I am already a vocalist and slowly forming a band.I am taking this poll.I can never stop singing,taping,or humming to the guitar beats.My throat hurt on Thursday from singing.I haven`t sang for a few days.

Simple plan is a gay band.

If you love playing drums so much, then learn the drums. Its also good to play the guitar to have a good feel of songs

Drums!Simple Plan is awesome!

Drums... Guitar... Hmm. Do you play any other instruments? I would suggest starting with some piano lessons before anything else-- learn to read music and get a solid grounding in harmony, melody & rhythm.
If we're really going to boil this down to drums vs. guitar though... Do you already have access to either instrument? A relative or friend who plays, perhaps? Guitar is probably the cheaper initial investment, and might be easier to find a good teacher depending on where you are. Both drums and guitar can be versatile, and both can turn into major money magnets. I guess it's really up to you-- which one do you like more?

lol i know all about that, i wanted to spend a certain amount on my guitar setup, but i ended up going $400AUD over... lol
but i think you should try both first see which you think youd enjoy more then take it from there. im a bit biased towards the guitar.. lol but i think drums are cool too.

Listen to:

Led Zeppelin: Moby Dick

and

Steve Vai: For the Love of God

If you like Moby dick better be a drummer

If you like For the Love of God better, be a guitarist

couldnt have said it better myself, LOL

drums are way better, but if you're always singing along to songs and have a good voice, you might be better suited to the guitar.

i agree that piano lessons would probably be best to start off with, cause then you could pick up guitar and drums so much faster.

whatever you do pick, though, stick with it....

 

[Robinfanandbeastboyfan]

I might pick the drums.I was thinking of having my friend teach me the piano.I am not a huge fan of it,but then again we learned to read music notes in 5th grade.
Stairway,that avatar is freaking me out.Run the monsters are taking over the world.AAHHH!Lol.

My avatar, takes that as a compiment. Just so you know, there are much better bands than simple plan. I suggest you start listening to the likes of; Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Who, Queen, Van Halen, Rush, Neil Young, The Beatles, The Doors, The Rolling Stones, Cream etc.

Seriously, take me up on this, and listen to those bands, and it will change the way you look at music. If you like punk, listen to The Clash.

Nay, if you like punk, listen to Against Me! (the "!" is apart of the name). Though I do agree. Simple Plan is a talentless band. Seriously. They paricipated in the Scooby Doo 2 album >_<. Listen to classic rock and then up. Even classical. I listened to classical for a LONG time and it really, truly helps you define and understand music. Music theory rocks.

Classic Rock - Queen, The Doors, Led Zeppelin
Punk - Against Me!, Refused, or even Ramones!
Classical - Ravel, Motzart, Nobuo Uematsu, Howard Baer (celtic, but whatever)
Goth/Black Metal - Malice Mizer, Emperian Sky, Dir en Grey (I really don't like black metal lol)
Indie - In Pieces (freakin awesome band!)
Other - James Taylor, Styx, and some others...


So, there. Simple Plan < Any of the items listed above.



P.S. Drum. The world needs more drummers. For every 20 guitarists I know of, I know 1 good drummer. It really sucks.

 

[jugglindrummer]

learn drums AND the guitar. That's what i did. It is a challenge to sing and play drums though, (at least for me anyway). I'm currently working on that now, 'cause the people @ my church just figured out that i can sing, so they want me to play the drums and sing. takes some work. But yeah, i learned the basics on the drums first, it gave me the fundamentals of rhythm to be able to start guitar. Then i learned the music theory and scales and stuff. (mostly 'cause i didn't want people to think of me as just a dumb drummer lol)

I think you should do the gutair because if you get really good at it you can mvoe around the stage,play the gutair, and sing at the same time.Also gutairis so much fun to play.

 

[memphisXwasted]

Learn Drums!!! there is too many guitar players.. and 2 drummers

 

[ghost child]

drums are cool because they are easy to play, but guitar is good because it sounds better,i play both and i like guitar better but you should play what ever GOD puts on your heart

I'd suggest learning the drums. They're really fun and lots of people would want a female drummer in their band! It's impressive.

I'd be awesome if you'd learn both too! You could practice the drums when when people don't mind the noise and then practive the guitar anytime and anywhere just about!
