I'm sure you could with more time, any instrument is possible with enough time and patience, it took me a while to get basics of drums down, melodic instruments are easier to get into than percussive.
That's cool, I can read music but I rarely need to, I'm getting less musical and more technical lately. Mixing is fun, but it's a lot of work to get things right, trying to master a song right now so it's Album quality and it's too early.. I just want to go back to sleep haha.
