Hats off to you for putting yourself out there in the first place, takes some balls. At least they seemed to like you anyway, I'd be happy enough being let down like that.
Shame, but don’t let it put you off, there are plenty of bands looking for a drummer.
You might want to buy an acoustic kit & cymbals, even if you don’t use them for practicing; some bands have a ‘thing’ about e-kits 🙁
At least they bothered to contact you, many don’t

There are cheaper cymbal sets but these are very nice for the money: https://www.drumshop.co.uk/collections/cymbal-box-sets/products/istanbul-mehmet-radiant-box-set
...slight hijack. I just watched Whiplash on Netflix, that was fairly intense!
But of all of the drumming movies I’ve ever watched that’s got to be right up there in my top-one.
I tried watching Whiplash.
I guess i’m A ‘doer’ rather than a ‘watcher’, i’m like that with cycling too, can’t stand watching it
I met Mrs P when we were both in a band similar to the one in whiplash, just much smaller scale but watching it for us both was really uncomfortable. It was so intense, it brought back all of the stress. Horrible.
Great film though
