Just wondering if anyone out there on the boards plays any kind of instruments. To start things off:
I've been playing drums now for 10 years now on and off. I like to play fusion, and funk; unfortunately I'm cursed by the fact that I cannot play a decent rock beat to save my life for some reason (its kept me out of a lot of bands). However, I have been lucky enough to play a good amount of music with some open-minded people. I also started playing classical piano, namely Bach, and Mozart.
Now its your turn....
Also, try to share some of your influences...

I play the drums and am in a band. I like to play rock/classic rock/funk. My influences are Chad Smith and John Bonham. Jack White and John Frusciante have inspired me to learn guitar.

I play guitar and have been for about 8 years or so. I have been in about 4 bands but nothing too serious. I am not currently in one though.

You're to good for a band to my friend!

Greetings

I played alto and tenor sax until high school, but then switched to drums. First snare, then trio toms and then a set - never was "great", but it was fun. My only claim to fame (albeit lame) is that for a short time in High School, I played on the drum squad with Dane Clark - the current drummer for John Mellencamp and the guy you saw on TV playing before the NFL season-opening Colts game.
I have played guitar for about 20 years, but was never anything more than a "rhythm player in a garage band" caliber person. Still enjoyable to knock off the dust and play along with some Dokken, Ozzy (R. Rhoads) and my favorite, Tesla (Frankie and the boys ROCK)!
