I'm a senior in high school and I've been leaning heavily towards an engineering degree... Being a drummer and having a passion for music is one thing that I'd like to integrate into my career as well, even if I'm not going to be a sound engineer or a session drummer.
I'd absolutely love to be one of the guys behind designing new drum equipment, whether it be heads, shells, hoops, cymbals.... whatever it is. There has to be engineering behind it. There's just SO MUCH that goes into what makes a drum a drum.... and what makes it all unique.
I've tried to dig up a little on this but I haven't really found anything worthwhile and I don't know anyone involved in the music industry at any level so I have no personal connections. Do you guys have any idea what kind of engineers a company like this would be looking for to hire new employees as engineers?
Mechanical Engineering has seemed the closest from what I've gathered but I'm not so sure that will take me where I want to be.
Even working for something in the audio realm would work for me.
