So, what instrument do you play?

And how long have you been playing?

I play guitar, and i have been for almost 3 years.

I've been playing bass for almost 9 years, though at times it may not show. 

I purchased an electronic drum set in December, but left it at my parent's house while I finish my last few months university.  Though I only have about 1.5 days experience on that kit, I've been playing my practice pad for about 4 months.

Guitar for 3 years or so and bass for half a year. 

Guitar for 6 years.
I pretend to know how to play piano sometimes too.

Violinse is brootal!!!

I play the death rattle and various instruments of [aural] torture.

I also play the trumpet and one day would like to start an extreme death metal Miles Davis tribute band.

I�ve played guitar for about 20 years. Took leasons for the first two, but I�m mostly self-taught. I never had much talent for playing but I�ve composed from day one. I used to play in a death/ doom metal act called Last Abide ( http://www.myspace.com/lastabide), but we disbanded many years ago. Creative differences and that sort of thing. Besides that we simply weren�t good enough on our instruments at the time to get anywhere. It�s quite nostalgic to listen to those samples now and again though. For the last 10 years or so I�ve been working with a friend of mine who plays the synth on a progressive rock project. We might release something someday. You know when there are two mondays in a week. When my kids grow older and I�ll have more time to practice again I might start up a metal project again, but playing most types of metal that I enjoy takes hours of practice every day to learn how to play, so that�s a project for the future when I have more time.

I'm a vocalist (the human voice is an instrument if one wishes to make it so) Have been singing (specifically to progress vocal ability not 'just because I could') for 11 years. Started at 7 still going strong on my journey at 18. Now embarking on prog and jazz vocals, quite testing actually.

Guitar and vocals.

Been playing guitar for five years, heading on six in a few months. I guess I can play some basic bass too.

I used to play the piano but I quit in fourth grade after moving on to a rather boring teacher and environment after moving to the States from Korea. I think I had talent and I wish I could have nurtured my potential for playing the piano .
