    1) Walking into a music store and knowing what you buy, whether some music, a magazine or even a big ticket item like a new instrument.....your job allows those as tax deductions.

    2) Whilst everyone else is fuming and stuck in peak hour traffic, you can rest easy knowing that at least half of your road journeys are at off-peak times.

    3) Although you might have worked on the weekend gigging, whilst other people had that time off......you can hit the snooze on your alarm on Monday mornings whilst everyone else is grumbling about going to work.

    The greatest part of being a musician is:

    Doing something others wish they could.
    It's a great way to relax when you're stressed.
    As has already been said, it's a great way to put a smile on the face of those who listen.
    Being able to fuse emotional content to the spoken word.

    For me, the best part is the creative energy first in the compostion and its evolution...........second in the studio and then finally in the live stage presentation..........love them all...........true components of the art form.

    Whether you are a novice or a seasoned pro, there is a level of creativity that can be reached and provides satisfaction...........until the next time.

    I am a beginner here, so it's hard for me to consider myself a drummer let alone a musician. But for me it is like riding offroad motorcycles or flying airplanes, which I am very experienced. When I am doing it I get into a zone where time almost stands still and there is only the feel and exhilaration of what is happening in the moment. And you get into that groove even with offroad riding or flying.

    Short answer: the feeling and exhilaration of being in the moment.

    The best part of being a musician is getting payed to do something you love. Can't think of many things better than that.

    with me,,,,, ive always worked well on a team, football in school, hockey most of my life, im a chef with a culinary "team" and i look at the band that im in as a team. its a team of people that work together to reach a goal, but the part i love the most about being a musician is looking at a full dancefloor (im talking ,, the floor shaking to the beat dancing) and knowing that all those people are totally enjoying themselves because of what im laying down ,,,, it gets no better than that , in my world....

    At least for me, because I'm still in school, is the competition of becoming better musicians and impressing girls.

    Well, being a DRUMMER... being better than guitar players. In every way.

    For me, it gives me something to really pour my heart and soul into.

    The best part about being a musician is playing music.

    Another upside is that you don't have to pay fees to enter the venue. I've seen some incredible bands because my band opened for them. LORD, Damnations Day, Alestorm, In Dread Response and Sinate being some of the awesome bands I got to see for free :P

    Whether I have a good day, bad day, sad day, or happy day, I can always turn to my drums to reset myself at the end of the day.

    this is a good one

    also it's a good excuse to be able to get together and hand with your friends on a regular basis... the hang and the drive is usually as good as the gig for me.

    Being a drummer is the greatest thing in the world.

    The best thing about being a musician is probably based on how you are doing at the time.

    If you are in a working band, then it's great.

    If you are with some people that can't get their **** together, then it's not so much fun.
