[Mala Tha Testa]

Just being curious.
List any/all instruments you play.


I play keyboard/synth, and mess around on the mandolin.

[Lynx]

I used to play the trumpet.

[Revolutionary Youth]

I've been playing guitar for 3 months! Currently a member of my school's guitar club!:D
Unfortunately, I'm still a rookie...

[Invincible Summer]

I play bass guitar and piano.

Well, I suppose I used to. Haven't touched either in a few months.

[F9]

[Devrim]

I can play Saz, fiddle, and harp. Of course, I can also play guitar.

Devrim

[which doctor]

saxophone and a tiny bit of keyboard

[Mala Tha Testa]

In sixth grade I played a bit of saxophone as well, but quickly lost interest.

[Leo]

I mainly play the accordion, have played numerous percussion instruments in the past and still play the bodhrán occasionally and a tiny bit of flute and tin whistle.

[ls]

I can play Saz, fiddle, and harp.

All great instruments, especially the saz is one you don't hear too often and it has a superb sound.

Keyboard, bass and kinda drums myself.

[Sarah Palin]

I've played the guitar for 5 years and I mess around on the synthesizer

[st.bede]

I have been playing guitar professionally for many years...I also play keys pretty well, and have good synth programing chops and good engineering chops...plus a few other related music areas..

[Angry Young Man]

Mongolian nose flute

[Bilan]

Guitar. Over it.

[Hit The North]

I am a turntablist.

[butterfly]

Keys for ten years and a little alto sax.

[Angry Young Man]

I am a turntablist.

That's not an instrument. I have an mp3 player: does that make me an mp3ist?

[Hit The North]

That's not an instrument.

PHILISTINE! Have you heard DJ Shadow?


I have an mp3 player: does that make me an mp3ist? Yes.

[butterfly]

So long as you tap it on something

[Skin_HeadBanger]

Guitar and bass guitar. Used to play trumpet, but just found it boring.

[RainingSkies]

I play the guitar, keyboard and a little bit of bass guitar.

[wickedrevolution]

Guitar. Guess i might be an mp3ist too:laugh:

[RedGvape]

I play Guitar, Bass, and play Bass Drum and Snare Drum in my school's drumline

[Angry Young Man]

I should have laid on more pressure as a child to learn the violin.

[manic expression]

As soon as you can pull something like this off:

It takes years and years to be a good turntablist and it is true art when you get to that level.

[Angry Young Man]

Ay and all that practise could go to learning the guitar.

[Leon Alston]

I play Violin, Viola, and the 'Cello.
Conduct orchestras and run musicals.
Violin at AMUSA level, Viola and 'Cello at Grd6.

While the DJ was skilled, I found it pointless, dull, and repetitive. Sorry if that offends...

[manic expression]

Ay and all that practise could go to learning the guitar.

Yeah, but different people like different instruments, so it's a matter of culture and taste (and purpose, you can't play a guitar and get a bboy battle going right!). Anyway, I'm just saying turntablism is an intricate and unique artform all its own.


While the DJ was skilled, I found it pointless, dull, and repetitive. Sorry if that offends...

Well like I said, it's a matter of taste so no offense taken. However, I should have noted that hip hop DJing has many other contexts, too:

If you listen to the original version of the first song ("Up from the South" by the Budos Band), it's much, much different from how the DJ cuts it for the battle (and IMO it's better here). Also, the DJ is responding to the bboys throughout the battle, putting on tracks and cuts which match their energy level and flow, kind of like how a conductor influences the direction of an orchestra depending on the situation.

Oh, and I used to play the cello and the djembe but I stopped both...cello because I got tired of it, djembe because I ran out of money for lessons and then went off to school. Tried bass guitar for a bit before going to college, too. Hopefully I can pick one or two back up sometime in the future.

[Bad Grrrl Agro]

Guitar (preferably acoustic), harmonica, vocals.

I used to play mandolin and bass

I've experimented with trying to learn the banjo and the key board.

... But banjo and I really didn't work well together.

[LeninBalls]

I play didgeridoo, piano and bass guitar. Well I guess you could say I used to. My bass has been in fixing in a shop for several months now and I don't have the cash/motivation to pick it up, I was a mighty fine bassist when I had it though.

Piano, I'm ok at but I only play it every other day or so. I used to be a whore for my didgeridoo but now it just sits in my corner and I blow into it whenever I'm waiting for a loading time in a video game to finish or something, although I busk with it ocassionally.

Hippy.

[pastradamus]

I play a mean triangle! :laugh:

[Mala Tha Testa]

I am a turntablist.

I've always been extremely interested in turntablism.
But I've never really had the dough to buy one.
Plus, I might be planning to buy one, then turn around and blow all my money on a bunch of shit.

[LOLseph Stalin]

I wish I could play an instrument. I'm pretty much musically challenged.

[Magdalen]

I'm a decent fiddle player, but I'm useless when it comes to classical music, which I haven't played since school. I also inherited a set of uilleann pipes recently, but there don't seem to be many teachers in my neck of the woods.

[MarxSchmarx]

The tenor saxophone and the blues harp.

I also know how to play the internationale on the piano.

[Black_Flag]

Bass guitar and a bit of ukulele.

[kbjami]

I play guitar

[Pinko Panther]

I play guitar, piano, cello, string bass, and I'm learning the trumpet. Trumpet is by far the hardest instrument for me.

[gorillafuck]

I play guitar and occasionally ukulele

[SA-Sovietfriend]

I can play a bit guitar, metallica etc.

[Dóchas]

i can play the triangle!!!! :D

i used to play the guitar but i gave it up i just didnt have the time to practise

[SA-Sovietfriend]

Me too Comrade, that's my problem as well...
No time to practise these days, working in the day till 6 pm... :thumbdown:

[TheCultofAbeLincoln]

I play the drums, as in a drum set. I should branch out though, been thinking about adding some congas :)

Though I haven't been able to play too much lately. Had to move the baby back from the practice space a little while ago to my friends house, and every fucking time I begin to play the cops show up within 15 minutes, without fail. So I have play with pads on them but it just ain't the same :(

But hey, I need to drop some money on new heads and a new high-hat stand (from now on if someone is drunk and approaches my set they are going to get a drumstick through the eye) so it'll be a while anyway.

Also, I used to play saxophone back in middle school and freshmen year, and when I get some serious income I am definitely going to buy a sax.
