Follow in my dad's footsteps?

I'm currently 14 years old, at the end of 8th grade in middle school. I love band, myself being in percussion. I love to make beats on different instruments, it's like my brain is hard wired for rhythms. I always play the auxiliary or snare parts, never the mallet, timpani or any other instrument that uses notes. That never came naturally to me, I always liked the line of notes, it's easier to understand, but I always wanted to learn the marimba, the xylophone, the mallet instruments. Earlier on in the year, my dad found out that the high school marching band was short a couple people, including some in the battery/front ensemble category. My dad signed me up without asking me, putting me on the front ensemble, on the MALLET INSTRUMENTS. Now, I didn't like it at all, so the band director asked me to try snare instead, so I gladly did. Something clicked. I knew this was the instrument I was born to play in marching band. I continued on throughout the marching year, playing and having a great year, and then I proceeded to join the indoor drum line, and had a blast. Now, my dad is a musician. He plays drums and piano in big hotels and fancy lounges. He's also the pianist for my church. He got his degree in percussion in college and stuff, he's pretty beast. Now, albeit he doesn't make a whole ton of money, he still makes more then a dude sitting in an office does, he goes to a 2 hour gig and gets $200! Better still, he doesn't work at a dead end job that he hates, he loves doing what he does. Now just recently, he got out these tapes. It was his junior and senior performance at his college that he had to do to graduate. I watched it, and it blew my mind. He was doing 2 mallets in each hand on the marimba, and doing a bunch of mind boggling stuff on everyday objects, not to mention drums and congas. He was one of the best marimba players in the country, in 1988. He was absolutely amazing. He wants to teach me how to play the drums better so I can do gigs with him. I've always been really shy when he wants to do it, though. I always feel like i'll always be inferior to him, and i'll never be as good or even half as good as him, and he'll be disappointed. I also always had an interest in computers. I open them up, unplug things, take things out, put things in, upgrade my hardware, all this stuff. I always wanted to make a career out of computers, but music just seems to be my thing. What do I do?
