its awesome when you can play more than one instrument, you'll be able to record music all on your own and not have to deal with opinions of other band members which i find fucking annoying

You've managed to get better on drums within a month than you are on guitar and you've been playing guitar your whole life..? You must've sucked at guitar pretty hard.

It takes a fucking lot of time to develop the muscle memory and technique, thats why people give up. Knowing what I know, would advise you to find a GOOD instructor, take lessons, practice AT least an hour a day religiously, and at the end of 6 months if you are in to it, get a GOOD guitar.

I already have a good guitar and plenty of teachers. Haha. Free lessons, family of musicians. I've also been playing two hours a day or more. I don't get to sleep anymore, I'm always busy working, picking, working out, I have a very busy life. My down time is spent on the shroomery obviously, haha. Just got back from a picking, lol.

You think I wasn't going to notice something strange about you saying you've played guitar your "whole life" but you've managed to get better at drums in a month. Any instrument player knows that's impossible.

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.

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..

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.
