Question Posted Tuesday September 29 2009, 10:45 am
17/f, i recently discovered that i enjoy playing the drums. problem is, the friend who taught me some stuff, is not allowed to hang out with me anymore. (long story) but, he had a drum set, which was pretty cool & i don't know where to get my own, i need cheap and GOOD drums. and...i have to convince my dad to let me get them. we live in a trailer so it's going to be tough to get him to let me get them. i just really want to drum. my uncle has two drum sets, but he uses one and his son uses one. I could practice on those, but i have nothing to practice! I don't know where to go from here, please help guide me in the right direction!
thanks in advance, sorry it was long.

He also prints the music off the internet it not written in the way I remeber music notes it's more numbers quite different to the normal music but he understands it and is getting quite good.
My Brother played drums it is a very noisy instrument he had to set his Drums up in the shed way down the yard. anyway I notice lately I have been hearing a drummer practice in my area he must be allowed to use a shed on week ends that belongs to one of the painters up the way a bit. I do live near an indusrial bussiness area mostly sheds closed week ends. just a thought. Good luck [ Daintree's advice column | Ask Daintree A Question ]

Well here yah go; one site:
By the way all musical instruments are fairly pricy unless you get them at a used pawn shop, or a garage sale. :b
As for convincing your father, simply tell him, you love him and you'd love him more if he bought you a drum set...lol kidding.
Tell him you're serious about playing the drums and that you love it very much and would like a set of your own to continue playing.
