Newest family member: Yamaha DD55 drum machine ("Gold Lion" tease :P)

I have no idea how to play drums. I can't even say "I'm no good," because that would be an understatement. I just got them today, never played a drum in my life. Good thing I have friends who are drummers... hahahha. I bought it used for about $90, but I don't have a hi-hat pedal. Bleh, oh wells! Better than nothing!

well, i am a drummer myself, and soon ill be posting A LOT of pumpkins song covers on drums because they my favorite band. and i would suggest watching other people play drums like on youtube or buy a cheap drumming dvd i see em at guitar center for like 5 bucks each. but what im basically trying to say is, you need to study the basic techniques before you can go any further. for instance, i learned to play by watching my dad for countless hours. you'll get it right sooner or later :)

I've been thinking about buying some DVDs. Thanks for the pointers :) I'm pretty overwhelmed with this thing... keyboard wasn't too hard to learn after playing guitar for years, but drums are a whole other beast hehehe
