ive heard it's a lot more fun to play oboe. here's a quote from some forum

"i switched from the Clarinet to the oboe two years ago, it was the best decison of my life. First off, YES it is hard to play, but it is worth it. If you do rent first, remeber that it will sound bad at the begining and it takes time. If you have the patience then definatly try the oboe"

or maybe

"I completely agree with Adam Parnell. There is a lot of technique involved in playing the oboe that sometimes just comes with experience. I`ve been playing the oboe for about a year and a half(switched over from clarinet), and have progressed incredibly with all of the new opportunities that have been given to me- DCYO, DCYO woodwind quintet, ect. The more you play, the more you learn, and there is always something new to learn with the oboe"

and

"... The Oboe is my first choice, it has a brilliant sound to it..."

if thats not enough

"    The oboe is not an easy instument to learn. It is quite fun though"

to top it off

"I've been playing the Clarinet for four years, and in my first year I learned all the notes in about two weeks. It was really easy. It's a pretty simple instrument to play. Each note is one finger after another, unlike the Oboe, which is one of the hardest instruments to learn how to play."

i never let people touch my drum set
if they even look at it like they want to play it, i'll yell at them

probably because a few years back i broke my sister's drum set so i've been careful about letting people use mine

also i don't even know what a reed is
i play the cello

the oboe uses the double one FOR THE RECORD it's about 3 times harder to play than a simple block of clarinet reed

oh i know this kid tristan he carries his drum sticks all around school and the practice kit is in his locker

he likes to show off all the time so i would know

Oboe sounds like a Kazoo.

They do.

Our band director even agreed with us.

Pretty much every drummer I know IRL messes with the sticks playing on backpacks and tables sometimes. 

About my obsessions, I don't know. But some weeks ago I decided to start collecting those silica gel bags you get in shoe boxes and stuff, for the hell of it.

Percussionists are idiots. They're like all failing.

hey i'm a percussionist

well technically

i don't like play that huge kettle drum thing in band or glockenspiel or anything like that though and i think thats probably what you're talking about because i've never heard anyone refer to drummers (like drum drummers not band class drum drummers) as percussionists even though thats technically what they are so yeah whatever
oh and i play the triangle too
but yeah i'm still learning with that one

hmm anyway yeah
obsessions
i don't really have many
not any that i can think of now at least

well
i kind of keep like memorabilia from everything on this bulletin board in my room
like it's filled with old name tags and sticky notes and baseball tickets and stuff

Percussionist at my school includes snare, bass, that one rock stars play with all of them, triangle, cymbals. And more.

But those are drums to be played individually, I assume. Real drummers play them all coordinately at the same time ;P
