Why everyone loves the drums. Or hates them. haha

I have recently come to own an OCDP Avalon 6 pc Maple shell pack. For those of you who may have no idea what any of those words meant, or who don't care perhaps, I bought a drum set. While up until Saturday I have been actively pursuing drumming and percussion for some time, I had yet to own my own kit. The reason I wanted my own kit? Besides it being a secret dream of mine for quite some time, I have been practicing for about the last month and a half for the Guitar Center Drum-Off competition. While I am definitely not expecting to win, I am expecting to have a lot of fun! And I absolutely love my new kit! It is so nice! i bought it used off of Craigslist after watching for months. I saw it up for sale and at first didnt think I could get the funds together, but I then I sold a few things and did. I am hoping to have pics up sometime soon. Maybe a video if I get enough time together.

I think the reason so many people like drumming, including myself, is that it enables you to easily and efficiently make very loud banging noises. More or less that is what it comes down to. I mean, anyone when they see a drum kit wants to go up and hit a few cymbals or tap on the various parts. Some will go so far as to sit on the throne and hit things for a bit. Most of the time, they don't really grasp how to hold beats and such, but just want to goof around. That is what is so great about music and musical instruments, they mean many different things to many different people. In the meantime, I find drumming fun, interesting and also a good workout, if I go long enough. Well got to go. work starts early.
