sandy learns to play the drums

smp learns to play the drums.
one day sandy was walking around town when she heard a live band playing. she had heard live music and decided to check it out. she walked up close to the stage and witnessed something that would change her forever.
sandy watched as the drummer preformed a talent showcasing drum solo that included slow rhythms and fast, he began slowly and gradually sped up his rhythms. his arms were flying in all directions as he seemed to leave no drum or cymbal unscathed.

his solo lasted under 5 minutes and the first thought in sandy’s mind was. I want to do that

she got on her bike and sped home to check her piggy bank
she smashed her porcelain piggy bank like a crash cymbal, change and dollar bills went flying all over sandy’s bed, she feverishly began counting and even tried counting in a rhythm out-loud.

after all the money have been counted sandy had 250 dollars. she ran to her mom and said mom will you drive me to the music store i want to buy a drum set, mrs potatoes was surprised but willfully agreed.

at the shop sandy bolted out of the car and into the music store, she had one thing on her mind. beats, she had moved so fast into the store she didn’t even see the children’s drum set in the window. it was just her size and happened to be her favorite color, purple

mrs p and the shop owner laughed about sandy’s blinding excitement but the store owners face looked quite puzzled when sandy ran up the the counter and innocently placed 250 cash on the counter

wow kid you are our youngest customer to ever pay that much in cash.

yeah well i know what i want and what i want is to bang some tubs.

the store owner helped put sandy’s awesome new drum set in the car. the rattle of the snare drum strings hummed the whole way home

when they arrived home sandy started unloading her new drum set and taking it up stairs to her room, in all of her spastic excitement she had forgotten about clearing a place to put it, still sandy was determined to have her drum set

she eventually gathered the whole kit piece by piece and began to process of rearranging her room. she moved her bed to the window and her desk next to her bed. voila a nice open area to make some noise.

sandy arranged her kit to her comfort and instantly began bashing away. she didn’t quite have rhythm but boy does she hit hard. downstairs mr and mrs potatoes were looking at each other mrs potatoes jokingly said what have we done!?

they both smiled. just above them sandy was getting used to all the different things you have to focus on, but regardless of how she sounded, sandy mashed potatoes had found something she enjoyed
