nice touch, do you have a kit?

no, but my mate has an electronic one
and we have a kit for the band. Most of my guitar gear is stored at the same place as the drums, so I will be able to practice reasonably regularly.

The main thing I need to get over is being able to keep my legs doing stuff when my arms are doing stuff.

It took me a week to get independence on my arms then about a month to be comfortable
with one leg. After 6 months all four of my limbs could work independently and then you stop thinking about it. You can keep practising whilst at work so do that too.

that's encouraging
my mate is also a really quite good guitarist, so will be nice for us to swap within the band so he can play guitar some.

He advised me to practice stomping and beating the drum beat to Alright Now to help me.

noted
thanks

I'm quite excited about it. My experience on Thursday was by far the most capable I have been on drums.

If you're just sitting at a desk
Try tapping your left foot regularly in 4/4 and drumming along on the desk in different rhythms while keeping the foot going.
