There is no point to drums.
 
They are usually cylindrical.
 
You wouldn't know that though, you play guitar where nothing exists outside of your particular realm.
 

What's a melody?

Without drums, there would be no Ringo.
No Ringo, no Beatles.
No Beatles, total chaos.

Bluegrass and folk doesn't use them and the Grand Ole Opry didn't allow them until several years back.....
 
Drums where likely the very first musical instruments conceived in the mind of man....... so they have a long history.....
 
Hey, it's like I tell people who don't like guns..... don't buy one.  If you don't like drums...... don't use them.
 
I'm totally cool with or without drums in music depending on the genre of course..... me, personally, I mostly like and use them.
 
 

That's weird. People usually tell me that they love drums. It's the drummer they can't stand.
 
Maybe that's just true in my case, though...

But, but, but, Todd said it was fun......

.....is this a trick question?

I think this thread is a day late.
 
Prolly the OP spent the day yesterday perfecting flicking back his hair in a timely manner to co-ordinate with his 'tortured' facial expressions when noodling around an A scale whilst buying into a fantasy of what he's doing as being important in some way.
 
Or maybe I'm being just a little bit cynical.
 

 
 
Easy to get mixed up????
