Starting Drums!
Thrillho:
Learn to play in time before you learn anything stupid like a Dillinger Escape Plan song in 13/8 or how to do that thing where you twirl the sticks around your fingers. Being able to keep a rhythm well is infinitely more important than being able to do something stupidly complicated and having to follow everyone else. If Meg White can make a career out of a hi-hat, a bass drum and a snare, then so can you.
Scandanavian War Machine:
man...i play drums...i feel like i should be contributing but i don't know shit about drums besides how to play them.
i can say this however: so far, Paiste cymbals are my favorite that i've played. also; piccolo snare drums are pretty sweet sounding.

Anything helps! :D
Oddly enough, tho, I think I have to get a bass before more drum stuff, because I've got a student lined up and I'll need an instrument to teach him on. I have managed to cram one tom into my room and like to hit it sometimes
Cam:
Learn how to hold the sticks properly and prepare for blisters. Rudiments aren't a bad thing to learn even if you are just going to play a drum set. You can always find ways to apply them to your playing and they do help build up your chops. As others have said, a functional snare and bass are requirements. I do recommend ear plugs or other hearing protection if you are going to be playing for extended periods of time.
StaedlerMars:
I've always wanted to play the drums. I make do with my table, several glasses, sometimes pots and pans.
not that it sounds good or anything.
Where in ...where did you get drums for $40?
I also probably don't have enough space for drums. I wish there was a place I could put a drum set, after affording them, and just hit it. see what happens.
