School band is one of the most rewarding, character building, activities that any kid can take part of. I highly encourage every parent to nudge there kids in that direction if they show interest (but don't force them).
With that being said... Take it from me; DO NOT LET YOUR KIDS TAKE UP THE DRUMS. Unless you enjoy them absent minded drumming/tapping on ever flat surface 18 hours a day as much as you enjoy screaming "FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, JUST STOP!!!". My youngest is 25 years old, out of school for like 7 years, and STILL drives me bonkers if I am around him for more than 10 minutes with the taptaptappitytap thing. He literally doesn't even realize he is doing it (at least until my head explodes)
I just sit out in front of my camper with no shirt, a mullet wig and a beer.

I haven't seen an issue with it with my nephew who drums, but then again, I'm not with him every day.
