Poll: how do you say it?

What's the popular way to say it? What sounds right/the best? I know all you word geeks will let me know the proper way, but I'm curious how everyone says it. And you don't have to play to respond!

One of the word geeks here.

[quote]
I drum.
I play drums.
I play the drums.
[/quote]

All are grammatically correct in English.


[quote]
I play the drumset.
I play the kit.
[/quote]

Both are grammatically correct in English, but the first sounds awful, and the second sounds like the punchline to a masturbation joke.


[quote]
I play drumset.
ANTHONY SMASH!
[/quote]

Both are acceptable in Hulkese and Special Anthonyse.


Sound-wise, I'm a fan of options 1, 2, 3, and samburusunset's option 8, preference depending on context.
Dramatic highlights & a unique musical cosmos. Guaranteed.

When you put it like that, there is only one choice! ANTHONY SMASH!

Not sure if that's a fair poll.

I like to bang.

(Oops, nope.)

I like to bang the drums.

(Nah.)

I enjoy the occasional bashing of percussive instruments. You know, take a run around the old skins, now and then.

(Pretentious.)

I'm learning to play drums.

(Weak.)

Fuuuuuuuck, I fucking love to fucking play the fucking drums!

(Nutter.)

Can I suggest a category? 'I have no fucking clue what I'm doing, but I'm hitting stuff and enjoying it.' Thanks :-)

Anthony,

You left out Banging on those Bongos like a Chimpanzee :D

However, after the last couple of weeks of chimp issues, maybe that is a bad idea. :lol:
