Just like any other instrument, the drums require time, discipline, consistency and a lot of hard work to learn and eventually master. Having said this, we all have a drum within us - our heartbeats. This makes other percussion instruments more attractive to us. Arguably, we are able to start playing a drum quicker than we achieve these small successes on other instruments. So, in a nutshell, the drums are not hard to learn. Get out there and find a good drum teacher and start your journey with the djembe or drums. May the drum serve you well.
