What all musical instruments can you play?

Sadly I can't really play anything. I was learning to play an instrument in my school times but sadly had to stop because of academic pressures.

Drums, primarily. I've had to max out my limited backing vocals over the past few years, and when I write songs, it's usually on piano or guitar. I can fool people into thinking I'm good. BTW the drummer for the Black Crowes didn't pick up the sticks until he was 21....and he did just fine for himself.

@uncalled4 Drums are easy if you learn the basics like 4/4 or 2/4 time signatures....if you can maintain a basic beat, you can make due definitely.

@caesar7 Well...to an extent. But that's like saying that all you need to do on guitar is learn the basics and barre chords. You'll do ok, but you won't have much of a vocabulary.

@uncalled4 I realize that you can progress from there but it's a good start.

@caesar7 Agreed. Lots of people who are great at other instruments started on drums, from Steve Perry to Eddie Van Halen. I think it's because that drums affords one a basic rhythmic sense along with 4-way coordination. For me, it's 5-way when I have to sing and play!
