What Instrument do You Play?

I have played drums since I was 16, 38 now, so quite a long time. I play with 2 bands (country and blues) but have a corporate day job, so it is just a hobby but very important to me. Seems like most of my hobbies revolve around music.... I want to start singing in a choir again as I like choral music.

My voice. I am singing Rachmaninov as part of a group the next two Sundays, in conjunction with a St. Petersburg Festival in Maryland.

I studied piano as a child for about 8 years and cello for 3 (around the same time.) Left them both for electric guitar as a teenager, for fun, and euphonium in the High School band. Studied shakuhachi in my twenties and now full circle back to the piano for the last 5 or so years. My system actually got me back to the piano by re-discovering my love of classical music and immersion in G.Gould's recordings. I think I aspired to be a classical pianist, as a youth, but stopped mentioning it when my brothers kept saying: "what!? a classical penis?"

Drums, cymbals, sounds, gongs.....I really focus in on the percusion instruments. I can tell alot about a system with familiar recordings and knowing the drums sonic signature. I only wish to be the one on those recordings while listening to them on my system. Keep on jamming!

Mostly guitar and some bass. Played with various rock & roll bands over the years, but don't think of myself as what I consider to be a true musician, just a player who's not really as good as people seem to think. I've never worked too hard at it, though I started when I was 11 and took lessons for a few years, but the music I like to play generally doesn't require much real virtuousity anyway. I particularly like to compose my own music (though I can no longer write or read it), but since I'm not a singer or a lyricist, don't actually produce finished works on my own. My other musical ambition is to one day get a drumset, and learn to do more than just barely get by with rudimentary beats as I do now. I am positive that playing has had an effect on how I listen to music, but I couldn't tell you if or how that might translate into any of my system choices.
