Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist? Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed. For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?

Does singing count? If so, then yes I perform for people. If not, then screw you it should count >=T

I'm surprised that almost 42%, so far, don't play an instrument what so ever. I would've guessed that number to be smaller.

I play just enough electric guitar to annoy my family.

I guess I am probably one of a minority of career musicians on Woot. I like to thump a good bass from time to time.

I play percussion and lately have been spending more time building my own percussion instruments. It's been a lot of fun.

Here's a Cajon I just finished up. It's a type of latin traditional percussion instrument. You sit on it and play the front.

It's a large pic so I won't inline it.

If this is meant to wonder if I would buy musical instruments from Woot! then wonder no more. I would. I already have multiple purchases from HelloMusic and as good as they are, I have confidence that Woot! would bring me even better deals on guitars, amps, effects, drums, mics, etc. Bring it on, Woot!

Good poll, maybe we'll start seeing some musical instruments on Woot. I'm in. I play anything with strings on it and would like to see a decent electronic drum set I could use for studio work.

Um...no comment.

I'm thinking about learning to play the guitar, it looks like a good time. Not professionally of course, just something to keep me occupied.

I'm no career musician (rather, I play for free, I don't care about making money). I've played Bass guitar for ten years and counting. It's an Ibanez Sound Gear 5-string bass.

As for everything else, I know basic keyboard, currently learning regular guitar (electric), know some harmonica, played the drum set for over a year now (rock kit), know some basic Cajon, a Cambodian two-string fiddle called the Tro-Sau for over a year, DJ for seven years, beatbox on and off for five years, done music production for three years, and occasional rapper and singer. Of all of those instruments, the one I've never played in front of a live audience is electric guitar.

In the future, I plan on learning electric violin, flute, Fue (Japanese flutes), ocarina, complex turntablism and beat juggling, synthesizer, recorder, clarinet, Cambodian flute, and maybe some others I can't think of.

Yeah, I want to be a multi-instrumentalist, I personally don't think I am, nor do I say I'm a musician. I just love music.
