Is the drums easy to play?

Answer 1

Drums are actually very hard to play. You do FOUR THINGS simultaneously..

i dont know the exact answer to this, but ive been playing drums for almost 4 years. The thing about drums is that, unlike most instruments, you only need one hand to make one note. Guitar you would need your strumming hand, and the hand on the neck of the guitar. Trumpet you only have to use one hand, but you have to change pitch with your lips. On drums, all the notes are litterally in front of you, and you only have 2 arms to move onto a set of drums, compared to 10 fingers and an array of lip movements. i hope that helped.

Most people think they are easy to play because at the root of the instrument it's just keeping a beat, kind of like tapping your toe to a song. Look up basic rock beat on YouTube to see the easiest thing to play. It's learning how to have your 4 extremities do different things at the same time, totally out of your bodies natural rythym, that is hard. The better you get at that, the more you can CREATE a groove, rather than just keep a beat.

Answer 2

Playing the drums is not easy at first but as you progress in your drum playing ability, things do become easier.

If you have a natural feel for the back beat, then it would be easier for you to learn to play the drums. If you can clap your hands to the time of a song, then you have a natural feel for the back beat.

Finding a drum teacher is probably the best way to learn to play the drums properly.

Answer 3
