Man... good old wooden will always win. Sure, with electric you can get some nice new sounds and a little control, but nothting beats the sound of REAL drums. You can just FEEL   the difference....

Piano. Actually keyboard. It is both easier & more fun to learn I think. My bf tried to teach me how to play guitar but it was hard for me to put my fingers EXACTLY the way they were supposed to be. To get the EXACT sound that the note is supposed to make, you gotta make sure you put your fingers in the exact spots.  W/ the piano/keyboard you don't have to worry how you place your fingers so much. As long as you're hitting the right notes. If you haven't tried the guitar I'm sure you'd agree w/ me on the piano/keyboard thing.\n\nBout what the guy said b/f me, keyboards are very lightweight as well. They also have more types of sounds. Pianos are very expensive. You can get a keyboard for maybe as low as $100-$600. Depends on how big of a keyboard you want. A used one would be the cheapest. Maybe check out garage/yard sales or even pawn shops. Depends on how many diff effects you want too. W/ a guitar you can buy amps but those can be expensive. It depends on what size & brand you're looking for tho. If you want a Marshall (what the rock stars use, check out the vids, you can expect to see a Marshall in music vids sometimes :P) expect to pay $800 for a big one. My bf got his for $800. A smaller one would cost less tho. But the amp that my bf has has lots of effects on it. The bigger the amp, the more effects it'll have. The more expensive the keyboard, the more expensive it'll be. Depends on what you want. Basic or instrument w/ more advanced features.

i play the oboe and its a very easy instrument if you can remember the keys and the notes. then comes the hard part, the reed. the reed is a very hard part because you need to have your lips tight and then the muscle in the mouth has to support it. blowing into the reed is hard too. you only have like a little space to blow air into. and sometimes you can get air headed. if your nervous will you are playing then the sound of your notes ore going to be wrong and they are going to be going like a car trying to start up. playing eight notes on the reed is hard i can barely do that and I've been playing for like a year.  so there are a few tips on how to play the oboe.

I agree with am1benz answer. I would add, however, that when I first started playing bass for a rock band (I used to be a classical guitarist) I found it to be much easier than guitar, but as I started playing more complicated music (Latin, jazz, fusion) I found it required even more work to play well than the guitar, because the strings are heavier, and required greater dexterity in my fingers in order to play fast and with a consistent tone and attack.

If you want to know the answer to that question you need to see pete townshend's performance at woodstock.  This man's hands have been known to get cut up from playing so hard, that's why i feel the guitar is the most physical instrument as far as passion, but as far as physical effort, drums are more physical.

The best advice you can possibly get right now is: Get lessons.  You'll save yourself a lot of frustrations.  The best kind to start with is an acoustic with the strings high off the fret board.  This teaches you strength & when you finally switch, you'll be lightning fast.  You should learn everything new on the acoustic.

learn a musical instrument.  All women love musicians

those three instruments are actually the only three instruments that i have ever been interested in. sadly im lazy and have given up on all three. my recommendation is the piano though... this is only because from what i hear "if you learn to play the piano it makes it a lot easier to play almost any other instrument" or thats what i hear anyway. point is regardless of wether u choose it or not. anything is better than nothing because its better to get urself at least used to reading music and what different notes sound like etc. u can always change to a different instrument later... also someone said that guitar chicks are hot... actually any girl that plays an instrument that can be in a rock band is sexy. :-D

Well, I play the alto but I am not really sure that there is a "best" saxophone. I love playing the alto but I am sure that the other ones also have good qualities in them.

There are lots of choices in a school band - flute, clarinet, saxophone (alto, tenor & in some baritone), french horn, trumpet, trombone, tuba, drums, oboe, bassoon.  I'm a flute player, so I'm partial to that - but I've always wanted to learn to play oboe or bassoon - they sound soo cool!  I don't like clarinet, personally I found it very easy to play - quite boring.  Same with sax, no challenge for me.  Trumpet is alright, trombone is soo much fun to play, as is tuba - you'd get to play the root bear song!  French horn is beautiful, but very challenging.  Drums - blech, they are alright, but not my style.\n\nAnd that's just it - you need to find YOUR style, not mine or anyone else's.  Try each instrument, listen and feel what they are like.  You'll find the one for you.  Have fun!

French Horn.  It takes a while to get a good tone when playing and it has a huge range.  I once heard a fellow play almost 4 octaves on one.  Flute, Clarinet + Sax have a set range of about 2.5 octaves and alot of fingering combinations to remember.  Your sound depends on the type of reed and bite you put on it.  Tuba requires alot of wind and a good sized mouth as the mouthpiece is huge.  French horm and trumpet need taut lips, breathing skills and an ear because to actually hit the various notes you have to kind of sing in your head.  Drums require good hand coordination.
