I guess that's kind of how I feel about drums and percussion, which have
been a strong interest of mine since I was a kid (but my parents forced
me to take piano lessons, even though I wanted to learn to play a drum
set). If I let embarrassment at the results prevent me from trying, I'll
never get better. Fortunately, every tiny step along the way has its own
value, reward, and provides a sense of fulfillment.

I would love to try that again, Thorsten. I'm a bit worried that I might
not be able to come up with some good harmonic/melodic elements to add,
but I would love to attempt it. Same goes for anyone else: if you love
to create drum/percussion tracks (audio, general MIDI, Hydrogen files,
for example) and wouldn't mind seeing what another musician might be
able to do with it, then please send the file my way, and thanks.
