

When I first had the chance to fiddle around with the drums was in polytechnic while the boys had their jamming sessions. Sadly, I didn’t manage to find that passion or time to learn drums proper but I certainly still love drums (and drummers) alot.

So here’s Cobus Potgieter with one of my favourite song in Kelly Clarkson’s album ‘All I Ever Wanted’ – ” My Life Would Suck Without You”. Looks alil crazy but totally cool stuff I say ! Try to stay on beyond the 2 mins point !

I thought he put in quite abit effort to edit his videos at least, if you’re not a fan of drums. If all else fails, Kelly Clarkson is singing ? Hur.

My Life Would Suck Without You

Guess this means you’re sorry
You’re standing at my door
Guess this means you take back
All you said before
Like how much you wanted
Anyone but me
Said you’d never come back
But here you are again

‘Cause we belong together now, yeah
Forever united here somehow, yeah
You got a piece of me
And honestly,
My life (my life) would suck (would suck) without you

Maybe I was stupid for telling you goodbye
Maybe I was wrong for tryin’ to pick a fight
I know that I’ve got issues
But you’re pretty messed up too
Either way, I found out I’m nothing without you

‘Cause we belong together now, yeah
Forever united here somehow, yeah
You got a piece of me
And honestly,
My life (my life) would suck (would suck) without you

Being with you
Is so disfunctional
I really shouldn’t miss you
But I can’t let you go
Oh yeah

‘Cause we belong together now, yeah
Forever united here somehow, yeah
You got a piece of me
And honestly,
My life (my life) would suck (would suck) without you
