Kasim has been playing drums since he was a child. His talent for playing was almost inherited. He had the great privilege of having his father as his mentor. His father was a great drummer in a famous band in Buskeria, so he had a wealth of knowledge that he constantly shared with Kasim. As is almost inevitable, he absorbed all that knowledge and transformed it into skill and great talent. His father was proud of him because he saw that his legacy was almost assured for the near future.
To further prepare Kasim, his parents sent him to a prestigious private music school. There, they would further refine his skills and teach him the best to become a good drummer. But it was precisely at that school where everything would begin; some might say his development as a musician, but others would clearly say his torment. Before entering the music school, he had grown up alone, without many friends. Sure, he had friends in elementary school, but the music school was superior.
Kasim lleva tocando la batería desde niño. Su talento para tocar fue casi heredado. Tuvo el gran privilegio de poder tener a su padre como su mentor. Su padre era un gran baterista en una banda famosa de Buskeria, así que tenía mucho conocimiento que compartía constantemente con Kasim. Como es casi natural el absorbió todo ese conocimiento y lo transformó en habilidad y mucho talento. Su padre estaba orgulloso del porque veía que su legado estaba casi seguro en el futuro cercano.
Para preparar aún mejor a Kasim sus padres lo mandaron a una escuela privada prestigiosa de música. En ella terminarían de pulir sus habilidades y le enseñarían lo mejor para poder ser un buen baterista. Pero fue justo en esa escuela donde todo comenzaría, alguno podrían decir que su desarrollo como músico pero otros dirían claramente que su tormento. Antes de entrar a la escuela de música el se había criado solo. Sin muchos amigos. Claro tuvo amigos en la escuela primaria, pero la escuela de música era superior.
Because he didn't grow up surrounded by many people and didn't have many friends, he couldn't develop socially as well as other children his age. At home, he was a star, but when he started school, this affected him greatly, and that star faded. Being alone and without friends made him a quiet boy who avoided standing out. He didn't like to draw attention to himself in anything, and even less so to be the center of attention in music class. From then on, he also became a very nervous and distrustful boy. Because of all this, the initial performance he had shown at home gradually diminished.
At school, he avoided showing his talent to avoid stares. And he didn't ask questions he had. So, the teachers always had to keep urging him to motivate him to continue. As a result, they formed a negative perception of him and thought he wasn't very musically skilled because he didn't show it. He managed to graduate with great difficulty, but he didn't achieve the gold medal he could easily have earned if he had wanted to. This disappointed his father but didn't bother him because he knew it wasn't something that could be solved by shouting.
Como no se crió con muchas personas a su alrededor y como no tenía muchos amigos no se pudo desarrollar socialmente bien como los demás niños de su edad. En la casa era un estrella, pero cuando llegó a al escuela esto le afectó mucho y esa estrella se apagó. El haber estado solo y sin amigos lo hizo convertirse en un chico callado y que evitaba sobresalir. No le gustaba llamar la atención en nada y menos aún ser el centro de atención en las clases de música. También a partir de ahí se volvió un chico muy nervioso y desconfiado. A causa de todo esto el rendimiento inicial que tenía y había demostrado en casa se diluyó poco a poco.
En la escuela evitaba demostrar su talento para evitar las miradas. Y no preguntaba las dudas que tenía. Así que los profesores siempre tenían que estar requiriéndolo para motivarlo a continuar. Como resultado se hicieron una mala percepción de el y pensaron que era un chico que no tenía muchas habilidades en la música porque no lo daba a demostrar. Pudo graduarse con mucha dificultad, pero no alcanzó el titulo de oro que fácilmente hubiera ganado si hubiera querido. Esto decepcionó a su padre pero no lo molestó porque sabía que no era algo que se pudiera solucionar gritando.
After graduation, Kasim was never the same. He became even more withdrawn. And he was terrified of music, especially the idea of playing for others while they watched him. He imagined people criticizing his playing or saying he played badly. Which wasn't true, but he let those thoughts creep into his mind. As a result, he rejected countless opportunities in his youth. He could have joined several bands, but he refused. "A drummer who can't play in public"—that was the taunt he endured every time he turned down a good opportunity. And that only worsened the problem he was already carrying.
And everything would have continued like this indefinitely if his parents hadn't taken the necessary steps. They desperately wanted to help him. They wanted to see him succeed, and they wanted what was best for him. But to pull him out of that state, they had to show him that playing music wasn't as bad as he thought. He just had to try it once to experience what it felt like. So they devised a plan. The father planned a concert that would be very important for him and his own career. If he missed the concert, he could be fired. That way, Kasim would understand the urgency of attending.
Kasim a partir de la graduación no fue el mismo. Se volvió aún más retraído. Y le aterraba la música en el sentido de tocar para otros mientras lo veían tocar. El se imaginaba la gente criticándolo por su forma de tocar o diciendo que tocaba mal. Cosa que no era verdad pero el se hacia esas ideas en la mente. Como consecuencia rechazó en su juventud multitud de oportunidades, podía haberse unido a varias bandas pero no aceptaba. Un baterista que no puede tocar en público, esas fueron las burlas que se ganaba cada vez que rechazaba una buena oportunidad. Y eso empeoraba aún más el problema que ya cargaba en sus espaldas.
Y todo hubiera seguido así hasta el infinito y más allá si sus padres no hubieran tomando las medidas que tomaron. Ellos querían ayudarlo mucho. Querían verlo triunfar, y querían su bien. Pero para sacarlo de ese estado tenían que demostrarle que tocar no era tan malo como él pensaba. Solo tenía que intentarlo una vez para que experimentara lo que se siente. Así que ellos idearon un plan. El padre planeo un concierto de tal forma que fuera muy importante para el y su carrera propia. Si faltaba al concierto podría ser despedido. De esa forma Kasim podría ver la urgencia de ir al concierto.
The day before, his father pretended to be very sick and unable to attend the concert, fearing he'd be fired if he didn't go. So he asked Kasim to help him, to do it for him. Kasim loved his father dearly and wasn't about to let him be fired. He mustered his courage and stepped in as the substitute drummer. Driven by his desire to help his father, he overcame his fear and gave it his all on stage. He proved to everyone, including his father, that he could do it.
That day marked the end of his cycle of terror, because from then on, he started playing occasionally, then more regularly, and eventually became a drummer. The secret of what his father did will always remain just that, a secret. For his own good. Sometimes all it takes is a little push to show you that you can do it.
Pues el día antes el padre se hizo pasar porque estaba muy enfermo y que no podía ir al concierto y no iba al mismo podía ser despedido. Así que le pidió a Kasim que lo ayudara, que lo hiciera por él. Kasim quería mucho a su padre así que no iba a dejar que lo despidieran así que se llenó de valor y se presentó como el baterista sustituto. Como tenía el deseo de ayudar a su padre no pensó tanto en el miedo, así que lo dio todo sobre el escenario. Y demostró a todos y al mismo que si podía hacerlo.
Ese día fue quien terminó con su siclo de terror, porque a partir de ahí comenzó a tocar de vez en cuando y luego de forma más seguida y finalmente llegó a ser baterista. El secreto de lo que hizo su padre será siempre eso, un secreto. Por su bien. A veces solo hace falta un empujón para que veas que si puedes.
Don't miss the opportunity to become a Rising Star.
