i was unfortunately in marching band and drumline in high school. did it for gym credits but i did learn how to socialize at least.

played mallet stuff like marimba, xylophone, etc. can kind of play piano because of that but im not very good at it.

    I took drum lessons when I was in middle school and I was really into it, but my Dad didn’t want me annoying neighbors so I was never allowed to have an actual drumset at home, so I’ve made a habit of just kinda banging on makeshift drumkits using things like practice pads and pots and pans and whatnot, a tradition that continues till this day, and I find it fun enough that actually buying a kit never felt absolutely necessary, tho the gf bought an electric drumkit not long ago, and when I move in it’s definitely not gonna be collecting dust aha.

    I’m very fond of my electric bass and that’s what gets most of my playtime… by no means am I an exceptionally skilled player or anything, nor have I been formally trained like I have been with drums, but I can throwdown I guess lololol.

    One thing that’s been consistent is that I have a pretty good sense of rhythm. I have some regular electric guitar skills, and I do have two electric guitars that are both on the cheaper side of things, but it’s mostly rhythm guitar parts that I play. I’d like it if I had more of a knack for playing lead, and I’ve been thinking of polishing up my guitar play so I can be well-rounded enough to record my own DIY solo stuff. Y’know, maybe I can be just like M.O.T.O. or Ty Segall or something, just far more uninspiring and with way shittier equipment and far more voicecracks bahahahahaha
