View Full Version : Instrument You Play (Pics)

I play drums, and my digital camera is attached to my computer so I can't take pics of it. It's a basic starter kit, Sunlite. 2 mounted Toms, 1 Floor Tom, Bass, Snare, Hi-Hat, 16 Inch Crash Ride. Small set, nothing special, just figured we'd get this started. I've played off and on for 7 years (sometimes taking month long breaks) not very good.
How about the rest of you, instrument you play, how long, etc.

I've been playing guitar for almost 5 years now and am self-taught (though I'm starting to see the negative effects of this). As of now, I'm trying to teach myself theory as opposed to improving technique, but it's going pretty slowly. Currently, I'm playing a Jem555bk - it's one of those hideous Steve Vai guitars with the handle. ;)

I've been playing guitar 9-10 years now, can sorta of play drums, and I'm a semi decent vocalist. If I had a digital camera I would take pictures. I recently sold my Mesa\Boogie Triple Rectifer on ebay not too long ago, and that was my best piece of gear. Also, was the most expensive at the time I got it.
I have a Gibson Les Paul, Fender Telecaster, and Fender Acoustic. Right now I'm not in a band so I sold my Triple Rectifer, and just started using a old peavy 5150 thats a quarter Stack. I have a shure Microphone. I would love to pick up a Drum set. But, in my current living situation I can't have Drums.

Electric, Acoustic, Bass : 1 year, 5 years, 1 year
Been playin electric bout a year now on an ESP Ltd H-200, hung out and tried to play electric w/ my dads band, but since january ive really gotten into it, been playin couple hours a day. acoustic, i use my moms Martin HD-35, and my dads takamine 12str, i messed around with them a lot, my parents have both played for almost 40 years, but wasnt very interested in country, and was never any good till i got into opeth in january (thanks to palmy and roms). bass, i just know basic stuff cuz my dad plays a fender bass, and sometimes i fill in.
im interested in learning piano, i love writing music, and just playing.

Then there's my old instruments that I used to play. I don't have any pictures of them since I sold them awhile back.
Bach 180 series.

Fender 1993 Jazz Bass with a wood finish (can't find any pictures of it)
I played Bass for about 5 years, Trumpet for 6 and a little bit of drums in school jazz band. I have mp3's of me playing all of three in Jazz Band if anyone wants to hear them.

cheap Ibanez TR500 (or something like that) that I got off Ebay, with a simple 50-watter and a 10 dollar distortion pedal. Have had it for about a year. It works for what I do, lol. I got it on the day Hurricane Isabel made landfall last year, so I named my guitar "Isabel". My cat rocks too, see.

Been playing for almost a year now, my first guitar is the Mansfield (haha) and my second REAL guitar is the B.C. Rich Warlock. I've always wanted that guitar and when I found one that was left handed (being lefty sucks) I just had to buy it.

I got 2 amps.
A shit Ibanez which I didn't bother taking a picture of.
And a 400 watt Peavy. It's in my basement, I dented the screen and broke a knob so it looks shitty. But it works nicely.

shitty little cb set, but with new heads its really coming together.
old pics but i think the only thing different is the bass head and hat stand.
http://www.snorland.com/store/tedor/drums1.jpg
rofl still need to dust them off.
18" ride that i use as a crash, 16" crash that i use as a ride.
22" bass with a nice evans head. 16" 13" and 12" toms with
pinstripe batters and ebony resos. snare has some remo head.
i have a set of pacific double bass pedals, not perfect but they
do the job, and the price was right. ($70)
also have a 5" cowbell.
my instructor is gonna let his 22" zildjian k go for $100, just need to get the money.
edit: veek, doesn't the sun/weather mess them up? :(

I have that distortion pedal. It's built like a fucking tank.
I have a beater Samick w/ an equally beater-level Samick amp (starter kit, woo woo) and a Schecter Diamond Series A7+, which ended up being a waste of money since I stopped playing the fucking thing after 2 years. I'm trying to sell the A7+ right now and I'm still pretty happy with how the Samick plays, even though it's cheap.

Well, I haven't been playing as much as I should be recently, but here's my bass:

The pics don't really do it justice, it looks a lot better in real life.
I got it used for pretty cheap, and it's served me quite well.
I played for quite a while pretty regularly before I moved, but afterwards I never really got back into it. It's hard to play bass without a band, it's just not too much fun. I'm starting to pick up guitar though, and my sister has a guitar she never uses I'll probably get fixed and use before too long.

I got one crash, the china, the hi-hats, and the splash in a pack. It was......something like 200 I think....I don't really remember, I got them for a present. Then the other crash and the ride I also got in a pack, but I have no idea how much they were, been too long ago.

October 21st, 2004, 04:49 PM
