DeepThought
Just for the record, its djembe, not jumbe.. wink

I am teh drummar!

LilMimister006
blink Thats..a LOT of drums and symbol-crashy-thingies. blink confused

happy kine
i used to have a basic drum set, on loan from a friend, that i tried to play... i could get my right foot to play a tap then my left foot a tap then back to the right... if i tried to vary that with the arm things tended to get out of whack. i can play decent with just my arms but using my whole body is hard...
everyone always want to be the singer or the lead guitar but the drummer is the foundation...

DeepThought
Thank you! big grin

happy kine
no prob. i'm musically inclined but i'm not a musician, but if i was a musician i'd rather play the drums... that way i could remain relatively anonymous.

Phoenix
u put a piece of tissue paper over a comb then blow thru it.... it sounds like a kazoo... you can get the same effect with a blade o' grass held between ur thumbs and u blow thru that...

Phoenix
ooh, and the ocarina i play to... it gives a kindas freaky sound, or maybe thats just the way i play it!

julibug
very nice Pearl drums!!!

Captain REX
That's a great drumset, Deep Thought. I'd envy you if I could play the drums...

yerssot
sorry, that's the way we write it here

Baylin
I would love to be able to play drums, but my arms and legs always want to do the same thing! So instead I play guitar, bass, keyboards, a little recorder (Not at the same time!).

julibug
oh come now, not all at the same time?!? roll eyes (sarcastic)

hey! i'm glad we have this music forum!!!!!!!!

Baylin
Well after losing both arms in a freak one man band accident I just dont like to risk it!! laughing out loud rolling on floor laughing

Corran
I can play the Piano, most brass instruments ie french horn, baritone, base (although I find the trumpet a little harder because of the pursing lips thingy), I also play the harmonica, the penny whistle and want to learn the Saxaphone.

I am a guitarest in a yet to be named band

SelphieT
Bass guitar, Double/stand up bass, viola, some guitar, and my throat. Learning piano in about a month or two.

I have some really good band names, but I'm not in a band at the moment. I'm hoping to be in a grindcore, thrashcore, or horror punk/core band eventually.

Nellinator
I play piano and organ, and have switched to keyboards and synths in addition to traditional piano. I also play a little guitar and bass. Not in my band though.

My band is hard rock and metal. We're pretty eclectic varying songs from the epic metal style, to the usual hard rock/metal with industrial influences and straight hard rock with the organ and piano.

Organs are so cool! I wish I knew how to play! Wish I had one....

I rarely use it though. Since it is only practical to use my keyboard live and usually practice with it too.
