French Horn, Melaphone, Trumpet (if I want to butcher it up).

Haven't played in ~5 years. I got sick of the nazi band teachers we had and basically told them to fvck off :)

Used to play keyboard, though I was never especially good and I'm sure I'm well beyond rusty now. I keep thinking I should get back into practice.

drummer since ~7th grade (12 years)
piano for 4 or 5 years, but I haven't touched one in just as long
violin for six months or so back in grade school, learning to play right along side Viper GTS (he sucks ;) :p)
recorder for six months in grade school

I taught myself to play drums and it's what I'm best at. I drum on everything with my hands and fingers. Rhythm is something that friggin flows through my veins. It's part of my very soul. :heart: I listen to music almost constantly. The only time I'm not listening to music is when I'm showering, watching TV (rare), or sleeping. I should start listening to music while I sleep, again, though. That's probably another reason that I don't sleep so well. I'm an absolute music junkie and I love it.

:heart:

Piano -- learned it when I was young, but it's somewhat long forgotten. (2-4 years)
Guitar -- still learning, and enjoying it very much (3 years and counting)
...and I sing; Isn't voice a musical instrument ;)
