Well, good luck with that. I had some Peyote years ago, and I can't imagine the San Pedro tasting more disgusting than that.

I'm just saying if you "wasted your life" playing guitar I'm assuming you've played it alot.. It impossible to learn howto play the drums as well as you were playing guitar when youve been playing guitar years and years compared to playing drums for one month.. Just because you know the notes and don't only use tablature doesn't mean youl be able to immediately play the drums because of it. One uses fingers and the other uses your arms and legs.
-guitar player
Years of perfecting guitar will not give you the ability to perfect drums even more than guitar just because you "know music".. Any guitar player would agree I'm friends with people that are INSANELY good at the guitar..

I have small wirey hands so drums are perfect for me.
played guitar for a couple years. I could wow people, but reproducing other peoples music was just a bad idea.

He's just saying he's picking up the drums at a faster rate than he started picking up guitar. I also play both, similar situation and yeah, I learned the drums way faster after playing guitar for years. I later moved into an apartment where I could not even store drums, let alone play them, and realized playing the drums actually made me a better guitar player.

being a good drummer increases your awareness of time (go figure right), and this expands into pretty much every aspect of your life whether you know it or not, including your use of other instruments.
you are probably much more efficient with your strumming/picking, among other things

drkkenny said: My brother first learned how to play the guitar when he was 9. He spent the majority of his life thinking that that was what he was meant to do, and he would always inform us about his latest song he created. I would notice that as he created these songs he would expect us to rebuke him for his "amateur" skills, but seeing that we never did, he continued to play. He didn't know that the entire time we rooted him on we were actually trying to tell him to abandon ever picking up a guitar again, and that in some way when we told him we wished to hear him we were only being modest & self serving. A year later he heard that there was a local band searching for a guitarist to play in there band, and he joined them and got recognized as the greatest guitar player in the entire universe. My brother is Jimi Hendrix. What I'm trying to say is don't lose hope, since even when you seem to think that you are mediocre at what you do, someday, somehow, you might discover that you really have the skill of jimihendrix under your skin. 
The band he joined later told us that they had someone whom played the way he did, that in some ways their styles were so identical that to tell them apart was quite difficult. One of them suggested that perhaps they had crossed paths at one time and they showed each other their styles, perhaps combining their guitar elements to be composed into one grand tune, but later they discovered that both of them had never met, but, that he actually did know the cousin of the guitarist, whom would frequently come over and play for awhile. A year later they both met and did play together for awhile, both finding each other pretty good at playing guitar.
You need meds probably. Or need to lay off the chems. Youve lost it.
@OP, dont get yourself down, you can still play guitar bro! You can pull one out pretty much anywhere and win girls over.
You may be better with drums, but you cant really pull out a drumkit at a bonfire and woo a girl.

So the sole purpose of musical endeavours is to woo random women at bonfires? I guess I missed this over the last two decades.

You can woo a girl by playing a song for her and singing even if you don't have a voice, itl be cute, I've done it.
Can't do that with drums.
