Ok, that was great advice, most people were saying "well, i'd get the 500 dollar blah blah blah, and then the 200 dollar pedal" but what you said makes much more sense. If I buy a set, can I add on to it with cymbals and stuff, or will I have to sell the original and then buy a new set?
yeah, you can add onto it... I'd say get a set that looks something like this... 3 piece is rather basic, but if you want to go larger and more advanced... just get this
1 - high hat
1 - Snare
1 - bass drum
2 - Rack toms
1 - floor tom
1 - ride
then go from there... but like I said you have to learn to keep the beat though... if you're looking at using a double bass pedal you're talking about keeping four beats. I mean, it's pretty easy to keep 3 beats
Right hand - eighth notes
Left hand - snare on 2 and 4
Right Foot (bass drum) - 1 and 3
and that's a basic rock beat right there...
you're going to throw in your left foot, you have to now manage 4 beats. I mean, you can do it... but it's going to take a while longer than 7 months. You've had a bass that long and have decided that it's not for you. Let me inform you... a bass guitar is only 1 beat... and you're having difficulties with that? drums isn't a step easier, if anything it's harder. I've been playing bass for about 7 or 8 years now... and I'm still not happy with the way I play, there is something you can always work on... but you can't just toss it aside and say you're no good after 7 months.
It's true, you will suck after 7 months
you're not going to be Eddie Van Halen on the guitar in 7 months of owning one
you're not going to be flea on the bass in 7 months
and you're certainly not going to be any Joey Jordison after 7 months of playing the drums
you have to ride it out... and the only thing that makes you better... is
PRACTICE
