I used to play a lot of piano, and for a while I played the bagpipes, but sadly, I didn't keep it up through high-school. I'm essentially back at square one musically, and I really regret it...

Amateur jazz musician. I played in the main big band at my college and in the local big band in the community, as well as some small combo ensembles. If I had the desire, and the dedication, I could probably do it professionally, but I don't want such a stressful lifestyle.

Trying to score professional gigs all the time, wondering whether or not you'll get enough to pay the bills this month? That's not stressful?

I collect instruments. I have a harp, an electric guitar, a piano, ceramic drums, a Kaossilator, a large bongo, shakers, a tambourine, two recorders, at least one ocarina and a chord organ, plus I'm pretty skilled with GarageBand.

I can play all those adequately enough not to suck, but I'm the best on guitar, keyboards, Kaossilator and drums (just drums in general).

No, as in I acquired them over the course of my life.

Actually, not even that. The drums and piano are my family's.

I play guitar, alto saxophone, drums, bass, viola, violin, keyboard, and I'm slowly making progress with electronic MIDIs and programming. But I'm pretty horrible at it. Plus, I'm a pretty great singer, I have a four to five octave vocal range, an ability to imitate just about anyone, and the ability to perform Death Growls and mid-range screams. I can't do those high Black Metal screams, however.

If you can master it, it can work well in a musical context.

Definately. I had to learn them for a Post-Hardcore band I was once in, not Black Metal. It was one section of four screamed words, and it fucked the entire song up that I couldn't do them.
