Anyone into guitar or drums?

[Syntho-sis]

I've been playing both awhile now..

 

Any of you guys or gals play around with those?

 

If not, why kind of instrument do you play?

[tomgwyther]

I play Piano/keyboard, saxophone, professionally as well as being a producer and sound engineer. I also run events/conventions in Europe and USA.

I dabble a bit into guitar, bass and drums (As I work with them regularly)

When I'm not doing that; I'm on SFN.

 

Anything specific you're after, I'll be happy to help.

[Syntho-sis]

Cool...nice to know.

 

So you work with a lot of bands I imagine?

[toastywombel]

I play guitar, been playing for a few years now and I would consider myself fairly good. I usually play at least once a day.

[tomgwyther]

Yep, I work with (And have worked with) a lot of bands in one capacity or another.

I've played Guitar for years and have performed. Performances ranging from rock bands to solo Jazz/clasical pieces at wedding receptions. I've played bass in small bands and also the drums. Learnt a bit of keybard/piano for fun. Not doing so much now - I'd want at least a months notice to brush up before performing anything on the guitar.

Not that many. A few brief brushes with fame.

e.g.

T'Pau, (Of 'china in your hands' fame)

10CC, ('I don't like cricket, I love it') I ate their sandwiches

Paul Schaffer, (From the late show) Jammed in NY bar

Mike Stern, (As above)

Andy whitmore, was my producer for a while, he produced eternal and Peter Andre

Bill Cosby (Did a promo with my band on the Cosby show set with Tony Bennet, the singer.

Bobby Wellins (Jazz saxophonist of 'under milk wood fame' was my tutor for a while.

Vagabond, The Darkness, Oasis, and a few others before they were famous.

I was stage manager and sound engineer in South Tahoe, Nevada for a western convention, so worked with [what remaining] actors, directors etc from the TV show Bonanza.

 

Mostly U.K acts. I love an opportunity for a few shameless name-drops

I've been playing both of those for a couple of decades now, including bass and some "attempts" at piano. Never been into performing, I'm purely a home studio enthusiast that enjoys writing and recording above all else.

 

You have anything recorded yet? I always enjoy listening to other amatures. I've been more impressed and surprised with non-professionals in this thing. The pro's mostly sell a product. Us amatures seem to be more artistically "pure" (at the risk of pretentiously feigning disregard to cover up envy for an actual audience )

A little of both. I didn't play enough to get good at either, because it was a one year class in grade school, but it was fun.
