Any musicians here?

[Lauen]

now, I don't mean musician as in you've recorded albums or something, I just mean people who can play instruments! 

 

as for me; I've played drums since about october 2009, bought a used kit for about 400 dollars (2400 norwegian kroner) and I've played pretty much every day since, usually an hour. I didn't play to music 'till I had played for about a year, when I was able to play several different rhythms and some pretty basic rudiments at low speed. 

Kit is: a Peace Origin kit, year: rougly 2000,  20x14 bass drum, 10x10, 12x12, 14x14 toms (yes, theyre squared, and sort of hard to place properly) and a 14x5.5 snare, 14 "Roytek" hihat, 16 "Sweetspot" crash, 20" "Harpy B-series" ride. added a new stand for cymbals, and a new snare, 14x6.5 (Pearl, no idea what series it was, it's stainless steel) and Remo heads all around, using some Ambassadors and some Emperors. Remo Pinstripe on the bass drum. I also broke the 16" Sweetspot crah a couple of months ago, it never sounded good anyway. 

 

now I am playing mostly metal, Pagan's Mind, Judas Priest, Megadeth, some Lamb of God, and a few songs by Avenged Sevenfold (Afterlife, Nightmare, Critical Acclaim, God Hates Us, A Little Piece of Heaven) I can also do blast-beats at about 200-210 bpm, judging by George Kollias in one of his blast videos. 

 

I consider myself an average drummer in metal, maybe a little on the slow side. I am not "educated" (I am self taught) by any means necessary, I don't know much about time (all that 4/4 and stuff), I just play, like Gene Hoglan in his early years.

I have played the clarinette for 7 years (8-15 I think). Then I gave up on the clarinette and started playing classical guitar for 4 years until I was 19 and also picked up acoustic and electric guitar along the way. Then I stopped taking classes for classical guitar but carried on playing acoustic and electric guitar (and classical guitar from time to time) until last year when I also picked up piano classes for one year. I progressed pretty quickly but still dropped it after one year because I didn't really have any fun playing the instrument. Now I'm still playing the guitar and next year I'm planning on picking classes for classical guitar again.

Aaaaand as for my guitar collection....

I suppose your name is a reference to Dave Mustaine from Megadeth? :P 

I find that many of my favorite guitarists are self-taught, like K.K Downing from Judas Priest, and he just plays so beautifully, and (at least from what I can tell) he really puts effort and emotion into his solos, like the one in Victim of Changes..

Interesting road to take, going from clarinette to guitar.. But just saying, everyone can have fun with an electric guitar, pretending to be some sort of rockstar (Angus Young, anyone? :D ) but it takes devotion and interest to keep it going.

Truly great. but many can claim this title, there should be a world championship!

Surely everyone would win, doing air guitar you never miss a note unless the CD starts skipping

Ha, true that. It's awesome to just turn up the amp and play some chords that sound good, get some rythm going and get a little creative. 

[techswede]

Bass is seriously underrated!

lol at first two

 

I love banjo, though. definately one of the coolest sounding instruments, IMO. 

I played the so-called Glockenspiel (but we called it klokkespill, as I am norwegian) and I managed to play "Old Mcdonald had a farm", I was super proud, I was like.. 8 :D

i play guitar drum and do a lil vocal every now and then

[MdX MaxX]

Played piano from really young up through middle school.  I'm sad that I've stopped playing, but at least I've still got the strong musical foundation that came with it.

 

I played drums for a little when I was like 7 but never really got into it.  I don't know why, drums are cool.

 

I started the clarinet in 7th grade and am still playing to this day.  More so than the instrument itself, I love the people I've become close to in high school and university through it.  Clarinet section is the best section. :P

 

And I picked up the tenor saxophone at the beginning of the year.  I'm not very musical with it yet, but I'm getting there.

 

Oh, and no matter what anyone says, the computer totally counts as an instrument. http://soundcloud.com/zeta3 ;)

[Cad6500]

Played the drums for about a year and a half now... I currently have a cheap kit, but it's shells are fairly decent.

[Eyal]

My father is a musician, he recorded an albom in 2007 and he is planning to record a new one in the next year or so...

I'm however just into listening... I'm the type of guy that can sit in front of his computer and listen to high quality music for hours... With high end speakers... I have a few headphones, but I don't use them as much because they are not comfortable on my large ears... I use them only when I'm not in front of my PC.

My father is asking me to learn how to operate a studio, so I might get into it in the future... I know someone who is going to teach me...

I used to play violin as a kid for a few years...

[Langdon]

Learned how to play the piano but haven't touched it in a few months. I've gotten really rusty.

I feel like I should continue learning but it's just so difficult for me.

[AraSarkisyan]

Been learning Classical Guitar, Music theory, and music history for about 5 years now.

[Wint3rSh0ck]

Yeah I've been playing guitar for 5-6 years now, self taught. I started just to thrash out some As I Lay Dying and August Burns Red tunes on my 6 string. I grabbed a seven string a few years after starting to play Trivium stuff (from Shogun) and Unearth stuff. For the past year or two I've been pretty slack though. I haven't got much time and I haven't learned anything new for a long time, such is life I guess.

My lovely little collection

[Cs342]

Started piano when I was 5, then moved on to drums at age 11 and then electric guitar and bass at age 14 :)

[zarrexx]

Did my Grade 7 in Piano, going on to do Grade 8 next year, after that finally done after 9 years....

That's a pretty sweet little setup you have there, I'm jealous :P
