I play a wee bit too much for my own good >.> I play guitar, drums, and bass. Not too much bass these days, though. I spent a lot of time on drums. I play in a pretty hectic style, somewhere between the more creative end of hardcore (Pg.99 etc.) and, um, primitive black metal (Darkthrone, Marduk, Mayhem). It hurts after a while; my leg muscles are killing me right now from last night's playing >.< Double-bass pedals are my best friends; my high-hat pedal broke a year or so ago, and I've not needed (or bothered) to get it fixed. Basically, I hit things, fast. Sounds like a bit of a mess at times, but there's method to it ^_^
Guitar... quite similar, really. Only play electric these days; never really got on with acoustic. Lots of treble, fast up-and-down strokes so it sounds like each chord is continous, rather than lots of fast ones. It's got to be melodic, though - I like to be able to hum what I play. In short, I'm ripping off stuff like Iron Maiden, Darkthrone (again), Dissection, and Heroin (yeah, there's punk amongst the metal). I don't play other people's songs too much - I mostly sit and write stuff myself. Few songs I do play are by Darkthrone and Iron Maiden.
I used to be an awesome bass player - not wanting to sound big-headed, but I was - but I've not played much this past year. I got more stress-relief from guitar and drums, so I stuck with them that bit more. Bass style was somewhere between RATM, Iron Maiden (again), and mid-80's and 90's emo (Rites of Spring, Navio Forge, Indian Summer... see
www.fourfa.com for what I mean). Melody is key here.
Given all this, it might be surprising I'm not in a band, but I never had time at uni, and my hometown is full of MTV punks and idiots. I won't play music I won't enjoy, and the idea of playing countless Offspring and Green Day covers when instead I could be doing something that bit more original and emotional... *chokes*. I've messed about with computer-based programs, like Fruity Loops (I like my electro too), but never really took with them. I might home-record stuff one day, though, when I get some money together. Though when I was at uni, there was talk of me and a few friends getting together to make noise in a Wolf Eyes style once we got our equipment togehter, and I should be back there next year...
And I've talked your ear off.
and to throw a real curve-ball, I've been trying to rap. Seriously. Not like gangster-rap or anything, but...
