What instruments do all of you guys play?

I can play the drums, the guitar and a little bit of piano., but drums are my favorite by far.

I play guitar (and all fretted instruments by extension pretty much), a bit of piano/keyboard (will be taking classes starting next semester, but I might be able to skip over the first level of it), beginner-level drums (I can lay down a basic beat in pretty much any time signature and do a proper shuffle, which I think makes me better than a lot of drummers :\), I can play Mary Had a Little Lamb on both trumpet and saxophone. Give me five minutes with almost any instrument and I can play something on it that doesn't sound like death, I was always pretty good at music if I do say so myself. I think I actually got worse at writing the more I learned about theory :sad:

I'd love to get a sitar and a theremin. I'd like to pick up saxophone again too...I quit after like a month cause the school lessons were way too slow and I didn't care enough to just get private lessons at the time.

I haven't played the drums in about a year, which really sucks. I moved into an apt. and I don't want to piss of my neighbors.

But in all seriousness, I'm okay at guitar and I used to play trombone.

I currently play guitar and the cello, i used to play piano for like 6 years

Captain Colon
5 Apr 2008, 07:59am
I wish I'd taken Cello in elementary school instead of trumpet :( All I wanted to do was play reveille...they brought us into the music room and had us play all the options available to see what we would be best at and they were like "yeah can you please play cello now you should really play cello" but I didn't listen :(

To this day I still haven't managed to get a flute to make noise.

I GOT BLISTERS ON ME FINGERS!

...ahem. Yeah yeah, old thread is old, but I bought my first guitar today. Kinda late to be starting at 22, but I only want it to be a hobby. Gaming is getting really fucking boring.

I picked up a G-310 today along with Doug Marks' Metal Method. Should be fun. :thumbup1:

Besides that I think I can play the drums decently. I live in an apartment so I can't play a real set of drums(otherwise I wouldn't have gotten a guitar to begin with), but I've got sticks and a history with Drum Mania. Every once and awhile I grab my sticks and hit my thigh with them and tap my feet on the ground. I can do the generic DragonForce verse drum line like that and a 160~ish BPM double bass drum line, so I don't think making the transition to an actual drum set would be too difficult other than actually having stick rebound on drum pads versus having none at all on my thigh and having pedals instead of the floor.

I've played Baritone in middle school and high school for three semesters, did keyboard for two semesters in high school and acoustic guitar for one semester in high school.

Five string transparent blue plexiglass bass guiar, drum machine, looking to buy a new electric guitar soon, programming software(fruity loops and guitar tab pro). All the essentials a producer would need. I've produced 1 CD for my old church and 2 or 3 accoustical songs a friend wrote. Looking to write and produce a solo project of my own soon.

Guitar- Almost 3 years
Bass (5, 6-string:001_cool:)- almost 3 years
Keyboard/ Piano- Kinda dawdle on it :bored:
Drums- not much but I can play a couple of songs and lay down a good beat
Saxophone- used to play but quit after a year or two.

And probably most stringed instruments by extension.. (Upright bass, etc.) Except the crazy ones

I'd love to get a sitar and a theremin.


Damn son im right there with you :P

I play classical guitar, took drum lessons (didnt like that much, mainly coz i didnt have drums, figure that out :P)

I want a banjo, thermin, sitar (any asian instrument is cool) ukulele and a harpguitar and a 12 string classical guitar.

That'd be sickkkkkkk

Henrik - jeg er også dansker, hvilket instrument er det? Jeg kan måske oversætte :)

@ Everyone - Just told him I am danish as well, so I might be able to translate what instrument he play..


I play the bass in a band called Even:Flow ( www.myspace.com/evenflowdk ) .. Been playing for 4 years now.. Never had any lessons, so I practically suck.. :biggrin:

5 years classical piano training, my mother did that to me when i was younger, hated that shit. The piano is in my parents house.

About 2-3 years of drum lessons, still have my drumset.

Just picked up a Warbeast 1 guitar. Its fucking wicked. Am waiting for Jewbot to get his ESP Explorer shipped to him so he can teach me to play.

you mean the grey bits on the symbols? those are just pads to dampen the sound, it's the same with the black covers on the drums.

Anyways, i play some piano but i'm grade 4 on drums aswell :001_smile:
