Music
Drum Kit
Four limbs, four patterns, and coordination rather than force
Noise decides where this happens: a flat is essentially impossible, so people rent rehearsal rooms by the hour or buy an electronic kit and use headphones. The difficulty is limb independence, with hands and feet on different patterns, fine apart and chaos together. A practice pad and sticks will start the hand work.
First stepGet a practice pad and sticks and work single strokes to a metronome, then rent a rehearsal room for an hour and play one basic groove on a full kit.
