Pillow Drums

Pillow drums are slightly better than nothing, and nearly free. (for me at least)  You won't bother anybody, that's for sure.  The "snare"  is a taped up phone book. The kick pedal strikes a bit of cereal box and tissue pinned to the couch.  Get the pillows propped up where they go and flump away to your heart's content.  I think it's funny to pick up a pillow and say "I just added this new tom. Sweet, eh?"   I'm sure there are better ways to practice, but this is where it's at for now. 

 UPDATE -  Gave away the sofa to make room for real drums! Priorities straight. Taking lessons from a real person, and youtube "drum covers" are a good learning tool!
