[Peter Parka]

I prefer real drums to drum machines myself but good luck to you, drums are great, one of my best friends is a drummer.

 

[mushi_999]

I wish i could by some real ones but i live in an apartment and well......

 

[Peter Parka]

I feel for ya! Drums have got to be the hardest instrument to learn from a "not pissing off the neighbours" point of view!

I'd imagine badpipes and oboes would be on that list too.

 

[Peter Parka]

Was that a typo or did you really mean badpipes? Lol! Personally I found learning the didgeredoo was a sure fire way to piss the neighbours off! My favorite instrument and I still can't do it very well. Circular breathing has to be the hardest thing ever!

 

[Sneakiecat]

That was an honest typo because I love bagpipes. Didgeredoo would be another. I've never tried circular breathing but I've known people who have tried and couldn't do it.

 

[Peter Parka]

Haha! It was a good typo though! I love bagpipes myself when played properly, they just sound so terrible if the're even slightly crap. If you like them you should like this group, Peatbog Faeries from the Isle of Skye who I've seen live a couple of times.

More bands need bagpipes. My college preformed "Brigadoon" and I played my flute in it. They had told us that they were going to use a bagpipe for the wedding scene. But they didn't tell us when he was going to show up for to practice with us. Scared the living daylights out of us when he started playing.

 

[Peter Parka]

Haha! Can imagine, I don't know many more naturally loud instruments!

Would these be drums that you can use headphones, so that it solves neighbour probs?

My son mentioned having some drums to play with earphones, which is why I was wondering.

 

[mushi_999]

Yup. I didn't buy an amp. I just use my own headphones. Works great. and i can plug my mp3 and play along with songs. Its fun

That's very neighbour friendly then.

Thanks for that.
