I know the feeling, I don't play drums, but guitar, and the stories are almost the same. When I play guitar I forget everything else and just have fun with it, and not once have I said that I don't feel like playing.
Just wanted to say that every instrument is a drug if a person loves it.

I used to drum a while ago. For like a year or so. I got bored of lessons and moved on to both Guitar, and after that I played Keyboard. All in all, I think I like drumming the most, and I really want to buy a new drum set. Maby you can tell me where to get some good once?
Anyway, good luck with drumming, and good luck with the blisters. hehe.

Well, i can't really give you advice on where to buy a drumset, since i live in Holland and not in the US :P
But what i did is buying a used one. The one i have is pretty decent, and it only cost me about 350 Euros (that's about 500 Dollars).
But if you want a really good one that is new you'll have to pay a lot more than that :P
And good luck with drumming to you too!
