    I'm a pianist when I can find the time. I used to be about Grade Four standard but a total lack of practice has meant I'm not even close to that anymore heh.

    I'm also a pretty good drummer, but not to the standard I wish I was. Not bad though.

    I used to play violin for a couple of years, but I quit when I moved into a new school that didn't have an orchestra program. For band stuff, I played Bass clarinet for everything, and I've been experimenting with a keyboard off and on in my free time for the past couple of years. The instrument that I am probably best at is the Bass clarinet though, since I've played it for like 7 or 8years for the school band.

    I used to play guitar.

    Now I play my vocal chords. Very badly.

    I'm more of a writer than a singer, I guess.
    I've been on this site since 2006 woah

    Im a drummer, I figured I like to make noise, and hit things, so it was the perfect thing for me. I only have a basic kit right now, but as we speak i'm buying the new iron cobra double kick, and a couple of tama cymbols, haven't decided what kind, I need a splash, but they're big $$$

    I play guitar, bass, drums, and piano.

    My guitar is a Slammer made by Hamer. It's pretty old and still has a rreally good sound. It's my first guitar and I've been playing since I was about 16.

    My bass is a Peavey T-40. It's pretty heavy and when paired with my 12" bass amp, it can rattle every window at my house and next door. I'm notr as good at playing bass as I am with playing rhythm.

    I've been playing piano since before I can remember, but don't practice enough to be considered any good at all. My skills are basically limited to one hand.

    My drums set is a mid-60s Roger's 360. I've had it for a few years and is by far my favorite instrument. Although I'm not very good at playing it, I'm not bad either. However, I do kick ass at the drums when playing Rock Band.

    if you want a sweet consistant sound out of an IC try switching the mallets out with hammers, if it doesnt already have them.
    Also Zeildjin makes a prety decent low cost splash (havent checked on them in a while), they use to sell them for about 60 bucks

    To call me a pianist is a bit of a stretch, but I know enough to read music and play. My favorite songs to play all seem to be by Beethoven. Fur Elise(what pianist hasn't learned this) and Moonlight Sonata(my favorite).

    Other than that, and learning a few FFVII songs, I haven't played in a while.

    I do have an Ocarina and play it a little, but nothing near as well as I play piano.

    Guitar. I haven't been playing it for an extreamly long time compared to some people but longer than a few people I know. Then again I don't really know many people who play the guitar. Other than that I'm not really that musical unless you count having to be able to reads notation and basic paino. I prefere listening to the great musical talents because it sounds much better than any of the stuff I come out with!

    I view my voice as an instrument, as I have studied singing techniques, like posture and other random things. I like singing, but I've only been doing it for two years. Next year I'll be a junior!
    Life and death are strange things. When you look at your hands, do you think of the lives you give or take with them? Do you feel as if many lives rest upon your shoulders? Or do they end with your hand? Are you a saint? Are you a heathen? Of course not. Existence cannot be defined by such generalizations. We all live in a complex web of life, and affect it in our own ways. When we throw our stone into the water, how big will the ripples be?

    What is truly more powerful and destructive; action, or idleness? Words, or silence?

    I play pretty much any band instrument you can think of (my main ones are flute and trumpet...and no, I'm not gay for being a male flute player. I just know how to get the ladies XD). I also play some acoustic and electric guitar.

    And the pennywhistle.


    Got it memorized?

    Flute, Piccolo, Piano, and I sing. I have a nice guitar I want to learn how to play.

    Flute- been playing for almost 5 years and am pretty good for my age. I was in the All-State Red Band.
    Piccolo- been playing for almost 3 years and am decent at it.
    Piano- been playing since I was a little girl. I can play whatever I please if I have the will power and the time to practice.
    Voice- been singing since I was a little girl. I'm taking voice lessons from an awesome teacher, and that is helping me a lot. I sing in my Church choir.

    I learnt how to play the piano, but if you gave me one today, I wouldn't be able to play it - or I will, but just really badly lol!

    I'm trying to learn how to play a guitar. Its my mums guitar, but she doesn't use it. I thought it was a shame that its glossy wood has only seen light very few times... So I found the "How to play..." book and DVD, and I'm gonna try and learn on my own...

    OH! AND there are days when I can sing if that counts. Other days, I sound bad... My friends are my witnesses. I guess if I want it enough, I can lol...

    I am currently into my second year of Guitar lessons. My teacher is great! It's a lot of fun! I hope to one day learn Piano, and at least a little bit of drums. Learning to play the Violin would be nice, as well.

    Drum's Since I was a wee kiddie
    Under drums I played for a drum line on the snare for Nebraska's all state band.
    Played drums for three bands, 68 Whiskey, Saltt, and Beautiful Vesper (taken over by Byron Armajo)
    Been giving drum lesson's since 8th grade. I started advancing my skills with the Hardcore side and was taught by Casie Bauman who was taught (no lie) by the drummer from As I Lay Dying. Me and Byron Armajo (who tours in Wisconsin with some gig right now) played hours upon hours after football every day my junior year. When I broke my knee my senior year I couldn't really play that often so I started playing acoustic guitar. That's when I got into composing music, since I couldn't wrestle or play football senior year playoffs, I was pretty depressed and started writing music on the lines of Flaw.
    Currently switching from a Tama Acoustic to a Roland Electric. ONly reason is for quietness though.
    Been playing Bass guitar for a while, I like it because I want to play like Korn
    Learning the fundamentals of the Acoustic. Want to learn for music writing reason's.
    Trumpet: Kind of a two year thing, my friend and I were doing it as a joke for his mother, but then I played one day at a VBall game and the girls thought it was funny so I continued.
    Piano, mother taught me on her grand. Haven't really kept at it, was a little rusty last time I played.
    Anything that I can make sounds with I'll compose music from. I can beat box, I always mess around on the cell phone making tunes, and I like to mix.

    Want to learn Violin, I don't care what guy thinks that's gay, when I heard Metallica and Syberian Orchestra together, I wanted to learn ever since.

    My hopeful views on what I'm composing it is to have background sounds like Linkin Park and Spineshank, guitar's sounds like Flaw and Korn, female singer like Amy lee, male singer like chester from LP, and maybe a bit of rapness to it like Limp Bizkit.

    I have taught myself to play the harp a bit, while singing opera along with, and I must say it is really fun.

    At the moment that is the only insturment I play, (Unless you consider your voice as an instrument...)

    Although the hard part about the opera thing is the keeping your voice from dying out. It gets annoying when my voice cracks and breaks when I sing sometimes...

    I used to know how to play the bass guitar, pretty well, actually, but then one day I realized that I really don't want to play an instrument, so I stopped. It's not that I didn't enjoy playing an instrument, it's just that, I didn't like playing an instrument.
