It’s always the highlight of the show. Drums have got to be one\u003cbr\u003eof the coolest instruments both to play, and listen to. But more importantly, the drums are the\u003cbr\u003eheart of the band. The drummer is the one who sets the beat for the rest of the musicians to\u003cbr\u003efollow.\u003cbr\u003eIt would seem that drums are easy to play. After all, anybody can pick up a pair of sticks and\u003cbr\u003estart banging on them. But once you begin to take lessons and practice you’ll soon find that they\u003cbr\u003eare one of the most difficult instruments to master. It takes a great deal of coordination to play\u003cbr\u003ethe drums well. Each arm and leg is doing something different at the same time and it’s not easy\u003cbr\u003eto have all four limbs going at once, all the while keeping good time.\u003cbr\u003eIf you’ve been considering taking up the drums as your instrument of choice there are a few\u003cbr\u003ethings you need to know beforehand.\u003cbr\u003e• Drums can be very expensive. Yes, there are some kits out there that are very cheap but\u003cbr\u003ethe old adage holds true here too: you get what you pay for.\u003cbr\u003e• They take up a lot of room.\u003cbr\u003e• They’re very loud\u003cbr\u003e• They’re fun, fun, fun. So if you can deal with the rest; go for it!\u003cbr\u003e©2010 Karen Denning :: Denning Media Setting the Drums on Fir","brand":"99 \u0026cent; store, save to buy more","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47070384554224,"sku":"2940014005661","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014005661_p0.jpg?v=1763603075","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014005661","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
