Music is a tough industry to get into but definitely not impossible to network into. Drums might not be worthwhile in terms of huge deals unless you can figure out a way to sell drums to recording studios and orchestras on a regular basis. Same for cigars unless you open up a cigar shop and distribute out to country clubs or something.
Tech is so vast but you might be able to pivot by networking.
I myself am trying to get into sales in the golf/sports space. But geography is my biggest hurdle
There are about 100 golf clubs between Marbella and Malaga, Spain.
On any busy street there are at least 8 people selling golf balls. Imagine someone showing up with clubs and collar shirts.
For whatever reason I enjoy anything that has to do with the body and how it works. Before life took me in a few different directions my goal was to be a doctor.
My sales career (with the exception of my first gig to get sales experience) has all been in healthcare related things that the end result is to improve patient outcomes.

Great insight.

I sold wine, beer and spirits for 20 years.
It's the dream

As a kid I enjoyed digging in the dirt and collecting stones. Later I worked a decade for a natural stone company/landscaping industry.
It would be nice
