I used to play acoustic guitar in my teens not very well. Few years ago wifey bought me an amp and guitar unfortunately I’ve a touch of arthritis and can’t bend my fingers like I used to. So I’ve thought about learning to play the drums. Neighbour’s aren’t an issue, family are on board and I have a man cave so won’t really disturb anyone. So if you were starting out how would you do it? What would you buy? Cheers

I had lesson's at Primary school but had to stop when the teacher left. I think Pearl and Premier do good beginner kits also there is Yamaha. There is the electric kits as well 👍

Shame you can't play anymore Tim. I'd try Gear4Music on eBay. They do starter drum sets and I have found all their stuff to be top notch. Cheap too. Free post. My flying V bass was from them, amazing thing.

Get yourself a practice pad , snare stand bass drum pedal and bass drum pad and a metronome...Take some lessons ( using there kit ) and get stuck into all the rudiments....and all you need to do then is practice, practice,practice....

Amazing what you can do with some plastic paint pails
Another to look up is a regular act at the Edinburgh Tattoo, The Top Secret Drum Corp from Switzerland
Their timing is amazing, check them out
Maybe not quite what you want to get into, still pretty good to watch though

I’m a big military band fan, my grandad was a musician in the 1920’s/30’s in the Royal Berkshire regiment, so grew up with tattoos, drums and pipes. Brilliant stuff.

Yep, you can't beat Scotland the Brave and Black Bear by the massed pipes and drums
Nothing is better
