Fun decision that makes a lot of sense, right? Christmas for my family was a lot of gift card “tell me what you used it for” sort of gifts, which l generally prefer these days.

I have enough to get an electronic drum set I could learn the drums on without annoying the hell out of everyone around me (I could use a headset with them). I do want to learn drums some day, but just for fun. There’s no real goal outside if it looking fun to do.

The quality of pressure washer I would want to use would cost about the same as the drum kit and I cannot justify getting booth right now. I have used pressure washers before and I quite enjoy it. Someday I might even consider a cleaning business, so seeing if the magic grows or fades with a quality unit would be helpful.

I lean towards the later just because I don’t know that I have the room for a drum kit right now. Thoughts, opinions?

    I can’t say I know drumming, but from what I can search up it’s apparently better than nothing. An electronic drum kit is better than a pad but not as good as a real kit. They all have different feels.

    However, it seems that doing anything (even air drumming) is better than doing nothing.

    If you are serious, then investigate lessons. You might be able to use real drums at your lessons and the pad for in-between. The teacher should be able to help you pick good exercises for using on the pad.

    From what I’m searching up, it seems if you’re not doing lessons you’ll get bad habits regardless, but it shouldn’t prevent you from starting. Anything is better than doing nothing.
