This is where your path to enlightenment went wrong. The next step, which
took you toward only butchery, goat shit and confusion, was misguided. Your
task was to learn enough physics and coding to be able to implement
physically modelled drums in your computer, thus allowing you to avoid
killing (and raising goats) entirely.
Of course, the problem is that soon after that, you'll need to build your
own silicon fabrication plant, because using motherboards and processors
made by others is cheating too.
