. . . a drummer!
(Sorry . . . just couldn't believe no-one else had posted it yet)

"2- A way to impress girls lol" . . . WHERE did you get that idea from?
Most girls are more into the pretty lead singer / guitarist than that sweaty maniac hidden behind him. And I'm not sure it was a part of the motivation for (say) Maureen Tucker or Sheila E to pick up the sticks either . . .

Drums are still way cool. First instrument of shamanism, still the one that really makes you dance and trance. And it's pointless arguing if they're a musical instrument or not - much like disputing whether black and white are really colours: maybe they ain't, but you're f***ed trying to paint anything without them.

Sandy Nelson and John Bonham. It's all cool.
