Share yours here!

I've started drumming three years ago. I proceeded into double bass drumming five months later. I haven't attended any lessons but I usually watch tons of drum tuts in YouTube as well as some DVD's of Mike Portnoy and Thomas Lang. I have taken a very huge break for more than one year due to academic demands but my skills have improved after a very long hiatus. I am now playing solo in a studio since my band's no longer active anymore.

Piano/keyboards mainly. Fourteen years of that.

Also a couple years here and there of the following:
Trumpet
French Horn
Guitar (Jazz/Classical styles mainly, with a bit of rock on the side)
Also currently receiving some vocal training.

Casually, I've picked up a few drum skills using my brother's kit as well, but no formal training in that regard.

Currently active with two different bands in the area, and writing material for a third band of my own creation, although it's going rather slowly with my other obligations at hand.

Vocals mostly (Musical + choral first, for about 3 years, then trained in the bel canto style for about 4 years), plus I know how to play most orchestra percussion and orchestral xylophone - though those skills are a bit rusty since I haven't had a chance to practise since I only had those instruments to practise on in high school. :/

I PLAY GUITARS

Yeah, I'm no good at it, and my rig is a POS, but I do dabble in the art of seriously rocking out hard.

I play a little trombone, a little piano/keys, and even more little electric & bass guitar.

I use a mouse to draw notes in music sequencing software, also. I figure that counts for something D:

Trumpet in school since 7th grade (this is my 5th year playing)

If someone would teach me, I'd like to play the guitar &/or drums.

Piano/keyboard (just beginner stuff) and drums (I still remember even if I haven't played on a real set for years).



Granted, I do want to learn how to do some DJ stuff (like turntables, beatmatching and stuff).

I don't want to depend on using Ableton too much so I gotta learn the traditional ways as well.

I play a lot of different percussion instruments. Considering the vast number of ethnic percussion instruments that are out there, I can't say that I play everything, but I play just about anything you could think of off the top of your head. The largest ones that I own are a marimba and an electronic drumset that I just got, but I also play everything from tambourine to the djembe.

This semester I'm in a symphonic band, a symphonic orchestra, and hopefully a stage musical, taking lessons on classical percussion like snare and xylophone, and I play marimba and afro-cuban percussion for modern dance classes twice a week. Hopefully I can squeeze some drumset lessons in there as well. I am also taking piano class, though I wouldn't consider myself to be very good at it.

I don't know how much it counts for, but in school I've been taking some kind of singing class for about 5 years total, so there's something

Nothing else
