As a percussion major and teacher , i don't think drums are hard to learn. If you have a good sense of rhythm and feel for music drums are fairly easy. Bassoon is very hard to learn as is the oboe.

And what will the bassoonist and the oboist say...  I think all of the instruments have their own levels of hardness. You seem to be quite ambitious. Make a pick and I am sure you will learn that instrument.

This is an interesting question. My guess that each instrument has it's challenges.
I'm an adult who is trying to learn to play the piano and have been at it for approx. 2 1/2 yrs. Bartok's mikrokosmos is driving me nuts at times, but finally learning to sight-read, if only I could get my fingers to do what the notes on the page say and counting, oh well, hope it all comes together one day.
When I go to concerts, and I know this seems a silly question, but how is the music written in order for the percussionists to know when to jump in?

Percussion music is written like any other music. It just has rhythms instead of notes like a flute. They have measures, rests, dynamics, tempo markings, etc. just like the rest of the group. The keyboard percussion and tympani have notes like a piano in treble or bass clef. A good percussionist has to learn both clefs because keyboard is in treble and tympani is in bass.
