Played a bit of piano and keyboards, but lately it hasn't really been an interest to me. Might become one if I had a decent instrument but lately my focus has been on guitar stuff.

well guitar is my main thing, I used to play piano/keyboard and I'm not bad at drums, and I can manage pinch harmonics on my mates bass, and very bad off tune jingle bells on a violin

I have a bass but can't really play it.  So just the same as my guitars really.

Apart from that I had a couple of years' piano lessons (totally forgotten how to read music) and a very brief dabble on the recorder in school - I was the best in the class at that but only, I suspect, because everyone else practised even less than I did.

Always fancied having a go at drums but it'll never happen.

I'm mainly a guitar player. I also have a bass but I'm definately not a bass player.

I also play the harmonica. Like the guitar, it is easy to learn but difficult to master.

Piano and Viola, as well as guitar. Been a while, though - my sister now has my viola (she's a violin/viola maker), as I've had no time to keep it up in the past few years. Shame really.

Keep it hardcore, people :D

Been playing the drums for 5 years. I got a Roland kit, but it still manages to wake the neighbours! :oops:
It was only last year that I've only gotten serious with guitars. I also got some keyboards, but I don't really play them.

Whilst "proper" drums may never happen, have you looked at getting yourself a copy of Rock Band or waiting for Guitar Hero 4 to come out? Both games come with a drum kit, so that might satiate your thirst for the moment.  :wink:

Why not? You'll only end up regretting it if you dont give it a go :)

Could always get some V-drums or whatever the roland ones are called so you can play at reasonable volume and take up less space.

I don't think the Rock Band or Guitar Hero kits would cut it, I want that physical experience of being surrounded by drums - the whole Neil Peart thing!  :wink:

V-Drums might be an option, if I ever move house... at the moment I haven't even got room for a snare.  Not cheap though, are they?

I used to love playing my little keyboard, it was quite surprising that I could learn how to play songs faster than I can on guitar. I need to get another one.

And of course the recorder, who doesn't know how to play that? :D

Guitar, bass, button-key accordian, bagpipes, a tiny bit of flute and a smattering of harmonica (which, to me, is just a very small accordian).

Also, I take my obligatory bash at playing the bodrhán as well.

Pretty much Guitar only.

I sometimes play Bass, but I'm not really a bass player - more of a guitarist who occasionally switches to 5 strings to complete his own recordings... ;)

I had Drum lessons & used to play drums quite a lot, but haven't sat behind a kit for nearly 10 years.

Also played Piano as a kid, but gave up taking lessons after a bad skiiing accident, never took it up again, & now I couldn't play if my life depended on it :roll:

I used to be able to bang some drums and also play Wicky & Beer on the tin whistle.  Other than that, I can't even play with myself in time (typical drummer hey  :roll: ).

So yeah, only guitar really and I'm cr@p at that  :cry:
