    ...drumming requires hand, eye, and foot coordination, all at the same time. It's the hardest instrument I've tried playing.

    Try to keep a steady blues beat for a minute. Most modern drummers can't. Hell, I can play Expert Guitar on games like Rock Band, but Expert Drumming? Near impossible, due to having to separately play something with my hands and my foot.

    Sounds like playing the organ.

    Except with the (electronic) organ, you have to do all of that with separate keys for your foot.

    Yeah, kinda like that, but much faster. Some drummers use two kick-pedals, and a shitload of toms, crashes, hats, rides, etc. Just youtube some drum solos and you'll see.

    Eep.

    Well good luck with that then PirateNinjaHanyou xD.

    Even though you already play drums and you're just in denial.
