I can sort of play the piano and the guitar a little. I have a fiddle which I'm dying to learn when my life gets less hectic.

just try doing some sort of roll with them, and keep it at a constant speed untill you can even them out, and then try speeing it up. Or something, I don't know, I'm not a very good drummer :P

Anyhoot, I play guitar, bass and drums. Guitar and bass, I play fairly well, drums, not quite so well. I also took piano lessons for 8 years

Wow!

I have been playing drums since second grade. to practice double bass just do exactly what you do with your hands; double stoke roll, five stroke roll, seven stroke roll etc. paradidles, and of course just plain old single stoke roll. start off very slow. it takes a while to get it going. I practiced for about a year before i really got it. i know that is a long time, but it opens up so many things for your playing that are great. Of course just fooling around helps a lot too, but pratice rudiments as well and it will happen faster.

I play piano..not much to say really, but I can play The Lonely Man (the end song to the incredible hulk show) which is about the coolest thing I can do. I've been learning Karma Police also..

I did know a guy who took a speak and spell apart, reassembled it so that it talked slower/faster, ran it rhough a reverb unit and a vocal digitizer. It was one of the craziest pieces in a band I have ever seen.

I play a Warwick 5-string Corvette and keyboards. In high school and college I played piano in jazz band, cuz i started piano in second grade. IN high school I also played various brass intruments (baritone, tuba, trombone).

yeah, the speak and spell, and other various kids toys i have 'reassembled' to do that stuff and more like distortion and glitches and filtering and stuff, its cool.

I play bass, cello, and piano. Bass being my main instrument. I can hold my own at bass to say the least, I suck at cello, and I can play Message to Harry Manback on piano so that must mean Im pro. Im more of a composer/theory kind of person.
