I've been playing for about 25 years but at the moment, I don't see many kids taking up the drums in my area, but then I think, why would they?
You need:
-A detached house or your own studio or neighbours that don't complain
-A car
-physically fit (to lug all that gear around)
-good concentration span
-dedication to a boring practice regime
-a good ear
-good time
-natural flair
-a good cash supply (to pay for sticks, heads and all the kit that you need)
etc etc
What I am saying is, what can be done to make drums more attractive for people to start?
I look at this list and if I wasn't already a drummer, I wouldn't consider it at all, would you?
I am of course in England where outrage is a sport. Making noise as a drummer, I have constantly been in dispute with neighbours, despite doing everything I can to play at agreed times. Maybe in other countries it is different
