"a *bit* odd"?
Yeah, my band is def really odd anyway. I know we need a snare but we don't even have anywhere to set up the bass drum, so I know I'm gonna gotta hold off on that.
Gorganon:
I've played drums for about 7 years now, only got a drum kit to call my own over christmas.
Now, I don't know about anyone else, but my kit is a pearl export, and i love it.
It has basic hardware, pearl protone skin, zildjian zbt cymbal set.
My advice to you if you want to learn how to play is just listen to different bands and try to figure out the beats. start simple, find songs in your collection that have fairly basic beats and not too complicated fills, and work your way up from there.
I started on AC/DC and now i'm playing System of a Down and Reel Big Fish.
I know that doesn't sound too flash but it is damn fun to play.
jeph:
Someday when I have someplace to practice I will teach myself how to play drums. They are the one instrument I would like to learn more than any other.

I'm going to add to this Nick Mason of Pink Floyd. He's not mentioned a lot, but he was a very understated, intuitive player. He wasn't the kind to do loads of flourishes or anything, he did what the song needed, every time, and did it brilliantly.
