Why do people learn drums? It's such a side character-coded instrument.
Sometimes you don't have musical talent but still want to have fun making music with the bros
>>131637621>Have to carry a bunch of shit around>Expensive >Wrecks your body>No one wants to hear you solo>People want to kill you for practicingDrums are some kind of sick joke
>>131637658>>No one wants to hear you solo>>People want to kill you for practicingWho gives a fuck what "people" want
>>131637621Because they can't sing but still want to have sex.
>>131637621There's plenty of drummers with main character energy, Bonham, Ringo, Grohl, the list goes onAlthough to be fair, most drummers either aren't in rock bands or they are out of necessity because they're easy gigs. Most drummers are part of ensembles like Marching Bands or Drumline, in other words they aren't in it to be a frontman, they'd prefer the be part of a larger ensemble

>>131637621the most primitive simian musical instinct is rhythm
>>131637621kinda off topic but this really doesn't need it's own thread.I'm considering selling my guitar and switching to drums. It feels way easier than guitar and it seem like i have a knack for it. I haven't touched my guitar in 6 month, I can barely look at it without shame. its stained by failure and I need a fresh start. Is this stupid?
>>131637877you can't be a singer-songwriter as a mere drummerit's easily the least independent instrument
>>131637621Play spoons instead.https://youtube.com/shorts/rnW3s_hdt0o?is=HXE_9GZa--luIMg0
>>131637658i remember a number of instances with Cuckgau complaining about drum solos.
>>131637954Phil Collins
>>131637621Because they are the rarest, most sought after type of musician in the non-computer world. Without a decent drummer, you and your band are trash. You're gonna go on stage and play a bass guitar by yourself? Have some faggot yelling over a rhythm guitar? Lmao. Get a grip.
>>131637621It's actually a very cool instrument in a band. The side character one is bass.
>>131638465It's actually because it makes you good at fucking.
>>131637658How does it wreck ur body
>>131637793>Bonham, Ringo, Grohl, the list goes onYou can't say "the list goes on" when two of the three examples you gave were horrible. Ringer was never the main character and Grohl was only the main character after the actual main character was murdered and he became the frontman of a new band.
>>131638530>RingerI wish I could say this was autocorrect but it was unfortunately just autism.
Not a Rush fan? Fuck you!
>>131638530>[Ringo] was never the main characteryou say this, but I guarantee you he'd be most people's first answer when asked to name a famous rock drummer, Ringo wasn't that good but he had a face, name, and personality that people always liked
>>131638569he was also mentally and physically disabled. then again, he was british, so no one could really tell, especially during that time.
>>131638546damnyou got'em
OP is a talentless manlet
>>131638845actually I don't play drums

>>131637621what if the drums are the focal pointhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nfq9_MrBwc8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdMDcG3zAEI
>>131637877What makes you think drums are way easier than guitar? And what makes you think you won’t just give the drums up too? Where would you even put the drums? Hmm?????

>>131639034>What makes you think drums are way easier than guitar?stick hit drum make sound>And what makes you think you won’t just give the drums up too?I actually don't know to be honest>Where would you even put the drums?in my garage
>>131638452>mereCollins is not a "mere drummer".From wikipedia: During a family holiday at Butlin's, a seven-year-old Collins entered a talent contest, singing "The Ballad of Davy Crockett"; he stopped the orchestra halfway through to tell them they were in the wrong key.Most adult drummers could not tell you what key the song they're playing is in.
regarding the question in the op: it's fun
>>131637621I'm sorry your band's drummer "stole" your crush. Hope you find a new girl
>>131637877I mean if your goal is to be in a band, no. Drummers tend to have like multiple bands at once.
>>131637621Never felt this way. Drums control the composition just as much as every other instrument
>>131637621If you want to be in like 11 or 12 different bands at the same time then drums are for you. Also, chicks dig drummers dude, just the way she goes
