Musicians on CUK?

Got lessons on snare drum from when I was 11, progressed into a pretty damn fine kit player by the time I was 20, still got a bit of the magic but you have to be playing 6 hours a day to master an instrument and I don't have the time any more.
I have a good grasp of musical theory and can work out some decent stuff on the piano but don't have the ability to actually play it well, same with the guitar.
Piano and drums are totally different, drums you just have to play and play the same thing over and over again, rudiments in a wax on wax off style. left right left left, right left right right. Do that and the rudiment variances for 10 years and you get good.
Piano to me is about getting chords sounding good "let's take that chord, drop the root on the right, play the 7th & 11th with the left, don't sound good, hit the 9th, na, drop the 3rd out on the right, OK got it, which chord do I move to now..." and it all starts again. Complicated.Last edited by minestrone; 20 November 2012, 19:46.Comment

I'd love to play electric guitar and drums but I'm put off the former by all the crap you seem to need... amps and pre-amps and pedals and so on... and I just don't seem able to keep a rhythm with my foot while doing stuff with my hands.
Maybe I'll stick with acoustic and take up bongos, far more Christian I do have a rainbow guitar strap on my 12-stringOriginally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment
