Do you think I could learn drums in a year?

Question

If I choose to splay drums I would need to know them in a year for a school band.

Would I be able to do it by next year? I can choose to play either rythem guitar or drums. I think the rythm guitar would be easier but I like drums.

What do you think?

Answer 1

First, see if you can sign up for some drum lessons with a good and experienced teacher. They could also evaluate your knack and or talent

Answer 2

well i play guitar myself and it took a while to learn, with a pro teacher.

but with drums i taught myself i normal rock beat in a day.

imagine what you could do with a pro teacher and a year. you will be great

:):):) and im 13

Answer 3

I have been playing drums for just under 2 years, but after a year of lessons I was playing to a decent standard.

I think drums is a great instrument to play, and I've really enjoyed playing it. School band standard would be possible in a year, but  you would have to work hard at it.

The other thing to think about is whether your parents will let you have a drum kit, because they are quite noisy. Or you could go for the option I took, which was to buy an electric one, which is much more expensive, but quieter and better in the long run.

Good luck, whichever you choose.
