Drum kit.
10 years.
I own one, it is black.
I don't know what rating I would give myself. I'm not really happy with my playing ability as is. Must keep practicing.

yeah...I play buttocks too...
I have this book, but I have only reached page 13: "the double ram-shackle solo-ride". Can't really get past that.
Did you have trouble doing the "special elefant-move"?
:P

I remember when I was younger my friend played the Tuba. And he'd tell me to put my hand under the spit trap (I didn't know what it was) and he'd release it.

i play french horn. i played trumpet for about 5 years (from 10 to 15), got braces and couldn't do it anymore. never really liked the instrument, but it was fun to play something nevertheless. well, they came off, and eventually i decided to give horn a shot. more my style i think. i have only been playing for about a year now, but i have fun with it. i rent a holton 179 from my school, and i doubt that i will be able to afford to buy one after graduation because of school expenses, etc. but i am hopeful that there will be a horn for me in the future!

Clarinet: well I studied for two years, learned to play the Star Wars theme and the Cantina Band music.
Rating: 6/10, didn't really know what I was doing, wasn't too pleased that everyone who played it seemed to be a balding white guy...
Bunch of crapped up old guitars: ye gods, that long?! rating: I forget, but I sometimes wake up in a cold sweat with Metallica riffs thundering through my skull
Bass: played it in a band for a while Rating: not bad at all, impressed a couple of long term bass players with my weird ass fretless stylings
Drums: played them whenever the drummer wasn't around, learned how to cop a cool 5/4 groove
rating: could probably play in a punk or psychobilly band
Roland RS5 keyboard: since last summer Rating: getting there baby

Guitar, for about 8 or 9 years, I own a gibson les paul, and a ibanez acoustic electric...Im not a very good guitarist in my opinion
Paino-about 3 years now, some old upright, player piano. again I think my playing skills are under par
Bass-for about 7 years, dont actually own one, but my friend taught me some bass playing techniques (anyone who plays the guitar can fake playing the bass I think)

in an ensemble its totally different tho... you have to know how the bass interacts with the drums.
in jazz music a gutarist playing bass would stick out a mile...
*sounds like an elitist* didnt mean to sound like that, but people dont take bassists seriously. people think "oh that's easy!"...

no no no, by no means was I trying to down play the talent required for playing bass, all I was saying is that if you have a working knowledge of the last 4 strings on a guitar, you can fake playing the bass since they are the same. (I have deep respect for bassists, especially jazz bassists)
