Can arpeggiate chords on piano and keyboards (somewhat), but I have played trap-set drums for 35 years...

Drums is my primary, but I've got piano training as well. Other synths would logically fall under that even though I don't actively use them all that often. I'm about to start learning bass, but I won't add that until I become competent.

I play whatever I can get my hands on, but I'll say my instrument is bass, usually Rickenbacker. I'd like to get a fretless but haven't made that jump. Any suggestions for a Ric player?
I've played guitar for 30 years, but when I listen to what I've done I realize that the bass likes me more than the guit.

Electric and classical (not acoustic) guitar, keyboards (especially the piano timbre, or "voice", as Yamaha calls it), a bass guitar, a violin, and ...
I have a soprano recorder. If I have a woodwind instrument, can I just vote "Flute"?

I played guitar pretty well in my twenties. Since I just did stuff to please myself and it didn't lead anywhere professionally, I went cold turkey and just gave it up to get on with my life. However, taking it up again has been positive way of dealing with my mid-life crisis. I could do a lot worse. In my twenties I was better than I am now with odd time signatures, but I'm much more well versed nowadays with unusual scales. Then as now I was really into experiments with timbre. I improvise constantly. I find it hard to play standing up.

Don't loose hope, Keith Moon probably started like that too!

I don't play any instruments, nor will I likely begin to learn one (though that's not entirely impossible). I've got too many other life interests and goals.

Guitar, kinda. I'd say I'm definitely more than a beginner, but I'm still in the process of learning (I mean, I guess that's not something your really stop with instruments, but you know what i mean). With what I know on guitar I can play a little bass. I can play some basic things on the keys, like chords and stuff, from a couple years of messing around with my keys. I think I would be a great, natural drummer if I had more chances to play/practice. After I get pretty competent at guitar, keys, and drums, I want to learn Violin, Sax, Cello, Trumpet, and a few others.

I put down guitar, bass guitar, drums, vocals, and saxophone. I play electric guitar and sing lead for a band currently. I can keep time on drums if required, and I can get by on the bass. The saxophone was my first instrument, played it in the high school concert and jazz band. I don't really like playing it any more though.
As for piano/keys, I can't honestly say I can play that, though sometimes I like to bulls&&t my way around the keys and pretend I can play.

I play everything on the list except piano, wind instruments, and violin. I play all other manner of keyboards, but the fully weighted keys of an acoustic piano drive my tendinitis mad. Been playing keyboards since about 4 yrs old, acoustic guitar since about 10, and picked up drums, bass guitar & vocals in my teens when I started playing in prog bands. Finally took up electric guitar around the age of 20.

I've been having snare drum lessons at a local percussion group since six years. Even though we're just a small club, we're in the top division for percussion groups in the Netherlands. I've also learned to play some other percussion from playing in the 'ensemble'(as they call themselves).
I also like to fool around on my keyboard at times  |

I wouldn't bother to play electric guitar without some sort of effects box. Currently using a Floor Pod Plus.
