I shouldn't learn to play this stuff, should I?

I'm very impressed that you bought a kit that matches your couch so perfectly.
Of course you should keep them and play them.
Learning any other lesser instrument can only improve how you play bass, which is obviously the most important thing.

 

Go ahead clean 'em up and get the parts they need and learn to play them. You'll be a more valuable band member playing more than one instrument and possible time improvement. It works for some. PS- They look valuable, possibly antiques from the looks of those cymbals and hardware.

 

It'd be rude not to learn.

Pretty sure your neighbours will be keen on you learning to play the drums as well.

 

I think yes, you should learn to play it before the recording session.

 

Good exercise. Go for Neal Peart and get fit.

 

I say, learn to play them...It will give you future opportunity to fire yourself.

 

The rack toms look very tall - do you have to stand up to play those?

 

I think you should keep it. It really ties the room together. And makes for a great conversation piece.

 

What's the bunny think?

 

Kit doesn't look like much, really...why not just send it to me? I'll do you a favor and it take it off your hands.

 

I’m pretty sure drums are just like bass, learning them is relative. It’s a simple equation involving Spare Time, Natural Ability and Goals.

ST x NA = G or greater than you’re good to go.

 

For $111.68? Hell yeah.

 

Keep them and first see if you can learn to play them. If not, sell.

 

learn anything and everything you get the chance to.

 

Learn to play them, be prepared to fire yourself.

 

I dug a drum set out of a dumpster and cleaned it up and installed it in the house. I have played it ONCE this whole year. But recently, I have been considering the idea of learning to play them correctly, once and for all.
