Привет, Рой! жаль, что твои родители заставляют тебя. Попробуй, может быть тебе понравится играть на скрипке. Я бы хотел(а) научиться играть на барабанах, но у меня к сожалению нет на это времени. Я не расстраиваюсь так как родители купили мне простую барабанную установку и почти каждую ночь я тренируюсь на ней.Я обожаю Бадди Рич, он великолепен. у него шикарная техника игры на барабанах и хорошо известные перфомансы. его скорость и гладкое исполнение, стало стандартом в игре на барабанах. Один из его трюков - пересекающиеся движения рук во время барабанной дроби. всегда хотел(а) так научиться.В основном гуляю с друзьями или провожу время с семьей, еще мне нравится смотреть музыкальные концерты, конкретно наблюдать за людьми, которые играют на барабанах. порой мне кажется, что барабанщики - мастера своего дела и никогда  не ошибаются.Теперь жду новостей от тебя, Рой. Пока.

I am not upset because my parents bought me a simple drum kit and almost every night I train on it.I love buddy rich, he's gorgeous. he's got a great technique of drumming and well-known performances. its speed and smooth performance have become the standard in drumming. One of his tricks is the overlapping hand movements during the drum roll. always wanted to (and) so learn to.Basically, I walk with friends or spend time with my family, I also like to watch music concerts, specifically watch the people who play drums. sometimes I think drummers - masters of their craft and are never wrong.I'm waiting to hear from you now, Roy. Bye.
