17 yrs percussionist, 10 yrs bassist and guitarist. And I can read music too . . . SCORE! I float around a bit, I just love learning new techniques. Last year I was obsessed with slap/pop and raking and extreme finger tapping (as if it were piano) on the bass. But now, I'm back to percussion, learning all the various feet tricks and floating techniques with the hands. In fact, I have an audition tonight for a band . . . so we'll see how it goes.

But yes, having the ability to play an instrument is definately one of the coolest things I can say I have in my life.
