Can you guys play any instruments?

If so, what ones, how long have you been playing for, and how did you learn?

If not, what instruments would you like to be able to play?

Currently teaching myself guitar, but also wanting to teach myself Logic Pro and basic synth. Would love some advice from any of you guys :)

What instruments do you play / want to play?

I have a digital drum kit. It's pretty fun. I'm not very good, but I can keep a beat.

I usually just turn up the speakers and put on some music, and then just play along on the drums.

And by "play along" I mean "I play my own beat, not the actual beat of the song". lol


Maybe one of these days I'll learn to play an actual song, but, for now I'm just having fun. :)



This is the drum kit:

I got two of the 12 inch speakers to use with it (with bluetooth, not shown in video):

I'm better than you, but that doesn't mean you're not great! :)

Started to learn to play drums in year 7 and kept up with it through school. Got to grade 6 (out of 8) by the time I was leaving school but that was more focused on the technical learning & reading sheet music, but a year or so in I got into a band with friends, had a few gigs as well so a lot of that was self-taught, like how to use the double-bass pedal instead of single, learning blast beats etc.

We turned the attic at my mums house into a band practice area :P Luckily my best friend who I grew up with was also the guitarist and lived next door, so his parents could hardly complain about the noise :P

Kinda played less and less past 16/17 years old and over time my drums got just got stacked up out of the way.

I did treat myself to a new electric kit last May when Covid lockdowns were in full swing so since then been pushing myself to get back into playing more regularly :)

Electric kits don't have the same feel, but there's other perks though like being able to tune and modify the sounds of each drum & cymbal which is pretty cool and I like that I can hook it up to my Mac to play along to some old classic metal & rock tracks :)

Piano here.
Just returning to it after a break of 6-9 months.
Was going to learn 'Clair de Lune" but am somewhat disturbed by what appears to be a faded message on the sheet music written in blood.
While im trying to remember wtf that was/is about, I'm going to learn Arabesque#1 instead.
