Do you play an instrument?

Hey guys! Do you play an instrument? If so, tell us what it is in the comments and try to attach a video/audio clip of you playing! I play percussion (mostly drumset) and piano. I’ll try to attach a clip later.

I can play the piano and keyboard. I used to play the clarinet but I broke the reeds all the time so I stopped. :slight_smile:

#3

I used to play the trombone in 5th grade. Unsure if I can still do so…

#4

Same here. I quit in 6th grade because:

1: I realized I couldn’t read music
2: My teacher was an ass.

#5

Learnt violin in primary school (Years 5-6 I think, age 10 to 11), but didn’t enjoy it really. Had to learn specific bits of shit music so I wasn’t motivated to practice. Quit before the end of year 6. Still can’t read sheet music, but who needs that shit? :stuck_out_tongue:

Spoiler

At practice, with a broken leg at the time. 3/4 size bass because I was too short to play a full size one. Hah.

At this point, a friend of mine had started learning guitar. Going to high school, he suggested I learn to play bass so we could form a band and go along to the school rock club where they put on a gig at the end of every year. Basically a social gathering of musicians.

So I learnt bass for a few years, then got interested in learning guitar. Tried it, ended up only playing bass in any band I was in. If I wasn’t in a band, I would always choose guitar instead and I enjoyed it more - you can piss around, improvise, learn more complicated things etc.

One of the gigs we did. No idea where. Assuming this was still when I had a broken leg, judging by the fact that I’m still sat down.

Never done a single exam for guitar or bass, I’ve just learnt songs that I’ve liked. Makes it way more enjoyable. I currently have 4 guitars. Details for those interested:
Encore 3/4 size bass (no idea the model. Based of a Fender precision bass.)
Epiphone G400 SG Cherry Red
Epiphone Matthew Kichii Heafy Les Paul Custom
Marina by Farida acoustic (Again, I don’t know the model.)

As for recordings I have these I suppose. Recorded recently. A friend of mine is recording vocals for the Don Broco cover, so that is currently a work in progress. I might fix up some of the guitar mistakes too yet.

Then, these were recording a mixing tests. Again, far from perfect as they were done relatively quickly without any sort of multiple instrument or track layering like there is in the Don Broco cover, just the original song in the background for the A Day to Remember cover.

I have other covers on YouTube, but I can’t bring myself to listen to many of them as I notice the mistakes…
These two are alright I guess. No idea why the second one is so quiet though.

I finished all 6 years of music school for the piano and the flute at the same time when i was 13. Then i got into percussions so i started music school for that too and finished it 4 years later then i started to play acoustic guitar (self taught). Meenwhile started playing the electric guitar and bass…

I know how to play ze drums.

I won’t say percussion, as I was too lazy to want to learn marimba, xylophone, vibrophone, etc…

However, I have a 20 year old Tama

And I also have a few year old Mapex kit
