as the title says, i was wondering if some people are drummer here? or other musicians with REAL instruments (especially acoustic ones)?
i'm playing drums for 4 years now, and i started wondering if some other coders are acoustically Nspired
-

I have played drums for 2 years, violin for 8 years.
-
i have played trumpet for 6 years, not counting this year
-
I am a percussionist ^^
-
it seems there are quite a lot :) nice to see this musical power here
i've tried such a small trumpet once because i loved the possibilities of it, but it turned out to stay with the drums :)
and violin is wonderfull, if you can play it..
oh builderboy, in a fanfare (dunno if that's english..)?
-
I know a couple of really good percussionists, you know, for high school level
-
I used to play piano for years, but now I play guitar. I have both an acoustic one and an electric one. I also played recorder, drums and sax at school.
-

Percussionist in general, I'm not sure fanfare is the word you are looking for though :P
-

@ juju, how can you can combine those things all together? that's really a much of instruments
-

I was in a marching band, but we did field shows mostly, and then concerts during the off season.
-
I have played guitar for 6 years.. And I've just realized that I could sing too. ^^
I've made a video of me playing like a hobo of Charlie Winston. :)

Piano for about 8 years since around first grade.
/me is learning the Minute Waltz and grande valse brilliante in a minor since he is a Chopin fan
-
Long-term trumpet player here, about 8 years now :)
I was in marching band for two seasons but it was just too much of a time eater so yeah :P
Anyway I'm somehow section leader in concert band so yay
-
lol Thank you ! :D
Actually, I used to sing when I was 4 years old with my three brothers who played guitar, drums and piano. :)
We played for 5 years, managed by my father. ^^ (like the jackson five :P)
But we stopped because my brothers didn't want anymore to continue..
So I stopped singing too, then I learnt guitar, and since 2-3 months, I try to sing again ! xD
-
I play trumpet! :D
Here's the most recent recording of my band, playing Sleigh Ride from our Christmas concert earlier this month.
I'm first chair, so I'm on all the melody trumpet stuff. The horse whinny at the end is me as well.
-
Piano for 10 years now
I'm learning a marasy8 remix of matryoshka.
Also trying to find another 11 people (the MIDI is split into 12 parts) So I can play this song:
-
I'll help you! :P
Although some of the speeds of the piece are physically impossible :P
-
Clarinet, guitar, piano, and THE COMPUTER MOFOS HAHAHAHAH :hyper:
-
I've been playing pianos for like 12 years (yes. 12 years.)
I messed around with guitar for 1 year and I quit (piano was still better for me.)
So what I do these days is just playing random impromptu songs and if it sounds good, musescore it.
-
I play Euphonium and Trombone. I play Euph in concert and symphony, and t-bone for jazz band.
-
Ive played trombone for 5 years, guitar for 7 (acoustic and electric), trumpet for 1, bass for 8, drums for 2, piano for 9, etc etc....I want a music major lol
-
@epic I was thinking of changing the crazy hammer notes to simple half notes :P and most of the others are quite tame.
-
@Loulou: You did a very nice job on that piece. I really enjoy the minimalistic sound of just the guitar and your singing. I must also thank you for introducing me to Charlie Winston. I looked up the original after listening to your cover. I hadn't heard of him before this, and I really enjoyed hearing him. To hear something that is older sounding and isn't just the same old generic music you hear on the radio is quite refreshing. He seems very talented. If the rest of his music is anything like the "Like a hobo" song, I'm really going to love listening to him. ;D
*edit* Forgot to mention that I sing as well. =)
-
Thank you :) yes he's talented and makes some good sound !
Look at other music (I mean listen :P) like my life as a duck, kick the bucket, ...
He has just made a new album with beautiful songs too. :)
He has been well known in France with like a hobo in particular.

