"BAMBAMBAM Drumming BAMBAMBAMBAM"

I've always wanted to play the drums. So in a bizarre turn of events, I've decided to, like, do what I want to do, and learn to play.

Any advice?

Drums, CB Drums CB Beginners Drum Kit... cheap... realising how much of a no idea I really have.

£250-£300 is about right... don't want anything too expensive, just a decent set that I can put... there. *points*

Obviously I'll have to move the bookshelf, but you probably knew that.

I won't give up on guitar and sax, but hell, I've wanted to play drums for so damn long. Guitar's great for just being relaxed and picking/strumming, sax is great for when I'm feeling a bit manic, and I guess drums would be too.

I wouldn't be playing at the moment though, my head is pounding... urgh...

Just gotta convince parents that it's a necessary purchase. Or just set them up, start playing, and let them find out for themselves I'm learning the drums.

Guess I need some room in here too.

I got a starter kit not too long ago, cost me £250
However, if you look around, you'll usually find kits for about £350-£450
Important though you make sure it comes with cymbals and hi-hats because some kits don't.
What is your budget anyway?

Get one.
Here's mine:

Just add a bunch more cymbals, another floor tom and mounted bongos above the hi-hat.
Drums rule

I'd love a drum kit to play around with, much as I find guitar is good for stress relief, I can't help but feel that beating the crap out of something and making a satisfying noise would be significantly better :D

Only know one person with one, and they live well out of town, so it's not something I can just have a crack at occasionally. I'm also still getting over my whole fear of people laughing at me for sucking so badly - only played on a stage once, and that went ok, so I think I'm getting better, realisation that it really doesn't matter if they do.. No way I can justify buying my own, hard enough saving for a new guitar as it is, but I'm determined to find some somewhere.

G'won Grix, buy it by the end of july so I can have a thrash ;) Do a soundtrack for the movie.

I love playing drums - I'm quite proficient and can rock like a bad-ass mofo when I'm in the mood for it. Haven't got my own drumkit yet - plan to when I set up my studio in my house when I finish my degree. Guitar will always be my first instrument though.

Meexcellent :D

Now buy it together with the 'copter so you can fly over here and practise with us, not taking my amp to bloody Wales on the train =P

Seriously, excellent, enjoy - but don't ignore that guitar completely.

Good for you. My mate just started playing. Loves it. And look your music thread made it to 10000!

I don't have much idea but these might give you some quick help?
