So, this might have been done before, but how many gamers on the Escapist here also play music? What instrument(s) do you play? What type of music?

*Raises hand*

I play guitar, bass, piano, lyre, mandolin, and vocals if that counts.

And I play everything.

Oh, also. I've been a drummer for a little over 5 years now. I also play a little guitar and sing. I guess high school band counts, so bass clarinet a while back.

Also, I've recently grown into a HUGE metal head, and thats what I've been playing the most recently, though I am the drummer for a methodist church and also play a little gospel, which is always fun.

Aye it was done just the other day... but that doesn't bother me :p Just warning you to buck up for when the search bar nazis come a-knockin.

Yeah I'm a vocalist, guitarist, drummer and bassist. I'm also a bit of a pianist aka: penist :p

I'm a drummer and I mainly play death metal; mostly the more melodic stuff. My band is going to play the song below at the school show next week... It will be interesting to see people's reactions.

I want to learn to play the Bass I own, but anything outside of video games I have trouble putting tons of time and effort into unfortunatly. I also like to sing, and am trying to determine if it is any good. (I would never want to be one of those people who thinks they sing better than they do and makes a fool of themselves on say, American Idol).

hahha wow! I didn't expect this much of a turn out already.

and so many drummers! I love the fellow skin slammers...I just wish there were more musicians around my area, we have absolutely NO music scene anymore :(

And thanks for the heads up ethaninja, I'll try not to let them nazis burst into my attic and steal my diary.

I'm rhythm guitarist in a rather well established band (although I can hold my own playing them greek scales) and I can also play the piano. I stick to heavy rock and metal mostly, although I have played some classic and neoclassic, as well as blues, jazz... Pretty much anything that can be played with a six stringer, I've indulged in.

Piano, I typically play moody classical such as Chopin. I have lately been learning some pieces from Miyazaki movies.

I play drums and guitar but if I had to choose one instrument it would be the drums of course. My drum playing has come to a halt unfortunately because I don't have a good drumset at the moment.

Still trying to find my style. I've played some Muse songs and SOAD but they are a bit challenging. Bullet for my Valentine sounds cool enough even though I'm not really into that music genre.

These past few years I've been keeping myself sane by teaching myself bass - lots of proggy rock and metal stuff. Just got myself a HUGE new amp with my last student loan installment (a totally acceptable use of the money, honest!)and am slowly collecting pedals with the hope of doing some trippy solos at open mic nights and such. I have some other stuff that I'm hoping to turn into full songs once I graduate, more as a hobby and vanity project than anything else!
