Anyone Else in a Band? Or play an instrument?

Just seeing if anyone else here is in a band? I just joined a new band last night. Pretty excited, my new years resolution was to get back into a band this year so finally made that happen.

I play the drums. My hobbies are extremely addictive and expensive (cars and drums) One of my drumsets is valued/insured at $22k and it's my pride and joy. Then I have 4 other drumsets too.

This is my Maple Monster

Nice setup. I can play the intro to Crazy Train on the guitar and thats really about it lol

That's a really nice drum kit you have there! I played trumpet growing up and actually majored in music in college, at first as a music education major, but decided education was not for me, so now I have a music management degree. I haven't played in a couple years though, having to play 6+ hours a day every day for my first 2 years in college kinda killed it for me. What kind of music does your new band play?

The new band is completely different for me. I just went for fun. They are a band rock/pop band. So they take main stream songs and pump them up, redo them more rock but loads of fun and catchy pop. I'm basically filling in for awhile as their drummer is having a baby.

For myself I have a Percussion Performance degree and I love extremely technical and challenging progressive music. So this is just a fun walk in the park. But had our first practice last night and just loved it.

Damn! Thats a sick drumset you have.
I have 3 Acoustic Guitars, 3 Electric Guitars, and one Ukulele.
I do Have a drum kit but I barely play it. Its nothing special like yours lol

I used to be in a band but We split because it was hard to fit everyones schedule for practices and whatnot.

Forever in tune. No kidding I play that thing every day and it never gets out of tune I love it

That kind of hilarious :giggle:

I played Mary Had A Little Lamb on the Recorder the other day for my daughter. She thought I was king shit, lol

^awwwwwww

Right on. So, any of your kits sonor or tama? I play sax, music ed degree. Playing 6 to sometimes 8 hours a day was awesome. Being a teacher and having a son does not afford me the time anymore. I wish I went in to performance. But I play in the mambo 911 orchestra and live for music. See, I knew some of you guys had more going on in your heads than cars and tender gender. Cool.

I actually do own a SONOR drumset. It's my personal pride and joy as I got it when I was five.

Just picked this thing up http://i857.photobucket.com/albums/a...psc993a4fc.jpg
Its pretty fun, even though it doesnt feel the same, i can play it at night with no problem and recording covers is soooo much better

^I goof around on that same one every saturday we have one at the store. When no one is around we hook it up to our big PA and just blast the shit out of it.
