Utter nonsense! Comparing the difficulty in melodic and percussion notation is irrelevant, both have to be learned. You may find melodic notation harder because you have less experience of it. I've met numerous melodic readers who are dumbfounded by the sight of percussion music. Sheet music/melody has nothing to do with the musicality of drumming, that's a common misconception.
Yes I think it is because there's notes on a drum set. You tune your drums to different pitches and you have rhythm of course. So, why wouldn't it be considered music?
I think you will agree with me that it is much more easy to "Read" drum notes.
I'd never agree with you on that, simply because 'easy' and 'hard' are irrelevant terms - if you practice sight reading, whether melody or rhythm, the task becomes less hard. If you don't practice it will remain hard. QED
Drums are not an harmonic instrument, sure you can tune the drum to sound like A , but then again A is also the sound of a phone line, it doesn't make it an harmonic instrument.
Now if you take the term music to it's loose explanation, or I should say , it's dictionary term, then, yes, drums is music.
What is sight reading?
And again,the question is, where you need to practice more ? ( I guess the answer is clear on that.)
I just gave you a list, of all the stuff that the brain has to deal with, while reading notes of the different instruments. It clearly shows that the brain has to work harder in order to practice piano notes (or guitar..) .
I can say on myself, that up until now, reading notes for guitar is hard for me, while reading notes for drums, is much more easy and less mind draining.
(QED again.)
2) And the other group,the one that really play the drums, and without them the song would not sound the same, in that group you can find : Ian paice , neal prat , Jojo mayer ..
and many more. (this is the group I want to be )
neal prat
No...
Be careful misspelling names like that on here. It's spelled Neil Pert.

I have to disagree with that..
I will try to explain it like that:
drummer brain :
-----------------------
1) Think where to hit
2) Think on the duration of the hit. (the note duration, half, full and so o )
Piano, guitar and so on brain ..:
----------------------------------------------
1) Think where to hit.
2) Think on the duration of the hit. (the note duration, half, full and so o )
3) Think on the Scale
4) Think on Sharp or Flat notes
5) Think on the Octave
6) Thinking on Legato, Harmonies.
I think you will agree with me that it is much more easy to "Read" drum notes.
lol, no - Neil Peart
HAHAHAH!!!
yes just notice that as well!
Thanks!
OMG!
Although it came out funny..
