try out some power cords its a lot of fun that's mostly what they use in punk music its easy and sounds really cool with some distortion you can just use two fingers instead of 3 for it sounds almost the same just to let you know I miss jamming with my friends was always the best time until one day

this shows what a fucking totally ignorant buffoon you are about music. Consider it isn't impossible since I already know rhythm and how to read music. So like I said, go hump someone elses leg.

You likely learned a lot of skills and figured out feeling on guitar. That would have taken some time on drums if you were still a new musician, no?

Once you learn one instrument and have a solid understanding of music theory, learning the fundamentals of a new instrument can be a very quick process. Even becoming proficient doesn't take that long with the know-how.
Mastery is only attained through years of tedium and practice, but it's pretty evident that OP isn't telling anyone he's the next Max Roach yet.

i started thinking about it......well, i know rhythm (i played bass in a jazz band and a couple rock bands before) and I can read music so right away i think that is a big plus. But its more than that.
Its having reflexes and large-limb skills rather than fine motor control in my fingers and hands.

Yeah, the practical part of drumming is all in your coordination and endurance. Wrist control and finger strength do factor in some more precise drum work, as does excellent strength and control of your feet. But for the basics, good coordination will help more than anything else.

i was always a good big sport athlete and ping pong player, had the fast reflexes and stuff, Im thinking that is probably a plus. I use my fingers to give fast rolls on the snare.

Glad to hear you found your niche. You should spend your time becoming a good drummer instead of putting all those weird drugs into your body. You really should slow down on that, you know.

 Weird drugs sometimes offer insight as far as musical inspiration. They won't necessarily make you a better or worse musician, and they certainly won't unlock any arcane musical secrets, but they aren't entirely useless as creativity-enhancers.

Hey, don't get me wrong, I like drugs (or at least most of 'em). It's just these new-fangled RCs are a big unknown, and you don't know what they're going to do to you years down the road. It'd be a shame to see some kind of weird cancer or disease afflict so many people. Plus, with any drug, moderation is key.

yea, thats true, there are a few benign rcs, like 4-aco-dmt (that is, if you dont mind losing your mind on a trip like mushrooms) and 2C-E, but there is a lot of dangerous shit too. 6-apb fucked me up royally. Cactus is good because well, its hard to abuse seeing how it tastes like shit.
