I have a friend who plays drums and is at the age where he needs to decide if he will study music or something else. This kid has done nothing since the age of 5 but be a drummer. He still loves it and is passionate about it. Will studying something else interfere with his musical aspirations or be a helpful backup? I want all answers from the practical to the dreamy - and everything in-between.

Opinion

Music is changing, not everyone will like the drum forever. Some will love a piano and other instruments hence blend in and be familiar with other things. I would encourage the boy to pursue other things.
