I know I may not sound as cool as some people on OT, but I play the:

Baritone, Trombone, and trumpet. A little tuba as well.

what instrument do you play?

violin

i would play a sax but it would remind too much of those weird band players in star wars.

Yup.

Guitar, piano, synths/keyboards, music/ dj software. :)

I'd like to learn to play the drums sometime but I don't even know where to begin.

My house is incredibly cramped with musical instruments so I'd have to find somewhere to put it first. Maybe the basement...

Besides that I wouldn't know what kind to get. I know a guy at the local Guitar Center who's into drumming so I could get his imput. My birthday is coming up next month so maybe I could arrange something. :)

I play bass, vocals and a little guitar.Bloodaxe726

PS: Anyone doing Cowbell?

I'm a violinist. been playing for over 10 years now and can plan basically anything and everything out there. (not bragging, being honest) but I do plan on learning electric guitar and piano. once you've played one instrument, it becomes very easy to learn another since many aspects of music you've already grasped.morpheusnj

I'd have to see it to believe it... the Brahms violin concerto, the complete Paganini Caprices, and the complete Bach solo violin sonatas would make a solid argument. If you can actually play these works to a professional standard after only 10 years of practice, you have a significant musical talent. Agreed on learning other instruments... but it's not as smooth a transition when the instruments are not especially similar to each other. You'd do very well to learn piano, though. The nature of the instrument makes it an excellent bridge to others. Not perfecting, mind you. Just the learning part. When I started violin, I found it ridiculously easy to read a single line, and my knowledge of music was already developed, but that didn't make it any easier to learn to bow properly, which is an altogether different physical technique from the technique of playing piano.

I played piano for a long time, and almost earned my performer's classification other than my complete disinterest in taking further supplemental classes like music history (most boring subject ever), counterpoint and harmony. I'm a few years out of practice now, of course, but for a while I did a lot of playing, from background music at restaurants to various choirs and singing groups. I wish I had room for a small electric piano in my current apartment. I also played the trombone for a few years in high school, although I enjoyed unloading the spit valve on the female members of the band more than actually playing it. Plus, the various band trips were awesome.DJ_Lae

You're Canadian, right?

Music history is rather interesting, actually. But the way the exams are administered is crap, at least for the RCM. If those are the exams you are referring to, I understand. Counterpoint and harmony are aggravating to learn, but so very useful if you want to really understand music, and ESPECIALLY if you want to write music that uses more than a small collection of diatonic chords in one key.

So when you say close... did you work on ARCT (or equivalent) repertoire?
