"Who doesn’t love a drum solo? It’s always the highlight of the show. Drums have got to be one of the coolest instruments both to play, and listen to. But more importantly, the drums are the heart of the band. The drummer is the one who sets the beat for the rest of the musicians to follow ..."
It would seem that drums are easy to play. After all, anybody can pick up a pair of sticks and start banging on them. But once you begin to take lessons and practice you’ll soon find that they
are one of the most difficult instruments to master. It takes a great deal of coordination to play the drums well. Each arm and leg is doing something different at the same time and it’s not easy
to have all four limbs going at once, all the while keeping good time.
If you’ve been considering taking up the drums as your instrument of choice there are a few things you need to know beforehand.
• Drums can be very expensive. Yes, there are some kits out there that are very cheap but the old adage holds true here too: you get what you pay for.
• They take up a lot of room.
• They’re very loud
• They’re fun, fun, fun. So if you can deal with the rest; go for it!
