they reach their teens the music sounds exceptionally good most youngsters usually start on the piano or the violin most youngsters are usually urg ed on by their parents not john meydam the 14 year old manitoba street youth was not urged by his parents nor did he begin practising before he could walk and finally his selection of instruments differed slightly from the ordinary group two years ago john heard the beatle beat and wanted to play it in the last two years he has accom plished as much if not more than most youngsters could do in ten his selection of instruments the drums came after he had listened to this new beat for several weeks it was a case of anything ringo can do i can do john started on a practise pad for two reasons first the pad requires more wrist motion than the actual drum and secondly if he discovered he didnt like his choice the cost would be nil the latter he found out was a precaution against something that never hap pened john loved the drums he loved learning and now he loves playing he is a member of a band known as dr jekyll and the hydes and plays regularly at assorted dances and par ties snare drum first since first taking an interest in the percussion instrument john has built his set from scratch his first drum was a snare and from that he has added a 10 inch symbol a base drum and has a tomtom on order john who was born in england came to canada in 1957 and after two months in toronto moved to stouff ville he is presently in grade 10 at stouffville dis trict high school and plays in the high school orchestra he is also the only member of the five piece band from stouffville the remaining boys reside in uxbridge most of their jobs are in uxbridge johns group is only one of an almost un believable 5000 that are organized today in southern ontario reads music john can read drum jnc an art in itself he takes lessons from wally lee in kingwood prior to taking up the drums john had little interest in music his tastes are wide and varied but of all types of sounds he likes jazz the best although he admits uj ihe hardest to play his favourite drummer is cosy cole and he said that he saw the gene krupa story five times the biggest problem according to john is the cost a drummer can pay up to 00 for a snare alone not to mention the rest of the equipment johns 10 inch symbol bore a price tag of 53 besides the drums he has five sets of tcr and a set of brushes john prefers a thicker stick around an 8a brand much to the dismay of parents john predicts that todays music will be around for some time to come he says that the groups are go ing strong and getting better the long hairdos and the viij clothes although thcy dont affect the music are ail part of the act john himself however does not go in for the added attractions he is a blond lian cut well mannered youth who wants to play the drums without the siaeshow benefits school first its too soon to know what the future has in store for john meydam but its eer ie that hell hae an edu cation before lie ventures into it i want to get my grade 13 before i think about any thing else john stated hes not sure what he will go through for following high school graduation but he is considering the mus ical field for youngsters interested in beginning a musical career john has a few words of advice try it and see you could be talented and never know it to that john warned its not the drums that make the drummer its the drummer that makes the drums if youre young old or in between and you like to days music played by to days youth you can heat- john and
