My First Time Playing my Kit Left-Handed (It Goes About As Well As You'd Expect)
The other day I was watching live concert clips on YouTube and I saw Zak Starkey drumming for the Who, playing a left-handed set-up. That got me thinking - could I reverse my kit and actually manage to play along to a tune, first time out? The answer won't surprise you at all!
