Quoted from George Willson My musical background is rather extensive, though, which is how I do it. If you can learn how to at least chicken peck your way around a piano, that's useful.

My piano teacher always used to say, "If you can read and play piano you can play any instrument." It's true, except in the case of percussion. I'm hopeless on drums.

I only recently picked up drums, and now I can hold my own fairly decently on them. They aren't that difficult if you can convince your hands they both do and don't have to work together. Same with the feet. If the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing, you're off to a good start.

Sadly, I am one of those people that cannot follow a beat with my hands or feet. I guess, I could learn it if I practiced though. Cheers to you for being good at the drums. My brother was brilliant at it growing up, but then he stopped playing; it was creating too much noise in the house and my parents "gently" forced him to give it up.  

You need two releases. Even if a song is in puplic domain you still have to get permission from that particular artist performing the song too.

If you use something in the public domain and you have George willson singing his rendition of it, you still need George's permission to use it.
