Drum kit in the house. Finally!
Well. This should be good for a laugh! My wife surprised me with one of them digital drum kits for my b-day (an Alesis Surge Mesh kit). She said I’ve always been wanting some kind of drum and she’s tired, I guess, of me tapping and banging on anything and everything when I hear music. As a bonus, especially to her, this is a “silent” kit so not “real” drums but that’s ok as I sure am not a “real” drummer anyway. She’s already calling me Ringo (not sure if it’s because of the drum or the nose!). Anyway , should be fun.

Congrats! I've dabbled with drums for years. At one time, I had two full acoustic kits set up in the music room.
Now, I'm down to one, with silent stroke heads and low volume cymbals to allow for playing any time of day or night. The silent stroke heads are a little bouncy compared to normal heads, but still totally workable. I'll never be a great drummer, or even a good one. But I can keep a steady beat, add a few fills and turnarounds when called for, and fake my way thru a surprising number of songs. It's what I want it to be - a fun "second instrument" for when I want a change of pace from guitar. I'm sure it'll be that for you, too. Enjoy!
