WOW look at all the drummer jokes! There's almost as many of them as there are lawyer jokes!?! I think other musicians are just jealous that we get all the girls. I've played drums for many years (drumset in a rock band..... yes, yes I can hear more jokes already) If you can keep a beat you can pick up the drums, if you can't keep a beat you can learn to. Like Marcel said earlier a metronome is key!!! And practice, practice, practice!

good luck
