Who here plays/wants to learn an instrument?

And then discuss and share your videos or photos of your instruments c:

I play the drumkit. I have a Premier kit, with a Zildjian hi-hat and China cymbal, and an unbranded crash cymbal and a ride. :3 And a spare hi-hat XD
So that makes it... 9 piece? Yeah.

Do you play an instrument?
What songs can you play?

I don't play an instrument, but I want to play the Saxophone.
I used to play the recorder, though.


It's my birthday. Deal with it.

Re: Who here plays/wants to learn an instrument?

Cool, I used to play keyboard, piano and organ (though it IS basically the same, xD) but I gave up. It wasn't hardcore enough XD Loljk. But still; I'd love to learn the electric guitar. I played acoustic for a little while but then I sold my guitar. :C

About half a year now. It's not hard at all. In fact, electric has a slightly thinner neck and thinner strings so it's easier than acoustic. if you do get an electric, buy a stratocaster :]

All kinds (snare, timpani, bass). Well, I don't own them, but my band teacher does. I can play band songs and some songs like "Dream On" (which has a really neat bell part), and most Beatles songs. Sometimes I have to alter a trumpet part for baritone :3 (I can play these songs on both :3).

I dunno. Pshychic?

Ah. My friend has an Emily the Strange electric guitar; and my other friend has a Les Paul.
I'll bear that in mind. I was gonna just get a lamey one from my local music shop, seeing as it's only £80 XD
Then again, my drumkit was only £60. |:
The ride & crash cost more than the entire kit Dx

I'm American so i don't know how much 80 euros is. It's like $150, right?
Mine was a gift for my birthday, but it's a Mexican stratocaster...not an authentic, those can cost around $1000 or more :I

A Les Paul would be good too, I've kinda wanted one of them. 4 knobs and 3 pickups as opposed to 3 knobs and 3 pickups...

Re: Who here plays/wants to learn an instrument?

I used to play the drums, but I stopped a couple of months ago, because I was so terrible, even after about a year of non-stop practicing >_<
I sort of taught myself to play keyboard, but I can only play a few songs so far. Considering I only started about two weeks though, it's fair to say I'm much better at learning keyboard than drums XD

I tried doing that, but it didn't work :c
I really liked drumming, much more than keyboard, but I just couldn't get the hang of it at all ;_;

I play piano (started around 6-7) and saxophone (started in 3rd grade), but I mostly only play classical songs.

Re: Who here plays/wants to learn an instrument?

I mainly play the piano, but I also know how to play a recorder, too.

Mostly I play classical piano pieces, but sometimes I'll try to find sheet music for some of my favorite songs or games and play those (or I'll attempt at trying to transcribe it myself if no such sheet music exists!); I'm currently trying to learn "Still Alive" from Portal, I'm finding the synchronization for the melody and harmony rather tricky.  hmm

Haha, sounds like Albertt911; he plays songs like the Tetris theme song for exams and such x3
I'd link you to a good sheet music site I found, but I've lost the link D:
It was a MASSIVE library of printable sheet music for modern songs.
