No, you don't need to know how to play piano or understand music theory. Sure it helps, but if you're into edm, you probably don't want to worry about putting in multiple hours a day learning how to read music, ear training, or transcription. You just wanna have fun and dick around with effects until you stumble upon something that sounds good to impress your friends, right?I really need to know.

I agree, but, lets be real here, if you need to ask, "should I learn an instrument to make ___", you didn't have any intent to do so in the first place. Furthermore, EDM as a genre is all about immediate gratification and having fun-thats why most kids are drawn to it in the first place. No one expects for someone into EDM to want to do unfun things like spend a weekend practicing scales and classical pieces. EDM producers with any real musical ability came to it from a different genre.Ouch! :O Allthough I most of the time would agree with that, (listening to most electronic music out there today, it seems that's what it's about) I just have to say that electronic music can be just as musical as anything else.

Bass is a great instrument for learning about music and playing along while you produce.
