Someone else probably already made a thread about this, but what instruments do we all play?

My axe of choice is a plain ol' 5-piece drum kit, with crash and ride cymbals, and the addition of a shiny Stagg double bass pedal and a cowbell.

[Amber-Nicole]

Hmm. I used to play the clarinet...in 6th grade...

[Heccubus]

Drums, keys, a teensy bit of guitar, and I mess with electronic stuff.

If Hecc can say Guitar, i guess i can too. that's the closest i come to being able to "play" a legitimate thing.

And bongoes, Reader. I'd say you can play the bongoes.

I confess. From time to time i like to rock the bongos.

*insert weird mouth noises and wacky arm gesticulations insinuating bongo rockage*

That one electronica song with the bongo's at the end - Is it really as mind-blowing as everyone says it is? Or are they just trying to make me feel better?

That reminds me, I have this little African drum thing that I bought in France a decade or so ago. I learned how to vaguelly play it about a year or two ago.

...I play the xylophone for band.

And I suck.

I play the theremin (see my new avatar, I know my drawing sucks!) with delay pedals, but I wouldn't call myself a real musician. I just like to mess around and create weird sounds.

[srmoore]

Sweet the theremin!

Where did you get one? (Did you have to build it yourself?)

I used to screw around with all sorts of electronic stuff... including using
multiple effect pedel/devices and feed-back loops with no actual instruments. AlthoughI can play a little keys.. and supposedly was learning to play the guitar.. till I broke my nut! (sorry... just couldn't resist.. but the "nut" that holds the strings in place at the top of the neck is broken)

One day when I have my own place again, I'll be able to take all that stuff out of storage and play once more.

Anyone who plays the xylophone (or timpani or marimba etc) is cool with me!! Be in my band!!

[Despondent]

Janey, you play xylophone? you rock!

I got a portable bergerault 3.5 octave a couple of years ago. I'm learning the keys, but not at the rate I'd like. I've dispelled guitar chords which I arpeggiate. 2, 3 and 4 mallets depending.

I play upright percussion. Cocktail drum with kick pedal, congas, bongos, snare (just got a 10" pd export which I love,) chimes, hi hat, splash, crash and a 20" dark ride. Toys, thunder drum, shakers, guiros and other stuff. play with brooms, brushes, mallets, sticks, rods and hands. Just about to leave for rehearsal right now. I'm using more hardware so's snare, conga and ride all mount on one stand which is nice.

going to atlanta tomorrow for the finn brothers show. An online friend from Nashville who plays and I plan to jam while waiting at the door. nice thread.

lots of percussionists I see. I knew Hecc plays. Oh yeah- when the clock struck 1/1/2000 I went nuts ringing in the new year.

[Chefelf]

Bass, guitar, piano, drums (just enough to get by).

Here's some of me and K1NGWARREN's music for download if anyone is interested:

Good ol' Reverser.
Good thing you posted that, Chefelf, I lost my Reverser MP3s when my old computer died. Never remembered to ask for them again.

[Reader]

I'd like to revive this thread in one way or another...

All musicians: what songs do you like to jam on? were you particularily proud of any song you managed to be able to play or figured out on your own etc?
