how's about this. when I was twelve, I was an established lefty in all aspects of life. my guitar teacher, the wise lady that she was, decided I needed to learn to play right handed. I objected at first but, after seeing how it wasn't brain surgery either way, I stuck with it. The good part is, fourteen years later, I can play nearly anyone's guitar on the spot. The sad part is I still can't play a lick left handed.

I want to be special again!@!!
Ok, now here's where I get to how this applies to you. I took drum lessons from my band's drummer so we could do rotation jams (I know, so nineties...) and, again, the world forced me to learn right handed because the drummer didn't want to switch everything around for me. This time, knowing it wasn't so scary, I jumped in and can play basic two four beats fine.
The moral of the story; it's worth the sacrifice to learn to play right handed. It will give your playing different handicaps than most drummers but might afford you interesting strengths most righties can't achieve. Good anecdote; Everyone has to play piano with the low keys on the left. We can't change that. Well, George Gershwin was a lefty and wrote some of the most revered, interesting pieces in modern American music precisely because he HAD to approach the instrument differently. he had bass notes in his left hand where most people clunked out chords and his stupid hand was supposed to be doing all the nifty melodic runs. All he did was revolutionize Jazz and influence just about everyone we listen to in this country today.
Okay, if that's not the pep talk of all time, I don't know what I can tell you. Sally forth, my fellow lefty and innovate!
