This is something that is taught at schools with a music program. (Although, not necessarily discretely).
If you are someone whom has played music before, it is easy to forget what music sounded like before your ear was trained. (i.e. certain instruments and harmonies can be indistinguishable without training)
Is it common to have never played on at a drum kit in your entire life?
- TeMPOraL 8y agoThanks! > Is it common to have never played on at a drum kit in your entire life? I didn't, not on a real one at least. I know the sounds though, I spent ungodly amount of time playing on an electronic keyboard as a kid, where I could (and often would) change the sounds under keys to drums. However, nowhere (AFAIR) were the names of those sounds mentioned, and I'm not sure where I could encounter them.
- jbenner-radham 8y agoIn my anecdotal experience I only know the names of various percussion by sound because I was a drummer in band class at school. My friends weren’t taught that in the general education program though. That could possibly vary by region though.
