Do you play an instrument?

[Big_Lou]

I have an ok retro organ I got at Salvation Army for twenny. Also have a newer moog theremin. I have little to no musical talent but that won't stop me.

Hey I have a theremin! I've also got a pair of sweet vintage melodicas that look sort of like this:



Speaking of interesting instruments, I use this as motivation to begin my morning chores!

(I'm also having this played at my funeral.)

ahhhhh arent you witty lol..
i did the same thing too. im left handed but i learned on a right handed guitar. think it works out better having my good hand on the frets

A fellow lefty? I knew there was a reason. Right on.

Drums. For about 16-17 years now. Was in a few shitty bands, and every once in awhile I get a call for some help with studio work/recording. The pay has always been shit, but it's still one of my favorite things in the world. I'm on ninjam.com - hit me up if you ever want to dick around live. Punk/metal/thrash, whatever you got.

does playing ONE drum count? I play the Arabic Tabla also

Sometime over the winter, I'm stringin' one upside down...Got a bunch of extra DR 10's on sale last year.

 

[Kcbscrogger]

I don't personally but my wife plays the skin flute!

 

[Indagrow]

I play the didgeridoo.. Pretty fucking good too, obviously can circular breath but have made some noises I've even surprised myself with. I can easily talk through it (found out by saying 'droid' like there slogan). I have an authentic yucca piece from oz but to be honest the PVC ones you can get so much more more out of as far as pitch/tone and even loudness. So yeah I blow spit sticks

Nice setup

Yamaha Stage Custom with an extra Tama Superstar floor tom for the boom boom on my snare side. Only playing one rack tom right now but that changes, too. DW double kick. Left handed but play right, well, a mix of both I guess, I have remote hats and keep them on the right side because I find it easier to play the faster, techy stuff. Similar music, actually, lots of punk and thrash and such. But I do love me some good old funk or blues, too. I keep the cymbals on a pearl rack, super cheap, I think around $150 new.

I built the kit over many years, started with the Yamaha shells (5). Bought lots of used stuff except for cymbals, I break them fast enough already. Mostly Z's and K's but some Meinl and Sabian mixed in.

*Steve Gadd Maple snare, and a Pearl Piccolo. I took the wood hoops from the Gadd and put them on the piccolo just to change it up, sounds pretty snappy.

What you guys recommend for strings for finger style? been using elixir but looking to try something new. gotta be coated because can't stand the scratch. Elixir are super smooth to play and they last forever for the price but the tone just isn't what I'm after.
