Ok, I don't actually play the trap set. I didn't even want to try it out in 5th grade.
However, if they didn't need me on first trumpet, I would know that I should have been a percussionist. (Isn't that WAY more impressive than "drummer"?) I think I would be good on the trap set, once I got the hang of it. After all, a leader shouldn't make his followers do anything that he wouldn't do himself.
Believe me, it will be kind of freaky, but kind of awesome, when I started my Animal impression. My students would never think of me the same again once their mild-mannered band teacher sits down on that little stool and is suddenly transformed into a drum-beating, headbanging, cape-flying drummer of awesomeness.
Besides, the drums are the only instrument in the band room that more than one person plays, anyway. I might get fired for playing someone else's clarinet. That would be weird.
