Just curious to see what percentage of PA members like jamming from time to time.

I play drums/percussion. 
I own a Fender Jazz Bass, but haven't picked it up and put time into learning it..

I'm not in a band though i wish i was. There aren't any good musicians that i know so i tend to just jam alone or just play at some sit-ins at my school. I'm the drummer for our school jazz band as well.

Used to try to play music, but found out it was distracting me from other goals that I wanted to accomplish. Might pick up playing later, but for now, I just enjoy listening to it.

I don't, i have tried, but have permanent problems in co-ordination/steadiness in general, so musical instruments are not for me. I can appreciate good playing to the skies, though!

Yes
Dig me...But don't...Bury me
I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive

I'm learning guitar, I'd say I'm somewhere between a beginner and a mediocre player
I can kinda fumble with keys

Guitar and keys are my main instruments, though I can doodle on many others.

No, could never get me anywhere near one. Tongue

It is just a hobby and I've been messing around with guitar and keyboards years.  Mostly improvisation.  Which reminds me, I need to take a break and re-string the old one.

i think it would an interesting poll to see how many users compose music and stuff too, not simply play instruments

Yep, I play keys, I'm the guy in the red shirt and black jacket.  Biggest stage I've ever played on.  It was in a country band but it was still a lot of fun.  My keys were so loud during the sound check that they echoed off of a bridge full of rush hour traffic that was a quarter mile away.

Oh, I don't just jam. I write and arrange. I don't do experiments very much. I play acoustic and electric guitars but the acoustic piano is my weapon of choice.

I play guitar and sing in a band, been together about 8 years.
