I know a few drummers who can't speak highly enough about this crowd, have a great reputation on the local scene.

Rhythm Base, have a look. - view external link

That looks decent and I noticed two of my drummer mates on pusbook 'like' it, neilo.

You generally find the folk who work in specialist shops of any kind are very helpful and informative.

Cheers Wang Fk sake it's worse than I thought ***ners of different kinds I was thinking electronic for the room but havnae a clue.

[BertrandRussell]

Drumming isnae like playing the guitar. You can either do it or you can't (everybody can get to beginner/intermediate level on the guitar - look at me!).

I would try to get him on a drum-kit at school or something before you spend a few ***dred quid on one. Kids give things up pretty quick if they can't do something and you don't want to be stuck with a A?350 electronic drum-kit.

Cheers for the advice I never knew that about drums I thought if you plugged away eventually you'd get there.He's been getting drums at school and is adamant he'll stick it he's taken music as a choice for 3rd year. one of ma daughters plays piano and can read music etc but she's away at uni and I canny help him.
Aye they,re no cheap I wish my parents had bought me a musical instrument though.

[BertrandRussell]

Playing drums isn't like any other musical instrument.

If your lad is playing at school and getting on okay, then that's a good sign.

Mook (my twin brother) is a great drummer and I can't play drums worth a f*ck.

[rumnpepp]

He took music as a choice it should be compulsory in schools

[BertrandRussell]

Don't think I took music after first year. They don't really encourage creativity.

[rumnpepp]

So yer self taught?

[BertrandRussell]

Aye, took up the bass when I was 15 and bought my first guitar at 19.

Had one lesson on the bass and one lesson on the guitar and that's it (both off mates). Best learning process is to play with other musicians.
