Just wanted to see if anyone's into playing music... I've been playing bass for about 5 years now and about a year back cwapface let me borrow his drum kit which I then had to give back so I went and got my own. I've been playing those quite a bit lately.

Just tonight I found some pics I took a little while back of them and decided I should wave my e-penis around a little :D

I play guitar, I have 2 guitars (a no-name strat and a BC Rich Beast). I'll try and get some pics of them and everything I have and what we all have in our music room.

I have a Fender tube amp that I love, and I just bought a Boss ME50 pedal a couple weeks ago and love it as well. I would take pics right now but the camera is dead.

I really wanna pick up another guitar, but right now I don't have the money :(

I play Electric guitar, kinda gave it up, but i still got the guitar, looking to sell it for like 500 obo, but its a nice guitar,
Custom Pic Gaurd, Floyd Rose, White, Kramer(Brand-Kind of brand that Van Halen uses) Excelent condition, comes with amp :) it sounds wicked tho, and i love it, but i just dont play it enough, it deserves a good owner who will use it to its capabilities :(

Spipedong, where is the other pedal? Unless you've got the foot speed of John Bonham (refer to "Good Times Bad Times"), you should have another. Not necessarily a double bass setup, just another pedal. ;)

What kind of stuff are you into and who are some of your favorite drummers/percussionists?

I love the tube amp sound. Doom, stoner and sludge metal wouldn't be the same without it!

Wow, everyone plays guitar...lol. I currently own 4 Analog synths, 1 Sampler...Roland: Alpha-Juno1, Juno-60, SH-1. Korg DW-6000, Oberheim DMX. I recently sold two rackounts, an Oberheim Matrix-1000, and a Kurzweil K-3000. I am also running a MIDI interface to my PowerMac G3 (sequencing/programming), and I have a little Tascam 4-track :).

I am also using an Alesis fx unit, with Behringer mixer, and Bose Monitors...

I have two Big vintage Sony's and a JBL sub for just enjoying music too, but I need a new stereo amplifier right now...:(.

Haha, I actually have a double bass setup but I never use it. I just really prefer single pedal.

Favorite percussionists (In Loose Order) include:
David Garibaldi - Tower Of Power
Chad Smith - RHCP
Matt Taul - Days Of The New and Tantric
Carter Beauford - Dave Matthews (Although I don't care for DMB)
Mike Portnoy - Dream Theater and John Pertrucci
Brad Wilk - Rage Against The Machine

and many more

I also play the bass and then started playing the drums. Have a Fender Jazz 5 string and a Tama kit. Started playing bass in 1992 and then drums around 2004.

i've strayed away from distortion pedals. however, on my practice amp, i use a SansAmp GT-2 tube distortion pedal. it makes my crappy little practice amp sound like my mesa/boogie triple rec. :)

been playing since i was too short to reach the kick pedal.

I'm hiding at the other end of the snare line (section leader woop woop) but this was part of the drum line I was in.

Yeah I played with KP for...4 years? I recently quit, don't have time for it anymore. Still going to be recording with them though.

Fav. drummers are Neil Peart, neil peart, neil peart, Virgil Donati, and the dude from Incubus hah.

At the upcoming "last show" with me I will be busting out the midi triggered roto-toms to play Neil Peart's "Der Trommeller" R30 2005 solo.....well as best I can with my tiny 15 piece. :biglaugh:
