It’s a question you may have asked yourself before, or perhaps it’s one you’re currently considering: which musical instrument should I learn to play? Many people don’t initially choose a specific instrument right away; instead, they decide they want to play music and then explore which instrument to learn. This approach is beneficial because it demonstrates a genuine interest in music and the ability to play it, rather than being drawn to a particular instrument, the appeal of which could wane once the novelty wears off.

Undoubtedly, the two most popular choices for first-time musicians are the guitar and the drums. The guitar seems to be more prevalent, likely because it is smaller, more affordable for beginners, and doesn’t require as much commitment as a full drum kit.

In this article, I aim to champion the drums and explain why, in my humble opinion, they are an excellent option for anyone looking to learn a new instrument. But first, let’s discuss the benefits of investing time and money in learning to play an instrument.

For me, the most significant reward of playing any instrument is the appreciation it gives you for music as a whole. This appreciation lasts a lifetime. You’ll find yourself actively listening to music on the radio or your device, focusing on specific parts played by different instruments, rather than just passively enjoying the tunes.

You might also discover that your taste in music expands to include genres you wouldn’t typically listen to, as songs become multidimensional, revealing more layers within a track or musical piece.

Another significant advantage is music’s ability to relieve stress. We all know how effectively a favorite song can temporarily transport us away from our troubles. If merely listening to a song can reduce stress, imagine the impact of playing it yourself.

Now that we’ve acknowledged the therapeutic benefits of music, why choose drums? The answer is simple: more than any other instrument, drums demand a sense of rhythm and timing. After all, the drummer is the unifying force behind a modern rock band The Invictas are back - Bruce Atchison is one of my (no more available Yahoo Group) best members and he wrote this great article. Bruce is a legally blind freelance writer and the author of two books, When a Man Loves a Rabbit (Learning and Living With Bunnies) and Deliverance from Jericho (Six Years in a Blind School). The first… . Developing a sense of rhythm is invaluable, whether your musical journey leads you to play in front of 80,000 people in a stadium or just for your enjoyment in your living room.

Rhythm isn’t only an asset to musicians; have you ever watched two people dancing Trance Music - Free Flowing Electronica - Have you ever found yourself dancing in a club, utterly absorbed in the melody, feeling as if the trance music is flowing through you and guiding your body's movements? This is an experience I've had numerous times during carefree nights at local techno clubs I've often wondered which type of techno generates this unforgettable sensation… at a party, one with a sense of rhythm and timing and the other without? It’s an uncomfortable sight, especially if they’re trying to dance together! I’m not implying that guitarists or pianists lack rhythm; I’m merely suggesting that, in my opinion, a skilled drummer has an advantage over all of them.
