Is it possible to learn the drums at 48?

[Disturber]

My kid Ivan started playing the drums in September. I bought him a Roland TD-1K set. He loves going to drum class every monday, but yet haven't started bashing a way that much at home.

I however love to sit for an hour or two with headphones on, playing away on the electronic set. I have watched some youtube clips for beginners, but haven't really had time to make up a plan for how I could learn to get better at this for real.

So, any drummers here that could give me some advice on how to become a self taught drummer? Is it to late for a 48 year old man? I don't have a beer gut yet, so that might be a plus.

That's not true. I knew everything when I was still a teenager.

My statement had been meant a command!

I still stand by my statement, how can a teenager still learn, when he knows it all.

It's never too late to find new ways to piss off the neighbors.

I'm playing drums as often as I have time. I've recently moved to a new house, so the kit has been stored away, but I will set it up any day.

Also plan to practice more skateboarding. This guy learned it when he was in his 60's. Such an inspiration:
