I'm a little more of a lead instrument in the Meatbats.

It's about as primitive an instrument as you can get.

My first instrument was a little blue ukele.

A baseball swing is a very finely tuned instrument. It is repetition, and more repetition, then a little more after that.

Playing along with records is key. And as far as equipment goes it has gotten so much more affordable and the drum sets are of great quality. I play Pearl; their Export Series is great for a beginner.

If you're not settled spiritually, things can be a little bit more chaotic than normal.
