5SOS reveal one of the 'great things' their band could do for people

Australian pop-punk band 5 Seconds Of Summer have enjoyed phenomenal success over the last few years and the band have revealed that one of the best things to come from it is the fact that more youngsters might be interested in learning to play an instrument. 

During a new interview with Rhythm magazine, drummer Ashton Irwin confessed that it would be great to think that he and the rest of his band were able to inspire young people to pick up instruments and play more music:

"I hope we get some people playing guitars and drums again, I think that's a great thing our band could do for people."

As previously reported, Irwin also opened up about his own drumming ability and confessed that his fans don't really care how good at it he is: "Chicks don't judge your drumming, let's be honest. Fourteen-year-old chicks aren't going to be like 'Man, that guy sucks', they just like to see a drummer. My stepdad drums, my uncle is a drummer - I'm surrounded by a drumming family and I just want to learn to be the best drummer I can be."
