Wow, thanks for the replys guys. I hear what you are saying about not spreading to thin across too many instruments, but I am talking about being a decent multi-instumentalist over the next 10 years or so. Its just a goal. Although I would love to play drums, I never really thought about it as being an instrument that would aid guitar playing. I am sure if it had come into my mind I would have thought the rhythm aspect would be important, but for some reason I just thought about anything with strings. The replys were an eye opener...........drums..........interesting.

I also hear what your saying about drums not being too portable. I was in a music store today though and had a 2 minute blast on an eectric drum set for the first time. This one was a Yamaha, do all electric drum sets sound so weak?
