Why I want to learn drums in the first place

I just spend 30 minutes tonight jamming on a simplistic 3 piece setup (hats, snare, ride) with my wife on the keys. She hasnt played on the keys for a long time, even though she was very good at it in her heydays.

We played a couple of jazz tunes, bossa novas and played along to some old classic contemporary jazz records. Our timings were off most of the time. There was off-keys and mis-beats but it was so fun playing with another musician.

This reminds me of why I took up drums in the first place – NOT to spend hours by myself behind the kit trying to work up a sweat to 300 BPM - BUT creating music (not the most perfect, but still a melodious tune nonethess) with another musician.
