I'm a drummer myself, played the bass drum through middle school until they moved me to a trap set, after that I was in to it full steam, played a full 19 piece drum set for a band in Japan and did a lot of 80's and 90's cover music, then it all faded away....

I bet your Neighbours (with a "u".. Wink

(The majority of my Instruments are fitted with "Volume Controls"... Grin

There is nothing more relaxing than sitting down to play a musical instrument in times of stress....or any other time!...

...!

I forever regret the demise of the old upright (slightly out-of-tune) Piano from the Living Room in the olden days... Cry

(Every house should have a Piano).... Wink

Paul....you hum it...I'll play it!... Cool

I was also a drummer back in the Swingin' Sixties. Could have done with one of those electronic gizmos to practice on.

19 pieces. Shocked

I can't imagine what that consisted of, never mind the problems with storage & carting it around.

Not sure I would call drumming relaxing. Undecided
