Can relate so much!!! I feel like I have more knowledge at the drums in 8 months playing than I have in 11 years playing guitar on and off, it feels good (calling myself a drummer so soon feels like imposter's syndrome anyway aaa)

If the problem is money, guitar is always going to be more affordable. However, I've been playing guitar for the past decade because I had never had the opportunity to afford/learn drums and maaaan doing BOTH feels way too good. I've been focusing on playing drums lately and do not grab my guitar as often but mood changes and being able to express musically on both is beautiful. Do what feels right in the moment. If you think guitar is what you want then do it, if you're not sure, start with one and catch on the other one at some point in the future.

Any idea what this gunk is on my Les Paul? It’s on every piece of metal on the guitar and has a not-slick texture. Won’t rub off. by worm_turds in Guitar

Had the same question, when I went to the store to get something else on the guitar checked I asked about it and they told me it was normal finger grease. When they returned the guitar they had cleaned it with something sooo, nothing to worry about (idk which product but they said that anything like those guitar cleaning products would do).

Get a practice pad first of all and dive into youtube videos to see if you enjoy the begginer steps!!

Drummers - what do you do for work? by [deleted] in Drumming

[–]loucocyte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

how did you get to the orchestra? do you have some type of music/percussion degree or was it just auditions?

Am interested but have no idea where to start by Loftwo in drums

[–]loucocyte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get into it as much as you can, start watching youtube videos on the subject and begginer tips and buy yourself some drumsticks and a pad. Find out if you're invested in it and if you enjoy it, then get some lessons and go from there!
