Horrendously bad vocals but considering the fact we were all 15 when it was recorded, I look back on the music with nostalgic pride.

Also used to play piano and trombone which again, I miss greatly. Haven't played anything properly for over a decade...

right, nostalgia for the past is something really fun to talk about!
joker song is cool, but if i had to choose i would prefer 'Dream On'

I have an acoustic guitar gathering dust in the corner at home on which I can almost play Yankee Doodle, and I learned some of Yellow Submarine on recorder when I was a kid, but that's it for me.

when i first learned a musical instrument, i learned to play the drums.. and until now i never managed to play it! i learned to play the guitar because i overheard a conversation my ex-girlfriend at the time told his friend that a guy who can play guitar is cooler! LOL

I so wish I hadn�t given up drumming...it�s probably my favorite instrument...and I�m a bit tired of playing the guitar these days...I don�t know what it is, but it just doesn�t give me the satisfaction it used to.

Good thing. There are way too many guitarists out there. Bassists are always on demand.

Yeah, a lot of my childhood friends and adult acquaintances all preffered vertical toms. I like mine so diagonal they're practically horizontal.

Drums...

I started drumming at Christmas 2002. I started drumming seriously for gigging bands in Summer 2003 for four solid years.
I stopped drumming seriously September 2007 after moving country for University. I started seriously drumming again in October 2010 and continue to the present day.




Pearl Export Elx 5 Piece Cobalt Fade + Hardware (12�x9″ Tom, 13�x10″ Tom, 16�x16″ Floor Tom, 22�x18″ Kick)
Pearl Sensitone Steel Snare 14″ x 5″

Plus extra:
Pearl Export Elx Cobalt Fade 14�x11″ Tom
Pearl Export Elx Cobalt Fade 10�x8″ Tom
Pearl Export Elx Cobalt Fade 8�x7″ Tom

Pearl Cowbell.


....And once I finnished collecting the giant kit I realized I like playing a four piece with a ride cymbal where the 2nd tom would be Angry

I only play guitar. Never had a lesson. I can play some Slayer, Bolt Thrower, Carcass, Anthrax, Annihilator, etc etc. So I'm happy about it. Want to practice some more and start a band if I had the time. I had to refuse to start a band with friends because of my study...
But I play guitar for 7 or 8 years now.
