Things you'll never hear a drummer say:

[BlinkPlusAngels]

yeah my friend is always like you think its so hard to play the drums try playing the guitar but i always tell him try playing 5 guitars at once he never gets it but i'm trying to say i have a 5 piece set not 1 guitar

plus you got some cymbals too

[Utopia]

yeah....ppl don't realize what a chalenge it is to get all four limbs doing something diff....

[BlinkPlusAngels]

yeah my friends who have tried playing some songs that i like playing are like man this is hard

[Trane Weck]

All instruments are hard...Each & every instrument has its relative degree of difficulty to master & be really good at [musically rounded in general]. However, i would say that drums are the most physical of all of them, making them a tad more challenging in general perhaps...except for a frontman/woman who is running all over the place, but that usually requires a huge stage on a larger tour, & quite possibly a sizable contract...

[fatty3392]

you reckon a 5 peice is hard try playing gran collins kit

[cooljosh9065]

" i wonder if we can save space in the van if we dont use the cowbell, taboruine, wood block, roto toms, or triangle"

COWBELL...I need more COWBELL !!!!

[bongobro]

"Sorry, dudes, I can't play my congas because there's been a power failure."

[Pearl6565]

this isnt really on topic but a lot of my friends think that drumming is the easiest instrument to play anyone ever told you that because my personal opinion is that drums are the hardest

i play drums, guitar, bass, and keyboards...the way i see it, the easiest by far is bass...guitar and drums are about equal, because with drums its extremely hard to get going at first, because many people give up within the first few months, after that rhythms become easier, and eventually (if your like me) new beats become easier and easier to play........what ive found with guitar is that its a constant and steady build, so you dont have to be as determined when you start out, but at the same time, it stays just as hard for most of the time you play..........in the end i would say that drums are a bit tougher, simply because its the only instrument that requires not only menatl, but physical strength

wow...i went into much more depth than i was planning on....

I've found that "easier" is almost never "better" ...easy sucks. Always go with your passion.

"Oh, great--broke another drumhead during the second set!"

[bongobro]

"Hey, bro', I need to borrow a cable for my amp..."

Or:

"Aw MAN! Do I HAFTA play 'In-a-Gadda-da-Vida' AGAIN?"

[Timer]

I was watching an Info commercial about learning keyboards and the guy promoting his product came right out and said that Drumming was the easiest instrument to learn. What does a piano playing salesman know about what it takes to play rudiments correctly on just one drum and then spread it throw out your body to play that same rudiment backwards and forward on a drum set. What a crook of Crap. Anyone else see that Commercial? I'm 49 and there are younger guys and gals out there that are fantastic musicians.I still don't twirl my sticks. I don't see the reason to learn and don't have the time to learn. I hold my own and have been playing since I was 7 with over 25+ yrs. professionally. I still wish that I could play some of the riffs that I hear these younger musicians play. Some people are naturals. Drumming is not easy, you have to practice,practice,practice. "But I'll tell you nothing beats the feeling when you look out in the crowd and see even if it's just one person tapping there foot or moving to the rhythm of the music that your playing and know that at that moment in time, that person isn't worried about paying his bills or any of the problems that we all may have on a daily basis. At that moment YOU AND YOUR BAND ARE A SUCCESS. And that's what playing music is about. That is your reason for livin". Happy Riffin' Guys and Gals

[1DrumBum]

[bongobro]

"Look at all those people drumming on the tables--why aren't they tryin' to copy the guitar solos?"

[Timer]
