Are you a musician?

James - 5-11-2005 at 13:07

I play the guitar. I have a Squier Stratocaster and a PRS Santana SE. I have a Boss OS-2 pedal and a Boss DD-3 pedal also. I run these through a Marshall G80RCD.

I play piano/keyboards and guitar, noodle a bit on the bass as well. Nowadays keys is my main thing, playing Hammond and Fender Rhodes in a couple of local bands. :)

BBP - 5-11-2005 at 20:31

I play piano, keyboard, bass, guitar, ukelele, harmonica, recorder, melodica, flute, hand-flute, and I attempt singing.

Pappawas1975 - 5-11-2005 at 20:34

I play(ed) drums....

BBP - 5-11-2005 at 20:43

Not anymore? :drums:

Pappawas1975 - 5-11-2005 at 20:50

No,well, sort of....Am doing an album in August / September time, out in Holland and Germany, then finally recording it in Rome, but apart from that, I dont play any more...I retired about 2 years ago....

BBP - 5-11-2005 at 20:52

You're coming to Holland? Anywhere near Eindhoven? Or Utrecht (= where I study) or Amsterdam?

Pappawas1975 - 5-11-2005 at 20:56

Dont think its that far from Eindhoven, its near Heerlen, cant remember the name of the town for the life of me!! I fly into Maastricht anyway, and its not too far from there...

BBP - 5-11-2005 at 21:01

Kerkrade? Spekholzerheide? Simpelveld? Waubach? Hoensbroek?

Heerlen's about an hour from Eindhoven by train. It's allegedly a rotten place, high criminality rate, junks and stuff.

Pappawas1975 - 5-11-2005 at 21:03

Yeah, wasnt too hot when I was there last time!No, none of the towns you mentioned, keep going though, cos its bugging the hell outta me! Its not listed on his website either!!!

BBP - 5-11-2005 at 21:06

Schaesberg? Eygelshoven? Schin op Geul? Eys? Schimmert? Wijnandsrade? Voerendaal? Valkenburg? Houthem? Brunssum?
Anything else is not in my atlas.

Pappawas1975 - 5-11-2005 at 21:08

BBP - 5-11-2005 at 22:24

Pappawas1975 - 5-11-2005 at 22:26

BBP - 5-11-2005 at 22:29

James - 7-11-2005 at 13:22

mutronboy - 19-11-2005 at 10:53

Yeah, I much prefer Tasty cheese to regular Cheddar

I like how it goes all crispy when ya grill it....yum!!

scallopino - 19-11-2005 at 15:55

I play drums. I like Vinnie and Weckl and all those guys. I learnt to play vibes for West Side Story! What a fucking ordeal that was!

I once played bass for Louie Louie for a gig at a party with a big band (I never picked one up before.) I started improvising in the B section!!! The real bass player turned my amp down!! I didn't know what the fuck I was doing!!

mutronboy - 19-11-2005 at 17:20

hoy scallopino, welcome to the forum

I can't hold my snot in after seeing your pic, but that's the chance we all take, huh?

I'm a guitarist, but I took up marimba 'cos the Zappa tribute band I was
in could never find a marimba player who would rehearse for free...

I love playing the Zappa stuff on marimba, 'cos I love Ruth

I deliberately don't play anything else but Zappa on marimba...
That's enough to keep me occupied for several lifetimes

Pappawas1975 - 28-11-2005 at 10:44

Always wanted to try playing a marimba....I guess as a drummer I think Id be able to play it, but I know that I wouls suck. Id just like to give it a go.....

Puptent - 28-11-2005 at 13:39

Marimba is a cool instrument and the basics aren't that hard to learn. My dad's girlfriend has one and can play it pretty well (she's no Ruth Underwood, though.. ;)) , I think the trickiest part is learning to play with four mallets instead of two.

Too bad those large concert marimbas are pretty expensive.

Pappawas1975 - 28-11-2005 at 13:42

yeah man....I can see how I would dig playing one, as you only have to concentrate on your hands, and not both feet also....That said, it wouldnt make it that much easier....
