Hello! Ive been wanting to learn a new instrument. Ive been kinda a home body recently since i swapped from in oerson school to online school, so im looking for new hobbies to try.Ive been thinking about trying to learn instruments. I started listening to Jazz music as im unsure what instrument i wanted to play, but now im unsure if i want to pick up drums or sax.
Drums looks super fun to play, and i like the sound. Ive been listening to Spectrum by Billy Cobham and i absolutely love the sound of the drums in the album. I love the idea of hitting things.
Sax feels itematating, but more rewarding. Sax has a wide variety if genres too. Ive not listened to much music with Sax in it but i listened to "My one and only love" by Grant green and i love the sax in the later part of the song. I dont know if i would like playing it or not because ive never played an instrument like a saxophone, and its also a bigger commitment because i would need to rent one. But i just love the sound of sax so its not a huge deal to me.
I just dont know which one to choose. I love them both. Does anyone have any suggestions on which one i should pick?
Also any music recommendations with good examples of theses instruments is greatly appreciated!
