Poll: how do you say it?
Posted: 18 Mar 2009 20:49What'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!

Posted: 18 Mar 2009 21:01"I drum, therefore I am."
Posted: 18 Mar 2009 21:08I think its either "I play drums" or "I play the drums."

I drum.
I play drums.

All are grammatically correct in English.

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.

I play drumset.
ANTHONY SMASH!

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.

Not sure if that's a fair poll.

Posted: 18 Mar 2009 22:33I 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.)

Posted: 18 Mar 2009 23:07Can I suggest a category? 'I have no fucking clue what I'm doing, but I'm hitting stuff and enjoying it.' Thanks

You left out Banging on those Bongos like a Chimpanzee
However, after the last couple of weeks of chimp issues, maybe that is a bad idea.
