How many musicians do we have here?

I play drums and have been doing so for 8 years...I work with some of the top worship leaders around the state and Southeast and I work closely with the South Carolina Baptist Convention...I am also an endorsed artist for MedicineMan Drums....Check them out at http://medicinemandrums.com/ I am the third one from the bottom on the artist page.....Also I dabble with piano, bass, guitar, and a little mandolin.....

Been a drummer for most of my life. In between jobs, I traveled with bands and recorded. Do alot of local stuff, clubs, Oprys, parties. Play Classic Rock, Country, Traditional and smooth Jazz, Swamp Pop. Music has been a very big part of my life since I was a child. Always wanted to do it full time, but never had the opportunity. I can say without a doubt though, that music has made a very big portion of my income over the years and got me through some tough financial times. It fed my habits, like guns, ammo, knives and days at the range.

Started out playing trumpet. Played it for about 5 years. Switched to the baritone and played that for 6 years. I own a guitar but I wouldn't say I can play it, I just know a few songs from tab.

not a vituoso or anything. i taught myself when i was in school thinking that i would be the next elvis or one of the beatles or the next beach boy. then music turned to crap and i said never mind.

I used to play quite often, but then we ended up with a large family which consumes a lot of my time, so haven't played much lately. But I play gutiar ( Fender Strat, PRS, and Acoustic ). It is a great stress reliever though.

Started in 5th grade playing trumpet, added piano, harmonica (not really an instrument), guitar, bass, drums... Really lost interest in trumpet, still play the piano and guitar the most. Don't like to brag, but I was never taught, I always just taught myself. I guess I'm kinda a virtuoso. Hence; "pianomistro".

I have been playing guitar for about 15 years now. Started playing it at church, then we moved. Bought a mandolin about 5 years ago. I know play it at church. Last Christmas I got a banjo. I have not played it at church...yet.

I was never taught either. taught myself everything. that can be good and bad. good because I spent all my free time practicing because of a true desire to get good... bad because there are still techniques that I still come across that I never knew before. but either way you look at it music is awesome!
