Any of you drummerworld drummers play any other musical instrument?
My drum teacher plays, marimba, vibraphone and keyboards as well as his kit (sometimes he brings the vibes for a lesson).
He says that the lessons learned in playing vibraphone helped his overall drumming. Example, playing vibraphone and marimba (both pitched percussion instruments) involves precise beater placement, and he said it helps him with his musicality (that plus his knowledge of scales, chords, harmony etc. that unfortunately not many drummers know about).
