It's Never to late to start learning an instrument.
i started playin drums when i was in 5th grade (not sure how old i was LOL)
and now im 21, so i'v been drummin for a long time. ( i never had lessons for drumming either, im self taught)
And i also since, been singing for 6 years now.
And i picked up a bass yesterday and naturally picked up a simple Jazz piece for bass.
