× Yeah, I don't want to exaggerate myself, but I feel I am pretty good at playing just drum and I feel very confident when I was playing with a beat and yeah.
✓ Yeah, I don't want to exaggerate myself, but I feel I am pretty good at playing just drums and I feel very confident when I play with a beat and yeah.
The phrase 'when I was playing' should be in the present tense 'when I play' to match the present context of feeling confident. Also, 'drum' should be plural 'drums' because it refers to the instrument generally, which is countable and usually plural in this context.
× Oh I played just drums since I was in grade 6 because at that time I felt I'm not really good at playing piano, but instead I find I found I'm playing drums is so cool and I just want to learn it.
✓ Oh I have played just drums since I was in grade 6 because at that time I felt I wasn't really good at playing piano, but instead I found playing drums was so cool and I just wanted to learn it.
The sentence mixes past and present tenses incorrectly. 'Played' should be present perfect 'have played' to indicate an action continuing from past to present. 'I'm not really good' should be past tense 'I wasn't really good' to match 'at that time'. 'I find I found' is redundant; 'I found' is correct. 'I'm playing drums is so cool' is incorrect; it should be 'playing drums was so cool' to maintain past tense. 'I just want' should be 'I just wanted' to keep past tense consistent.
× So I started to play it since then.
✓ So I have been playing it since then.
The phrase 'started to play it since then' is incorrect because 'since then' requires present perfect or present perfect continuous tense to indicate an action continuing from the past to present. 'I have been playing it since then' correctly expresses this.
× While I'm pretty confident with me playing drums, I still have a really long progress to be a professional drummers and I won't seem it as my occupation choice and I would rather just see it as my interest.
✓ While I'm pretty confident with my playing drums, I still have a really long way to go to be a professional drummer and I don't see it as my occupation choice and I would rather just see it as my interest.
'A really long progress' is incorrect; 'progress' is uncountable and should be 'a really long way to go'. 'Professional drummers' should be singular 'professional drummer' to match 'a'. 'I won't seem it' is incorrect; it should be 'I don't see it' to express current opinion. 'With me playing drums' should be 'with my playing drums' to use the correct possessive form.
× Uh no, I am the only one who plays during my family but my brother also play instruments.
✓ Uh no, I am the only one who plays in my family but my brother also plays instruments.
'During my family' is incorrect preposition; it should be 'in my family'. 'My brother also play' is incorrect subject-verb agreement; it should be 'my brother also plays' because 'brother' is singular.
× Umm he played guitar and sometimes we would we sometimes we work together to like playing the same song.
✓ Umm he plays guitar and sometimes we work together to play the same song.
The sentence has redundant and incorrect phrases 'we would we sometimes we work'. It should be simplified to 'sometimes we work together'. Also, 'played' should be 'plays' to indicate habitual action. 'To like playing' is incorrect; it should be 'to play' to express purpose.
