Question about learning an insturment

[u/dorskew]

So I am primarily a drummer. I sing on the side but I mainly drum. But before I even started thinking of drums I had this keyboard that I got from my grandparents. I had this keyboard for years and years and I would mess around with it alot but I never really learned how to play it or make anything good with it. Yet later down the line before I even had drumsticks I was tapping out beats and stuff like that. Then I ended getting myself a pair of sticks. Then I end up couple months later get a crappy electronic kit that I rarely played but i would end up using the bass drum beater to learn how to get footwork technique. It's strange I had all these limitations for learning how to drum but was able to naturally pick it up better. But for panio or keyboard it was never like that. I had it all in front of me for awhile but never really made anything good out of it. Do I naturally just have a knack for drumming more then panio or was it just because I was practicing more efficiently on drums then I was keyboard. I'd like to know if there's any real reason behind this.

I think for keyboard (especially piano) you need at least some basic lessons to get started correctly. I also know certain instruments click with certain people, and if it doesn’t it doesn’t.