WOOT! I'm on drumline, so I play marching snare in my high school marching band, which is way fun. I've also played the bassoon for 3 and a half years, and the piano for 10 years.
-
I don't play instruments anymore, although my bro used to have a small keyboard and I thought about getting a real one in the future. I could get a guitar too but it seems pretty hard to learn and that you need lessons or something.
Besides that I only use softwares to compose so that doesn't count :P
-
The guitar basics are pretty easy to learn, I think the hardest part is how to read sheet music and to learn chords. The rest is pretty easy, I learnt those by myself.
-
I used to play the clarinet but got bored and stopped
-
reading music is definatly the hard part, but if you get like 4 chords down (like E A D and G) You can play almost anything :)
-
I used to play the clarinet but then I took an arrow to the knee
Yeah me too, I used to play drums all the time, but now I'm in college and I just don't have much time anymore D:
-
yeah, axis of awesome made a song about that possibility
-
/me watches
Lol, I love that video now :P
What is with the "took an arrow to the knee" stuff?
-
Yeah this video is awesome :D
And the arrow to the knee thing is a joke from Skyrim that evolved into an internet meme.
-
Oh. People were saying it in school so I was like
BUILDER, NOW OMNI, NOW FRIENDS? LOLWAT?
-
ya i heard the arrow to the knee thing too from a couple of friends at school too.
scince i dont play skyrim, i didnt get it right a way either.
-
i just found this on the internet.. i'm the guy in the back, the drummer lol
skip to 3:15 (all this before it is just random)
i'm a bit ashamed of my 'solo' but whatever xp
-
I've played the piano for three years.
-
did you stop it? why, piano is great (imo)
lol i've tried it myself, but never got really far, so a quited it and continued playing drums xp
-
I play piano and I tried violin but my string kept breaking so i gave up. And it went out of tune really easy.
I never played drums.
-
I don't really play drums, but I do write all the music for my band (Which includes drums). I have a good ear for music so I can play what I hear in my head for the most part. It makes composing music easier :)
-
wow, nice.. can you let us hear some songs? i wanna hear now :) what do you play? ot do you only write?
-
I can play by ear on piano pretty well, but i cant play the harmony by ear.
-
I play bass, guitar (electric and acoustic), drums sorta, trombone, trumpet/cornet, a little sax (alto), baritone, piano, etc. My dad is a music teacher, so I followed in his steps :) And I compose for most of those instruments. And sorry I only recently got this band together, we are still working out our first ep :P but we do have connections to go record in Tennessee! :)

cool!
-
I play the guitar since 9 (so seven years), and to me, the hardest part was not read notes and all that stuff, but to play it, to move my hands faster enough and have a good coordination, and also to get the feeling and the knowledge for improvising.
-
You get used to hand movement and accuracy with practice
-
Yeah, of course, but you said a few post ago that the most difficult was to learn notes and chords, and I don't find that very difficult compared to the accuracy needed. But maybe it's because I didn't took solfege lessons.
-
I said reading music is more difficult, and learning chords and stuff was easy, and as far as learning instruments its different for everyone
-
I personally think learning to read music is easy :P
-
Yeah, learning to read music is not that bad, it's just like learning how to read.
-
the point of reading notes is not the reading itself, but the speed of it..
that's where i failed :c
-
Exactly Nick! Its easy to read notes.....but what is hard is the accuracy of reading music...and playing flawlessly even at fast tempos :) thats where complexity comes in, my dad (music major teacher and performer) once told me that 'Great musicians are the ones that look at music as a new language!'
-
true, as true as this was quite a weird double post xp but it is, and it can be hard to get that speed..
-
Sorry my Zune is stupid and double posted
-
And I restarted playing piano, as I got a MIDI keyboard that plugs on the computer via USB for Christmas. Pretty fun to change the instruments with GarageBand, even installed a plugin to make 8-bit chiptunes :D
-
OOOH thats fun :)
-
The guitar basics are pretty easy to learn, I think the hardest part is how to read sheet music and to learn chords. The rest is pretty easy, I learnt those by myself.
yeah I may have some troubles with that because for the past 13 years I always read everything graphically with little squares rather than notes. It doesn't say the notes name besides each row in Music Generator, just the octaves number:
-
Yeah that would do it! lol, habits can be quite bothersome. Since I play bass clef instruments as well as treble clef, so sometimes I mix those up :P
-
True, and I think I have asperger but so small compared to other family members that it's not diagnosticable. It makes it even harder to be used to changes and new stuff. I used the tool above since 2002 (except between Jan 2004 and December 2006 due to my CD stopping working).
-
Well I'm dyslexic so I mix up speaking too. lol :P
-
Do you mean saying the wrong words and stuff? I sometimes had this happen x.x
-
That or constantly accidentally making the same typos even if you know how to write those words correctly.
-
Now that you mention it, that might explain why after 7 years of playing Starcraft, I still get supply-blocked all the time. :P
-
If you know how to avoid that and you never do it in-game, that's probably a sign of dyslexy. (I don't play Starcraft, so I don't know what you're talking about, therefore can't really tell.)
-
It depends, I just can't seem to get used to avoiding it. Of course some other people have troubles with it and it requires lots of practice, but I don't know, I just have been playing for so long and even if I'm not as bad at it, I still can't avoid it completely after 8 years.
-
If you know how to avoid that and you never do it in-game, that's probably a sign of dyslexy. (I don't play Starcraft, so I don't know what you're talking about, therefore can't really tell.)
I believe it's 'dyslexia', lol
-
Dyslexia on dyslexia? Haha yeah. I think that spelling makes more sense.
-
I sense some kind of irony lol
