Pounding it Out

Drums--I love them. I love songs with powerful drum solos and wild pounding drums in the background. When I was growing up I learned the guitar, and I love it still, but I have always wanted to learn to play the drums. There's so much more to playing drums than just banging on a skin with sticks. You have to have the right cymbals, have all the right other equipment, have control of the rhythm and be able to lead the entire band. The drums are the backbone of the music and the drummer is the master of the rhythm.
