Status: offline 		Intersting thread.

I used to play gigs about 8 years ago as a drummer.  I still have the kit which is built around Tama Starclassic Performer toms, a home made 24x22 Keller maple shell bass with Tama hardware and a Pearl brass floating snare.  All Tama hardware, including the Air-Ride snare stand and Sabian AAX Stage cymbals.

I kinda play bass and have a Fender "Mexican" P-Bass with an SWR 4x10 bass stack.  I can't setup my drums at my current home and the bass rig is too loud so I hack a few chords on a Hohner dreadnought and a Continental classical.

Status: offline 		I'm really out of shape these days, but I "play" the Trumpet (Strad and a super old Conn cornet), Steel Drums (Seconds/Tenor) and I'm a classically trained singer. I also experimented with the French Horn and a few others during my crazy college days...

Hands down the coolest "instrument" ever created.



Would suit me perfectly I reckon.
No chords or anything to learn, just play by feel.

Status: offline 		Well? Or just enough to knock out a ditty or two?

I play the drums (rock/metal/double kick drum) well. I was in a death metal band in the UK when I was younger. Not famous or anything, but we were decent.

Other instruments I play badly, but have had at least 'some' formal training in...

Classical drums (Timpani, march, etc)
Oboe (was the first instrument I learned, took it to grade 4, probably wouldn't be able to get a note out of one these days, haven't played since I was 12!)
Guitar (just the basic cords and a few riffs, I wanted and started to learn but never realised how difficult it was, gave up after a few months, but can still play wild thing and the theme from the movie 'snowman'. lol)
Piano, grade 3, just enough to not look terrible. lol.
I also did theory to grade 4 and can read sheet music (barely, not actually fast enough to be able to play as I read, but still, I can work out what a tune is like from the sheet music, given enough time)

Music is actually really hard. Really, really hard. I have incredible respect for those who are very good at playing their instruments. I wouldn't even have learned what I've learned if I didn't go to boarding school and had nothing else to do with my time.

Status: offline 		got 3 electric guitars that I suck at playing(proanti prolly looks like a pro next to me ). For some reason I just can't get fingering down pact.
one(Harmony H19 that's been modded by a past owner) has been sitting half painted(needs a coat or 2 or paint, and clear coat) for half a year due to the temp plummeting before I could finish it last year, and haven't had time yet this season to finish it plus the weathers been EXTREMELY loopy here 50 one day 90 the next, and plummets back to 60s so planning a few days to paints almost impossible till it stabilizes some. If the last owner of it didn't modify, and route out the pickup area(along with break off the name plate) I could have sold it easily for $900 . I also have to finish its new finger board that I started. Just have been side tracked with other issues.

I think the Bach Strad is the same thing as a Silver Flair. Does it have a trigger or saddle for the 1st valve slide? And i'm going to post pictures of my trumpets later, once i got em all polished up (as best as I can get them LOL)

Status: offline 		Guitar for me - I have three. Epiphone SG, Fender POS acoustic, and my baby a 1968 Ovation Thunderhead (it is an Ovation electric) man that things plays nice. something like this.... Also, I had one of the first 10 Ovation acoustic guitars ever made, unfortunately when I was at college the wood on the guitar finally gave out and tore the guitar apart . My grandfather used to work with Charlie Kaman building helicopters and it was during this time he was giving multiple prototypes to try. I am so sad I do not have that guitar more but it is what it is.
My amp is a Peavey Bandit 112 - decent sound but nothing great and I have a Boss GT-8 pedal board. It is pretty sick.
