i play drums, i used to be some kind of pro... but i became an architect, so i still play from time to time, yes i recorded with 2 bands, the first one PREGO, was a more prog oriented band, however it disbanded and i formed another one a little bit more acid jazz, called MENTE MAESTRA (mastermind in english). My likes are plain GOOD MUSIC, jazz, prog, fusion, classical, rock, whatever that has an escence and groove!!!

I am a drummer (fairly decdent if you ask people that heard me). I can also play the piano (slightly) and i really really want to learn bass. I'm in a band. We're not pro or anywhere close. We try to play the best prog we can. Flammable Titan is the name. Again if you ask people, they'll say we're decent. We contain all kinds of stuff: Piano, organ (when we can use it), drums, all sorts of percussion (got a little shop about 20 mins. away  ) turmpet and guitars of course. We are also trying to blend in sax and other wind instrments. It's coming along nice.

Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect.

Since I'm still in school, I play at home or with other musicians whenever I can, whenever I have time. I write and records my stuff, but have no samples. I play guitar, saxophone and a little percussion/drums. I wish I would play the keyboard (a lot better) and the violin. I mainly like prog, jazz, fusion and rock.

i am a home recorder, playing bass, guitar, keys, drum machine, and my pc. no band although i have friends who play, and well, and we are creative yet they are too far away (and somewhat apathetic). our music together would be great but as it is i have to give it a go solo. my stuff is ok but im always in need of feedback and ideas out of another's head bc i feel that my music will be better for it....radiohead is 5 geniuses not one(im a bit of a perfectionist...if it isnt as good as the best it isnt good). anyway i have some stuff, mostly electronic, with some live instruments laced in. i dont know how to share it with yu all tho. i would call some of it prog and some are just little studio dalliances to feed creative burnings that had no great inspiration. anyway if any of yu kno how i can share it with yu or if yu would like to hear some let me kno. i send them to my friends thru my I.M.
ps- i listened to the jack straw yu posted and it wasnt too bad man, id like to learn that riff, they are one of my favorite bands, just have grown out of them a little...heard it all so much yu kno?

I mainly play the oboe and so can play most of the wood-instruments quite easily.

Also i'm planning on playing the drums and a bit guitar soon.

I play trombone, guitar, drums, keyboards, and trumpet. I have my own recording studio in my basement where my band practices (for which I play the drum set). And I'm still in high school!

Im playing guitar 10 years, bass 3 years and piano 13 years. But mostly i play electric guitar. I have had 5 electric guitars: Epiphone Les Paul Studio, Fender American Standard Stratocaster, Gibson SG 61 reissue, Fender 1979 Stratocaster and now i have only one, but this always was my dream guitar: Gibson Les Paul Custom 1968 reissue (Black Beauty) and this is my most favourite guitar from all i ever played. I want to buy Rickenbacker 4001 bass this year.

I have only one amp too - 1976 Hiwatt DR504. I dont need other, its my dream amp too. I play it through Marshall 1960AX cab with Celestion Greenbacks.

I've been playing piano for 7-8 years. In the last year, I've really gotten into electric keyboard stuff. I have actually come up with three songs, but sorry, they aren't on the net, and if I had the chance, I probably wouldn't put them up anyway.

Is it prog? I'm not sure. That's what I'd like to play, but I probably need more songwriting experience before I can classify it.

Wow, lots of trombone players. I've been playing trombone since 5th grade, and since i've picked up bass (Aria SB-40 Fretless), synth (Korg MS2000B) and minimal, and i mean minimal, guitar.

Guitarist who also plays bass, composes, records.

Released one CD so far, "Tales From The Inflatable Forest", all instrumental symph/fusion under the moniker of The Owl Watches

Here's the website: www.geocities.com/theowlwatches

Samples are on my site but there's also a complete MP3 on Soundclick: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/5/theowlwatchesmusic.htm

I am now recording my follow up and it will be titled "Ghost of A Train", and so far it'll be a bit darker and heavier sounding than "Tales---" drenched in Mellotrons and fuzz-bass!  plus some spooky loops using steam whistles and howling wolf choruses (already did an owl chorus on "Tales--"  )

 

People are puzzled why I don't dig the Stones, well, I listened to the Stones, I tried, and I tried, and I tried, and--I Can't Get No Satisfaction!

I play Violin, and probably turning out to Electric Violin soon. I also like any percussions (drum, congas, etc...). I can possibly play piano, guitar, base, and all, but I focus on Violin right now. I might also start Cello.

I do not know many songs, as I write most of time. Most stuff I did sound a bit like Can, and they all last for over 10 minutes. Haven't got a real band right now, but well, I just turned out 16 year old, so no hurry.

I play the guitar in a spanish prog band, SENOGUL. We are starting recording our first record right now, comprised by our own stuff. However, it won´t be available until next year... We have already two demo records, you can listen to some mp3 samples here: www.senogul.tk Tell me what do you think if you take a look . Of course, we also play the classics: Heart of the sunrise, Fith of fith, one extract from Ciclos, Karn Evil 9, Peaches en regalia, Biaxident, etc.
