    A mandola. I already play guitar and bass guitar and I used to own a mandolin, but I really quite fancy learning a mandola.

      It’s easy, get some sticks and start banging on things… It’s not like us drummers are smart or talented 😁

        I’ve known some drummers that were talented. Smart? Ehhh, now that’s pushing it.

        What drummers DO have, though, is killer upper body stamina.

    Guitar. There are so many songs I love that I wish I could play. Stuff by Alan Gogoll for example. But he’s very skilled and would take years to get even close to him.

    Saxophone. I know how to play keyboards, a couple of stringed instruments, and drums. I don’t know how to play any wind/brass instrument other than the flute.

    I play a few different string instruments and keyboards, but drums would be a blast. Got to work on my feet though, never been a foot tapper!

    Piano. I can play acoustic and electric guitar (yes, they are the same instrument, but you play them differently, and I can play both styles very proficiently), bass guitar, ukulele, drums, various percussion instruments, and I sing. I even played a stand-up bass one time and I was able to play it just fine after 5 minutes of dicking around. I have tried many times to learn piano but it’s so damn hard. I can get by enough to record some basic stuff with some editing fuckery. But I’m nowhere near good enough to just play a song all the way through with it sounding good and without tons of mistakes.

    Cello, I love the sound and atmosphere of it. But at some point you need to make choices. I’ve played the clarinet as a kid and I have piano lessons since a year or two, so for now I’ll focus on the latter. Can’t have it all. 🙂

    Hurdy Gurdy, apparently it is normally a left handed instrument, and as a militant southpaw I like this idea.

    Theremin SO MUCH

    I piano a little and drums a bit but theremins are the most fascinating instrument to me. You can play without even touching?! Amazing!

    Not so much a traditional instrument, but I would love to learn how to make music through software like Sony acid pro. I had a friend once who did it and he did some really great stuff.

      The barrier to entry is lower than you think. Plenty of good free DAWs out there. I use reaper which has an unlimited free trial.

      Download some plugins and you’re off to the races. I’d encourage you to jump in and give it a go
