Hey, I started to learn the drums after my son decided he didn't want to play them anymore and I was older than you. Now, I am playing gigs with an all-female band and the best part is our lead guitarist is my daughter.
I too thought I may have been too old to start learning an instrument...but I'm so glad I continued on. The support I receive from younger and older musicians is well worth the effort I put in, and being apart of the 'music community' is a ton of fun.
Continue on and enjoy every moment of it. :-)
