Any musicians out there!

[HUSHPUPPY 0]

If you play in a band....what do you play and what kind of music do you play? I have been in several bands locally and sit-in occasionally for a few as well (currently not in a band!). I have played the drums since I was about 10, and now play mostly classic rock as well as newer rock (Velvet Revolver, 3 Doors Down, Breaking Benjamin, Seether, ect.). I love music and find playing relaxing. There are several musicians at our DZ and we plan on throwing something together soon, hope it works out!

Nice setup!

I've been playing trumpet for nearly 15 years now, I've played lead horn off and on in a few jazz bands for the past 7 years or so.

A couple of years ago I picked up the guitar as well as the harp (harmonica for those non-musician types out there).

Right now I pretty much only play guitar or harp since I don't currently have a band to play my horn in...although I desperately want to find a good tight combo to play my trumpet in.

I used to gig around. I'm nowhere near as good as I was 5-7 years ago when I was playing 4 hours a day every day. Boy, when I had the time...

Played keyboards in a band for a couple of years. Nice job because (as the others liked to remind me) it was really a 'guitar' band, so I got to stand there and look chilled on stage without having to do very much.

You drummers, on the other hand, have all the hard work and not enough recognition. All that setting up and taking down, endless soundchecking, loading and unloading your vehicle...
Edited to add - I just looked at your gear. Nice one! I guess they don't make drum kits as big or as heavy as they used to.

I've played drums for like 1000 years. Most known for my band "Watchtower" (heavy/technical rock), recorded and toured internationally quite a bit in the late 80's, early 90's. Also played with regional party band "Retarted Elf" (white boy funk), which petered out a few years ago. I'm auditioning for a new band this week, trying to get back into playing regular after some time off (spent most of the last 2 years jumping every weekend).

I play the jazz flute. Hmmmm...that's baby makin music that's what that is.

[Airman1270 0]

Been playing guitar for 31 years. Used to play alone or jam with friends in my younger years. In the late 1970's I'd get home from my graveyard shift as my friends & family were going to work/school. Stayed home alone, party, and play for several hours a day...

In recent years I've played guitar & bass with the church band, as well as operated the sound board. When I was younger I wanted to play in a band and tour bars & nightclubs, but by the time I was good enough I'd lost my desire to do this. Perhaps as a once-in-a-while thing, but not as a lifestyle. Playing in church is fun, but I never dreamed I'd one day be on stage in front of several hundred people and nobody's drunk.

One morning one of the singers said "Jon, you're wailing on that guitar. How'd you get so good?" I replied "Drugs."

Cheers,
Jon

I play drums and bassoon. Bassoon is used to back up trombones, i shouldn't really be in the band for that but was allowed to

[GARYC24 3]

I do the sound board at my church.
Also, have played for kids ministry, what an audience..I was really nervous!
I played past 2 years w/pastor in a little bluegrass christmas songs thing we do. Pastor is really good banjo player (we joke about it alot!)
we use a 32key Mackie.

Been blaying guitar for 42 years. Was in a band full time in the 70's (actually stopped jumping then, cause I couldn't be traveling to gigs and jumping too). Most recently, I played banjo in a bluegrass band (about four years). Now I play a little fiddle, too. Our dropzone got me back jumping again after a 20 year layoff through playing music. We had a "jump and jam" each weekend the plane was in town (once a month here in the boonies). Now, I'm jumping so much I don't have time for playing in a band.

Let me know when you decide when and where. Are you hooking up with Stephen or who? His guitar and your drumming
should be a great show.

I'm playing lead alto saw in our college jazz band. I hadn't played jazz, or anything else since high school until a few years age. It's great to be back in music. It was probably the thing i'd missed most from high school.I also play clarinet and sax in the community wind symphony, but the jazz is by far the most fun to play.
