Hello to the Mods and the forum. I decided to finally start actually reading and learning about drums and then hopefully buy a set of drums to play. I am from Iowa, USA and I am 21 I played drums when I was very very young in the school band, but quit because "it wasn't cool" to be in band back then. Anyways I pretty much forgot everything and I've grown up with friends playing guitars mostly But I always seem to want to get back into drums and learn and play them. Another thing I was confused about is people have different amount of drums in there sets. Like Back then I had 5 but I see people with 7 or more and I just assume(there song they are playing) required more drums? I don't know just something I got to learn. Any helpful things or links be great. Thanks for reading and hopefully Ill become a vet in the community.

Hey, gardascia, welcome to Drumset Connect!

You know, some drummers are moving to only 4 drums because they really want to focus on their drumming skills and not worry about show. Others are going to 7 or even more drums because that's the kind of kit they want to play. In my opinion, it's a matter of personal preference. Others may disagree.

If you've got rhythm in you, you're just naturally going to gravitate back toward drums. Nothin' like 'em.
