For starters, yes Rock Band got me addicted to the drums. No, I do not think playing real drums is anything like playing Rock Band drums. However, it has gotten me listening to the drums in every song I listen to, and I really think it's something I could really enjoy. I got my grade 10 in piano, so I know a bit about rhythm, and I think it's something I could do.

So, my question is, how does one get started with the drums? Do you just buy a set at a garage sale, watch a couple youtube videos, and voila! you're a drummer?

I know there are a few drummers here, so I figure this is as good a place to start as any...
