Is this the son who uses his retard super powers to get girls?

If he learns how to play drums he will be able to hose down the entire village with his cum making sure every pretty girl gets a taste.
yes, he has bizarre inadvertent girl game because of his autism. he is a bit socially odd but does not seem to care, so this attracts a particular type of girl. he is also into theater so he does these plays that are like 90% girls, which I think coincidentally is the type of girl that likes his type.

curious to know what sort of cocktails you'll be using the mitigate the effects of a nascent drummer in the household
we're thinking of putting the kit in our master bedroom which is sort of isolated on one side of our house above the garage

I'm sure we'll still be able to hear it, but if he's up there practicing, the living areas are on the complete opposite side of the house and we could have two doors closed in between (bedroom door and hallway door that leads to the bedroom).

Plus when I get shot down at night, I could have the drums handy to do this:

+1 on the pedal. that pedal will do fine, you don't need anything too fancy. Bonham played on a speed king, which, by today's standards, would be kind of a garbage pedal. I have a speed king and love to play it. Like anything else, it's most the archer, not the arrow.
I have the world's coolest pedal, the ASBA Caroline. It's gigantic and beyond smooth.

See also: Clay Marzo, who appears to have game. At least, he's got a girlfriend.

As an engineer, I can tell you most all of us are on the spectrum, it's just a question of how far over we are. There is DEFINITELY a type of girl that likes engineers.

Its fantastic for the price.


Does he have a drum pad?

I bought one. I'm trying to be able to do triples bouncing the sticks.

It hard.

drums seem like a giant rabbit hole to geek out on components. which is awesome
It's true. I have a really cool kit, 70s blue acrylic Ludwig Vistalites and a couple cool old cymbals. But that aforementioned kick pedal is for some reason the apple of my eye. Also drums are really hard to record.
