Musical Instrument

Why quit?

Piano for 16 years, guitar for 6 years, bass for 4 years, and now I'm trying to learn the violin, but I kinda suck~
 
I used to play piano, but not enough room to keep one or enough money to buy one, I can't stand electronic keyboard ..... electric guitars are great, keyboards however suck --- ....

Lol~ Yeah, I know what you mean. I keep telling people that a keyboard is NOT a piano, there's a big difference. But they still insist that I play even though I keep telling them that I play piano NOT keyboards~

What drums do you have?

I have a Pearl Forum series extended with some Export series material. Cymbals are Paiste: crash, ride, hi-hat and a splash. Just basic cheap stuff lol.

I have a 5-piece Pearl EX Series with 2 Stagg Power Toms
Cymbals are all Sabian - 3 Crashes, Ride, Splash, China, Hats
Also have mounted Tambourine and Mounted Cowbells.

Here they are knocked down to a 4-piece. Had to do that so I could practice comfortably at home:

Nah I never liked the snare... Just couldn't make it sound the way I wanted it to. I already tried several different drumheads, damper rings, etc. It just sounded too "sharp".
 
I was wondering.. if you stop playing an instrument for a while.. is it easy to get back into the rhythm of it?

You can do nice things with them though, if you connect them to a computer with MIDI and know something about electronic music applications.

But then again, it's not playing piano.

That's not really what playing the piano is about is it .... that's what playing with a computer is about ....
 
I played Violin when I was 12-13, and Clarinet when I was 12-13, but past that I have no musical experience.
