I love percussion, it looks like so much fun... my husband inherited a drum kit from someone, but no one really plays it, it just gets goofed around on sometimes, mainly takes up space in our house. I even bought one of those "Drumming for Dummies" type books at one point
but haven't made the time to try to learn. I know, though, a real teacher would be needed. But right now it's hard enough to try to find time to learn one instrument.
I saw a story on 60 Minutes a few years back on Evelyn Glennie, she's pretty amazing.
