Any Instrumentalists Here

[CorkmAN]

Does anybody here play one of the 'Heavy" Instuments (Guitar, Drums, Bass, Keyboards). Just thought you mite like to discuss.

Im a drummer going on 2 years now, I play in a Duro/Speed metal band called Magnum-Opus.

Used to play most of the tracks from Ride the lightning in the band :grin:

Guitars: Ibanez RG [avatar], Westone Thunder1A [1981], Tanglewood Europa [1984], 4 Marlins [1980's] one converted to baritone tuning A-A, bass, Yamaha RGX420D6 [Baritone], Talman Semi, etc etc.
Amps: Peavey Bandit 75 [1980, and damn loud], Peavey Rage 125[practise]
FX: Boss GT-8, Zoom 323 drum machine.
PA Behringer Actives, no amp used live, go from GT-8 to stereo PA.

I love vintage gear.

S*** man, thats some good equip. Im getting a Pearl Master works next year, with a full set of HHX evo cymbals and just a pearl rack, Im also getting 2 22" bass drums, and one extra mounted tom.

I reckon ...And Justice for all, is 'tallica's best album. DYERS EVE!

Bull, 'tallica's best album was Master of Puppets. End of. Im a guitarist play a little of everything am in one band. I also play the harmonica (badly), the ukelele (badly), the chaufer (badly) and the didgeridoo and I can almost and occasionally circular breathe.

Everyone says MOP (i used to), but then i started thinking about my decision, and realized what an insanely good album justice is, every single song is so technical and well done, ITS INSANE!

its like this:

1. ...And justice for all
2. Master of Puppets
3. Ride the lightning

thats my top 3

i play the electric guitar, mainly AC-DC, Metallica that sort of stuff. dont play in a band though. actually i haven't played in a band at all lol.

[rutty]

I play in a brass band. Well, brass is pretty heavy ;)

[Herne]

Aye, you get a tuba dropped on your foot, you know about it :grin:

I still reckon a drumstick in the eye is worse tho'.

[rokor]

i play violiin. I guess that isnt really considered a 'heavy' instrument, but a lot of new age bands have used electric violin and have done an incredible job with it. i. e. Yellowcard... anyone else here play violin or electric violin?

[Azerath]

well its not really an instroment but i can sing a little bit

[Michikawa]

I play guitar and piano, but have mostly fiddled around with home-studio composing and software synthesizers / samplers.

Actually I have composed some orchestral fantasy soundtrack music, mainly for pen & paper roleplaying game sessions. Quite a few people have found the soundscapes so enjoyable that they have imported them for example into Oblivion music folder so that the tunes can be played ingame. The soundscapes could fit quite well into WoW also, feel free to check out the project:
