Are you a musician?

My tool of choice is the drums. Don;t have a kit anymore but would love some of those V-Drums for sure. 2nd instrument is keyboard and after that I play a little bit on the guitar.

First instrument was piano from an early age. Then I got a set of drums which the neighbours loved, so I sold them.

Then something called Akai sampler and Atari ST come along. Still play a lot of piano to relax and keep my fingers supple for turntablism

The only other thing you would need is like an alesis DM5 or a some kind of drum module.

Or you could use a Drum VSTi or sampler on a PC… Interesting…

[quote quote="squiffy":1kdz5jlf]Singer – Tenor. I’ve sung in a choir at the Royal Albert hall. Still the biggest gig I’ve ever done…

That is pretty cool, do you still sing much? The biggest gig I ever did was when I performed with my colleges Jazz Band at the University of Florida other than that it’s been small clubs/bars and house parties with my old band Ard-Ri( translation: HIGH KINGS it’s celtic).

It’s been a while… I bought myself a diaphragm mic the other day, so I should be recording my own vox again.

The last band I was in was a punk band based in Slough, but I got kicked out for going to Fabric and not getting any sleep the night before a gig. I was so spangled by the time the gig came round I forgot most of the words, so I made them up. I thought it was fookin’ hilarious, but I was in a minority!

bass guitar, drums, and piano

i´m a bassplayer from way back, 20 years or so. I also play some guitar, drums/percussion and very litte keys as well, thats about it.

Started off playing cello – 11 years
self-taught piano – 3 years
drum kit – 3 years
african drums (Djembe is the primary weapon of choice) – 2 years
Sing (alto) – 6 years
oboe – 1 year
bass guitar – 2 years
berimbau – 1 year :cheese:

Ive been playing the keyboard for about 8 years already .I play alittle but of ghuitar and drums about 2 years

I didnt play anything just self-learning piano. I learned basics and now i keep practising

A play the drums, but don’t use them for any production. A used to be in a few bands with mates and stuff but that’s about as serious as a got with it. Taught maself everything a know about drumming. At 1st a heard about a paradiddle and a was like a para did what?

But took me about a month to figure out how to do 1

Av also played with guitars, bass guitars, piano, banjo & even the recorder!

Great post Mr C, Nice to see it bumped back up…

I can play the pretty well – a Lebanese drum that produces a wonderful sound.

I can play the Keyboard, Piano, played abit of Guitar also the Drums, The Triangle and the Gong can’t be hard to play can it!?!?!? lol

Thing is i think my fingers are too broad due to playing bass and cello (i’ve got callouses on my finger tips).

To be brutally honest, the guitar was a wrong choice. If your fingers are broad the Bass (or any other ‘thick’ stringed instrument) is almost a perfect match.

Seriously, practice will help you, but you will be restricted by the broadness of your fingers to play Lead. Rythym should be good.

Great thread! Suprised I didn’t see it before.

I have played guitar six or seven years now but I don’t play it as much as I want to these days.
Right now im practicing on learning keyboard/piano better and I love it. Just need to buy a better Master Keyboard now
