Does playing the drums count as playing an instrument?

As in, is it just banging a stick onto a piece of animal skin, or does it take skill?


Of course!

Absolutely! I've been playing set for eight years, and it absolutely requires incredible skill and understanding of pitch. range, rhythm, et cetera.

As a person with no rhythmic skill, I know that playing the drums is something that requires talent/skill. Haha.

Yes it takes skill. I mean, there's 5...6...7 different pieces on a drum ensemble, and each drum makes a different beat, and you have to be in sync with the music, and hit the right drums, with the right amount of power, in the right order... I pretty much suck at them.

But I wonder if Bongo's count as an instrument? I friggin love bongos!

Though I do mess around with the drummers in my band, drummers are definately musicians. No, I am not in the Georgia Tech Marching Band.
