Piano. Professional piano lessons will teach you how to read sheet music which is always a useful skill to have especially if you would like to eventually write music. Also, most electronic music is composed with computer and keyboard so piano experience will help a lot with this.

Drums however is greatly sort after by bands starting out because drummers are hard to find. If you go into playing drums, this will be a separate thing to any other instrument you choose to learn. But, if you master it, you will find it way easier to join a band.

I’m not reading all that but do what you want, not what random people on the internet say

how do i know what i want

Learn the piano. It will give you the broadest base for learning other facets of music later.

Piano scales and chords translate to guitar, in a pig Latin kinda way, too. Good start if you want to branch out to more instruments later.

Personal taste, musical interests, then practice. If you're not feeling it, you can always try something else. The great thing about music: "when it hits you, you feel no pain.."

It's all relative to your own vibe tho. I picked up a guitar, and never put it down. But, knowing what I do now, I wish I had taken piano first, (still plan to, and drums, just wish I had sooner is all).

You use your brain and thinking ability as a human being

How do you NOT know what you want?

Honestly, choosing an instrument is a very personal decision. Try all the ones you're interested in and choose whichever one speaks to you.

piano 100%

Everything else will come more easily.

what is brain

It's not like I don't have a problem with each tool it's just a toss up between all three

So try them all and see. It's not that difficult.

okok wow

Whichever is most attractive to you. Or if you care more about making sounds/music than playing technique, synthesizers can do everything (or at least close enough that most of the audience don't recognize the difference).

Play drums and develop your sense of timing. Once you get to that point switch to piano because that inner metronome in your head will give you a distinct advantage in playing and writing you wouldn't have without playing the drums first.

The electric guitars always fun. Sure everyone plays it but it's still fun.

This. It’s the best way to start understanding how music works because it’s all laid out clearly right in front of you.

Piano

It's the ideal instrument because it covers the widest ground in terms of music concepts, from melody, harmony/chords, and rhythm

Drums is a great 2nd instrument but I wouldn't start on the drums if given the choice as your exposure to music as a whole is focused entirely on rhythm and its interaction with the rest of the band or orchestra - your exposure to melody or harmony is not direct (because you're not playing melodies or chords on drums)

Violin, viola, cello and other "monophonic" instruments like winds and brass (monophonic means you can only play one note at a time - no chords; yes with strings you can play double stops but most of the time it's focused on one note at a time) - the focus is on melody lines which is great, but your exposure to harmony is more limited than piano

Guitar can be a good alternative to piano because you can play one note melodies, chords, etc and as such will get direct exposure to all facets of music

Think of it this way: the ideal instruments to start on are those where you can play an entire arrangement on that one instrument alone - those that can play melody, harmony AND create a sense of rhythm/beat overall at the same time

Also, it becomes a little if not a lot easier to learn 2nd and 3rd instruments if piano is your 1st one
