What Musical Instrument(s) Do You Play?
« on: July 18, 2009, 12:40:33 PM »
Eh, what's up, Doc?  This is Hector.  As a musician and songwriter, I like to write music for Salsa orchestras and play musical instruments.  To answer the subject question, I play a variety of Latin percussion instruments, but the main instruments that I play are congas, bongos & cowbell and timbales.  Please feel free to express your love for music and to tell me what instruments you play and what you would love to play.  Take care.  Th-th-th-that's all Folks!

Neat stuff. I play piano (for classical and jazz), bells, xylophone, vibraphone, marimba, bass drums, suspended cymbals, triangle (hehe), wood/temple blocks, and crash cymbals (concert band).

I played the piano from 1st grade until 6th grade.  I took up playing the saxophone (alto) before 5th grade.  11 years later, I'm still playing it. :-) I've also played tenor saxophone a couple of times.  I actually like the sound of tenor sax better than alto.

I play drums...though I haven't played in over a year.

People are tired of the f**kery and drama, but if we'd actually talk to each other sometimes instead of a whole bunch of private conversations with other people, it'd go a long way to perhaps fixing the problems most seem to see in the site.

I use to play the piano, but never for a bigger audience than a private party.  I use to play the violin and the clarinet.  These I have played in school concerts.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away (translation:  years ago), I used to play the baritone.  :-D

I wouldn't worry.  My amplifier DOES NOT GO to 11.

Nor does mine. My folks downstairs get pretty pissed off at the loudness sometimes though :P

So there's the electric guitar (which I usually play only in Drop D, so I kinda cheat) the bass guitar (which I don't own, but can play when handed one) and my best, drumming, usually on a standard kit (acoustic or electronic), but I can also play bass drum or tenors.
