Any musicians here?

[projectMayhem]

I was just wondering what, if any, instruments you guys play. I play drums.

[LordSlaytan]

I've been known to blow a mean kazoo. Then he kicked my ass, so I had to quit. :(

[Revenge of Mr M]

:laugh:

[Piddzilla]

I play drums and guitar.

[kool_moo]

i get to be the weird classical music guy.. YAY!!! I play the violin and pretty good if I say so myself :) AND VIOLIN IS NOT A GIRL'S INTRUMENT!!!! :furious:

[projectMayhem]

Hey man Violins don't have to be just classical. If you've ever heard of the band Yellowcard, they are a punk band that uses violin heavily in their music.

[moviefan20]

I sing and play the keyboard/piano

[Herod]

I play the bongos and blues harmonica in a band.
As for freelance, I'm pretty capable at the Jew's harp.

And I can hum, really well.

I'm very sorry. Just a bit of fun.

[moviefan20]

Slay-it's ok (hey that rhymes!!!) Just took my defense incase you were trying to say something. No worries.:D

[Monkeypunch]

I used to play the drums, but I broke my arm, and it hurt way too much to play even after the cast came off, and I wasn't going to be able to get any better, so I had to stop.

(Also, Why is Kool_Moo advertising "Win an MP3 player and the movie SWAT? Is there a rule against posting spam around here? Just wondering...)

[shooot.em.down.]

well, i play the paino, and i would play the guitar as well, but i cant as i am physically unable to HOLD it.

i know how ya f*cken feel mate, with the arm and all.

[projectMayhem]

That sucks about the arm, man. If that happened to me i don't know what i'd do b/c i love playing drums so much.

[zelig]

i play the drums and all sorts of percussive instruments, like udu, gongas, bongos,djembe,tamburine,shaker...

udu is my main percussive instrument. it´s a african claypot and you make a sound by controlling the air movement between two holes. if someone was wondering.

i play rock,progrock, jazz, and all the suff in between...:D

[Golgot]

Nother drummer here (sort of - got a fairly ****ty pearl beginners kit really, massive evil rims, very bad if you get carried away and use your palms)

i just started a scrappy sort of thread bout drummin and semi-muso musings if you wanna hav a look. (i'm not writin scrappily coz i'm a drummer by the way, u other musos, s'coz i'm lazy :p)

[undead_bunny]

Guitar, 5 years. Bass, 7 months. I love my instruments. :D

[AboveTheClouds]

Drums 10 years.
Air Guitar/Air Bass 15

[Blister]

I play guitar.

Is there any other left handed guitarists out there??? *echos*

[gummo]

We have enough for a MoFo orchestra :)

I play guitar. (right handed) I own an electric, classical, and an acoustic. I mostly play the acoustic right now because I got it for my last birthday and I am still breaking it in.

[chicagofrog]

hei, don't forget my zither and singing!
:)

[gummo]

I can't forget your zither and singing, I heard your stuff and I like it a lot. It reminds me of a cross between The Cure and King Crimson.

[chicagofrog]

thanx Gummo. i just received my homestudio so as soon as i getta understand how it all works, i may be able to record (and send to my friends!) more and NEW songs!!
:)

[undead_bunny]

Alas, there is another lefty out there. *hugs indead_bunny in a non gay way (if the person is a guy)*

It's all sounding good man. You've definitely got that Radiohead feel running through it. Natty effects in there and everything.

But when are you going to introduce the alternative sports and shopping channels? ;)

[MovieMaker5087]

Drummer and piano player here.

I'm having a fantastic time with this project. Still getting all the members together, meeting a keyboard player today!

Shopping channels, introductory sugar mounding, blimp riding and not forgetting the ice cream baby contest!

Soooo much fun!

:D

[blibblobblib]

I can play the Fararnzee and the Spoons.

[joshuafor]

Guitar. Been picking it up a lot more recently.

[Sedai]

Why sure, I'm into music :)

Mostly play guitar, but started on drums when I was five. Through the 90s I was pretty serious about it and gigged around Boston for a number of years playing lead guitar for an acid-rock-ish band, Brain Forest. Yes, Brain Forest, and we wondered why we couldn't get A&R people to look at us....

I have about an albums worth of original material from then, but those songs are all done at this point. Just recently I have started recording some ideas again with the old lead singer/writer in the band, and we have some cool stuff coming along slowly, which I will post when it is finished...

Also play bass, sing harmony vocals and spin records/cds/files. I spin mostly psychadelic trance as far as the electronic music goes.

[SamsoniteDelilah]

I have played piano and flute (not at the same time) in the past, and done a lot of singing.

We should form a MoFo Band. :D

[Uncle Rico]

I play guitar adn Piano. I play and sing at a local Arabica Coffe House from time to time. Ive written two songs so far. PM me if youd like to read the lyrics.

[Strummer521]

I play guitar but not in a band. Well except the one at school that plays music at mass. That's right Catholic School.

[Revenant]

Revs brother here, taking advantage of the empty seat by the keyboard as Revs is out of the room for a minute. I am a modest but excellent drummer, a modest but crap guitarist, and a modest but totally ****e singer!

