So, I'm a musician and I recently had a really gratifying situation
Great, what happend?
I was playing drums with my friend's dad! He's really well versed.
Cool, I never played the drums. My band teacher in middle school tried to discourage playing the drums cause there are no notes!
THERE ARE NOTES. But what really left an impression was that he was pleased with my amateurish ability. (You should absolutely pick up drums they're so much fun and a great aerobic exercise)
