It's ridiculous how good drumming feels compared to basically any other activity (lemmy.world)

I've been playing guitar for around 2/3 as long as drums, and it's fun, sure, and I enjoy being musical and creative with it, the relative ease of practicing, and I do feel good after I play.

But it's nothing compared to drums. Drums gives you every bit of that creative flow that other instruments do, plus the intensity and invigoration of a literal workout. It's unparalleled. Going to the actual gym feels like bullshit -- I'm exerting all this energy and getting nothing out of it. With drums, I can push my muscles farther and farther, work up a sweat, and get an emotionally meaningful performance out of it as well.

simply nothing like it

I love drums and focus on them on all songs, but have never tried it myself.
