It happened to me. I started with trombone. Moving to drums was the best thing I've ever done. It is never too late I guess

Same for me. I've been playing drums for over 13 years. And progressive bands are the most enjoyable music to play for me. Those time changes and polyrhythms seem complex when you first listen to them. But once I get it, it gets stuck in my brain. You can hear new details you never appreciated before.

I love meshuggah. And they play most of the times two songs with different time signatures. The drummer is playing both of them at the same time, bottom half playing along with the bass and top half with rhythm guitars.
