Played the trumpet thru my junior year in college. (was actually ranked #2 in the state in HS at one time) Anyway, I decided that having to play 5 days a week for 1 lousy credit hour at a school that offered no music minor while trying to complete an engineering degree was bullsh*t. So I put the horn down, grew a moustache and never looked back.

More or less the same...minus the #2 ranking, engineering degree, and mustache   :aok

I always liked playing jazz the most, but some of our wind ensemble tunes were phenominal.

Cool :aok  I played a lot of Brass Ensemble stuff before I quit. E-flat cornet was a blast... always felt like I was on PBS.  :lol

We actually had a Materials Science professor who played the bag pipes; Kilt, the whole nine yards. :D  We used to do concerts with the guy.

Oh, and get this: The #1 trumpet player in school was a EE who was working on his PhD. The guy had no fingers on his left hand! Used to twirl his horn with it. And that sucker could play! :rock Made me feel like a lightweight.

Hmmm how did he use his first and third tuning slides?  Or did he pitch down entirely with his mouth? 

I think my favorite song I ever played in an ensemble was probably Brecker Bro.'s "Some Skunk Funk."  We didn't quite play it at full speed, but quite close.  Tower of Power tunes were always fun too. 

I played taps every night at the camp where I worked for years...only real use I ever got out of my horn outside of school or college related groups.  A couple buddies and myself almost started a Ska group, but it never came to be.

He did it entirely with his lip. Very impressive horn player. Of course, that guy spent a lot of time way up beyond High-C, so he was used to it.

I used to make a little extra money playing Taps at funerals. Always felt a little bad about getting paid for it though.

I love it too 8)  I was inspired to learn to play from listening to Randy Rhoads.  It's a 91 USA Rhoads Serial#UO1213.  In the picture, you can see some green scribbles on the graphics.  That's where Anthrax signed it.  Scott Ian was like "Hey Frank (Bello), look this guy has Danny's (Spitz) guitar"  :) (Danny wasn't present).  Most of the soundtrack on my AoAH video was on my Rhoads, with just a portion on the tydye dinky.

If you know guitars from that era you'll probably remember the Charvel Surfcaster.

I remember those.  I never tried one.

I thought I really wanted a Kelly, but last year when I was shopping for another axe without a trem, I looked at a Kelly, a King V, and a Dinky.  I ended up getting a second Dinky.  I'm so used to the balance of my Rhoads, that the King V just feels akward to me.

I played clarinet in junior high and in high school marching band for two years.  When I wasn't having to play and march at the same time in high school I was playing the bass clarinet (which is my favorite of the two, even though the bass can't sing anywhere near as high and crisp as a regular one).

Not my kit but I have the same one with 14"zildjian New Beat hi hats, 22" Avedis Zildjian ride, 16" Zildjian Z Custom crash and an 18" Zildjian Z Custom crash. I also use a Yamaha 6 1/2 X 14 brass snare instead of the Pacific stock snare and a Tama Iron Cobra double pedal.

I also have a mid 90's Pearl BLX in blue Laquered finish. Real nice drums better then the Pacifics but they have been beat to crap after years of road abuse. They cost me a small fortune when I bought them new so I decided it was time to retire them before they became unplayable.

I use : Jackson soloist, Gibson Les Paul DC, Fender Telecaster, and an old old Charvel that I hot rodded up.

          Only pedals I use are a Danelectro "Cool Cat" chorus and a Dunlop crybaby wah.

I actually just today went to the local GC and checked out a Yamaha MO8, $1500 bucks, 12 month same as cash.

No I'm kind of old school with my setup. I do agree it looks cool, problem is I cant get a clean hit on the rack tom with it real flat like that. To much rim not enough skin so I have to tilt it a little bit. I also tilt my cymbals a little bit, the experts say if keep them real flat you'll crack them more often. When you strike cymbal you are supposed to hit it with a glancing blow, with them real flat the strike is more dead on.

Currently using:


Taylor 12 string Grand Auditorium Electro Acoustic
Gibson J165 6 String Cutaway

Epiphone Les Paul (not orginal pups in it, this thing sounds gorgeous)
JDB Custom - sorta Fender shaped, dual buckers - sustains forever, sounds amazing when amped up and a bit of fuzz applied
Schecter C1 Classic with the Vine of life neck inlay (not used much, as not my favourite sounding axe, but works ok for when using heavy fuzz and banging out power chords etc)

Columbus Semi Hollow (think 135 shape) - whilst not the best guitar, it plays like butter, sounds good amped etc

Other guitars I own

Takamine 12 string - plays like butter, sounds great - superseded by the Taylor
Washburn DN40 6 string acoustic - my first guitar - no pickups, beautiful sounding and one of the few keepers I have
Epiphone Masterbuilt - 6 string acoustic - nice sounding guitar, no pickups - lovely rich sounds, nice v shaped neck (prefer thicker necks, having beefer fingers etc)

and a few others that I dont much play to be honest.