I also play the fool, a much maligned and underrated imstrument! ;) also not sure how to work the smilies, haven't posted on a discussion board for ages so if they're wrong it means i suck at this too! :p

And where the hell is he hiding Rev?

[SpoOkY]

whew can't believe I haven't seen this thread before. I play heaps of intruments:

Clarinet
Bass Clarinet
Saxaphone
Guitar
Piano
Bass Guitar
A bit of Cello

I'm so obsessed with music at the moment; listening, creating and maybe even singing (we'll see). I'm probably best at piano and Clarinet as I've done them the longest and can improvise pretty well. I've been thinking of joining a jazz act at a local jazz club because I'm loving playing Jazz piano but maybe in about a year once I'm more experienced :).

Once you feel ready...go for it! there is probably no better way to improve yourself as a musician than by playing in a band.

[SpoOkY]

thanks man....maybe in 6 months then :p. It's harder though because everyone working there is experienced and I've been asked to try out but I've looked at some of the stuff they play and I'm almost there. Trouble is that as soon as I join they'll want me to play the next weekend so i really have to ready. Thanks for the support though :D

[Tacitus]

I sang with a band for 5 or 6 years in my late teens-early 20s. We started out at uni, where I met the bass player - his 3 mates were looking for a singer so I oblidged. :)

We played live regularly and recorded a couple of EPs, but they were only sold at gigs and through some local record shops. I guess we were 'known' on the Indie scene in the North of England for a while - mainly through association with our mates, who were in a much bigger and better band called Verve (2 of the guys had gone to art college with a couple of Verve's members).

Verve became The Verve because of a lawsuit with the record company of the same name and went on to release a million selling album and a few hit singles, then split. We, on the other hand, went on arguing over 'musical direction' (they wanted to be Pearl Jam, I wanted to be Scott Walker), got jobs to suppliment our meagre income and ended up playing Student bars alongside such talents as The Space Alligators and Chunk... :rolleyes:

Then I married the then-delightful Mrs T (who wasn't a bad singer herself, she did a 2 month residence in a Cologne Nightclub singing Brecht & Weil type numbers), moved away and went back to college to finish any education that was left in me. Domesticity, kids, mortgages and fights gradually followed.

I come from a musical family - dad was a player in the '60s Belfast R&B scene that spawned Van Morrison and my big brother's band was regularly played on John Peel's radio show (as we were, once), yours truly was the runt of the litter. I play guitar (badly), piano (averagely) and can blast out a mean reel on the tin whistle.

My last experience of singing in front of an audience didn't end too well. Just me and a guitar sitting in the corner of a pub in Omagh, strumming a few tunes to keep the early evening punters from leaving before they started charging on the door and jacked the price of the beer up. It was awful. I didn't have a band behind me, someone to laugh with when we hit a bum note, someone to hide behind when the song didn't go down too well. It wasn't, in other words, fun.

Anyway, I forgot the words to most of the set and ended up singing American Pie 3 times before ending to the sound of a few people clapping. No fun. If I was a comedian, that'd be called dying on your arse...

Well, ladies and gentlemen, that's a potted life history. I'm getting better at posting personal stuff. :)

[Piddzilla]

My musical history is similar to Tacitus' actually. I played in a indie rock band in the middle of the '90s. We recorded two EPs (of which only one was released) and one full length album. I played drums at first but had switched to bass in time for the last EP that was never released. Things weren't too good in the band in terms of chemistry between the band members but an american major label had showed some interest in us and wanted to hear more. So we pulled ourselves together for that last recording, but it didn't cut it for the big shot guys "over there". So I got tired of that **** and quit - it wasn't worth it.

Now I am a member of another band, playing drums again. But we're about to quit this one too. But this time it's not because we're not having fun together - that part we've got covered. Now it's because we're all going in different directions in our lives. I, for instance, have been working and studying full time this past semester and the singer is going to America for a month and then to France for one semester in the fall.

Now I'm primarily focusing on my own stuff. I play everything myself and record it on the digital porta I finally bought. I don't have the slightest idea if anyone else would like what I'm doing but I'm having lots of fun doing it. And I actually think the result is decent too.

So, in other words: I play drums and guitar (as well as bass guitar). I also own an organ which I use when I record sometimes but I would never say "I play the organ". And I sing.

[Revenant]

I admire your courage! :p

I would but at the moment i am PC-less, so i can only get online when Revs is logged in. :D

I am also moneyless, carless, decentjob less, timeless, sadly not ageless or alwaysknackeredless :eek: :p

I suspect it may be some time before i am online properly so you'll have to put up with my inane ramblings in small doses for now, but ta for the vote of confidence in my funability :D:D

[led_zeppelin]

guitar and drums for me. 3 years-guitar 2 years-drums

Maybe you should try to put some of it on the net and find out. ;)

[hazii82]

i have been playing the piano for 11 years now, I can play the drums but I rarely do, I tired to play the trumpet but gave that one up.

[Piddzilla]

Maybe you should try to put some of it on the net and find out. ;)

I probably will sometime in a couple of months. Don't have a slightest idea how the hell that works though but I'm sure someone around here will help me.

[chicagofrog]

so when do we start a band?
