No, but wait, would it help get girls at a predominately boys school? Well then okay, lets get some lessons.

How could anyone not want to play them...

A month or so ago they had this steel drum band come in and play for us during dinner... Was ninja like.

[Mr1der]

if ninjas made a lot of noise banging on hammered sheets of metal right?

Oh you better believe I want to play the steel drums! They are simply bad a**!

I'm a percussionist and in middle schoo we had a 26 piece steel band. It rocked. we traveled around and played at different school events. it was one of the coolest things that I ever did.

[Gold Digger]

Myself being a percussionist/drummer....yes they are different, I have always found the steel drums to be very intersting. How you can get different pitches from different parts of the drum. I wonder how hard it would be to learn those things. Hell, it can't be all bad. I had to learn how to play the xylophone in H/S along with typani's, chimes, and misc other percussion instruments.

[MagikDragon]

If you can read music, they are actually very easy to play once u know where the notes are. they are all labeled. it can't get any eaiser than that. its all about practice.

[elwesso]

[gabossie]

[JimmyMethod]

It's my life goal...I mean, screw real life. Nico is high school: Being the cool kid makes your life happy forever.
