The school will only let Sam learn one instrument at a time so he's gone for violin, which means he will have to learn to play drums at home. Clearly I need to learn to play them first.
So we took the plunge and bought a fairly cheap electronic kit last week and I've been learning from a book for the last 4 days. I have to say, I'm actually not at all shabby at it. It's a lot easier than learning to play a proper instrument.
