Drum covers, music practice, rants, thoughts, feelings and overall shenanigans about being an unorthodox mom who just loves to play... “GIVE IT UP, KID. TAKE IT BACK WHERE YOU FOUND IT.” That’s what many people told Kat when she bought her first drum set at the age of 17. Barreling through the negativity, Kat picked up a pair of old, splintered drum sticks, and hasn’t put them down since. Through blind discipline and positive reinforcement from key family members, she persevered and practiced relentlessly. She even sacrificed her dresser in her bed room and replaced it with a DW Chameleon drum set, placing towels on the cymbals so she wouldn’t wake up her older sister (that didn’t work very well). As Kat progressed, she performed with many local groups, where the musical styles ranged from Punk Rock to Latin Jazz to Jam Band music. “Why are you playing with these guys?…” she would often be asked. “Because I’ve never played this style before and I want to learn,” she would say.
