"Drumming."

Right, People, I need your honest opinion and help on some matters that have arose over the past few days. A few mates of mine want to start a band and they want a drummer, They have 2 guitarists, one bassist and 3 vocalists at the moment.

They asked me if I wanted to be the drummer. Except I don't know how to play the drums, but i'd just love to be in a band. You reckon it's worth investing my time and money into learning the instrument? Yes I know it isn't going to be easy, but the prospect of jamming with a few mates is quite exciting.

I currently play the guitar, but I seriously wouldn't mind having the knowledge of drum playing and it'd be cool to just let yourself go wild on them.

So anyway, I'm wondering if any drummers out there could share their experiances of playing, and I'd be extremely grateful if anyone could reccomend me any good "beginners" drum kits, that are within a reasonable price range.

Thanks.

What kit do you have?

Go down to a local music store and check their board thingy where poeple put up ads. Tis how i found my drum teacher (look for adverts in newspapers too). As for a drum kit, if you really do want to play the drums in a band, i'd go for a decent kit to start off with, as once you get good enough, you will want a good one, and if you are planning on being dedicated then i'd recommend a getting a good one. I'd recommend drum kits, but yeah. I can't be arsed.

Gah, my college is useless.

"Hello, i'd like the number of the Drum tutor here please"
"Guitar tutor? Yeah sure"
"....No, DRUM tutor"
"Oh, I have no idea"

Looks like i'll have to make a few phonecalls tomorow.

The address I pick cheques up from I have as a decoy. When you try and open the door the mat blows up.

Buy a T shirt to find it out.

Er, Yeah.

I'll just go over there now, Seeing as I know his address and everything

Grix's. Just show up at his house.

Hmmm, I suppose, Could anyone reccomend me any drumkits for learning/practising on?

If you want to do it, you should do it. :)

I think I should, I'm going to check out drum tutoring tomorow.

Thanks for the help though guys.
