sure, they get the most groupies. and drummers get the least 
three musicians, and a drummer, were sitting in a bar.
the band, and the drummer, please get on stage!
we've already recorded all the music for our new album...now we only need to record the drum-tracks.
i've got lots of instruments, and a drumset.

Guitar classes for 7 years which led me to get knowledge in string struments in general which led me to get education on percussion and drums which led me to start to produce eletronic music which is leading me to get more and more musical education.  |

I played violin between ages 5 and 12, sang in a boys choir for a while and ages 11 to 17 went to a specialized music school.
Used to be fluent in reading and writing notation back then as well as having a decent clue about theory, but since I haven't had any real use for those skills since then I guess I lost it by now.

Started piano lessons when I was 5, finished when I was 18; been playing piano nearly 33 years now! Grade 5 music theory at school, where I also learned bass guitar and played timpani in the school orchestra; 1st year of music A-level at college where I pwnd the college studio and played timpani and percussion in the college orchestra, and piano in the college big-band. Been playing keyboards in pop/rock/funk/soul/jazz/covers/folk bands since I got my first synth (Juno 6) when I was 15, and was working as assistant producer in my local 24-track studio when I was 17/18.
Life is a musical education for me

Some of us got a late start due to being raised in extremely poor families that couldn't even hardly afford to buy a rusty old trumpet...Now I'm going at it much more, but I still need to finish school first and get a "real" job so I can afford nice instruments to learn on. I'm very thankful software is around or I may have never gotten a chance to even start in this type of music...

From age 8 to 12 (4 years) classical guitar lessons, which meant learning to play boring etudes which was why i quit. 2 years after quitting playing classical guitar i bought an electric guitar and from age 12 until 18 i had lessons (6 years) and spent hours each day learing the wrong stuff, mostly fast Satriani and Vai licks and solo's, but almost never whole tunes (eeeediot). I did learn to play a lot of hendrix and also thrash and death metal though. I played in several bands from age 15 till my 23, mostly playing rock, metal, jazz and fusion. After quitting the last band because i didn't like the direction it was going in i walked into a goa and psychedelic techno party by chance while high on liberty caps and after that infectious experience i spent a few years playing no instrument whatsoever but partying instead. Then at age 25/26 i got into making psytrance, which is what i've been doing for the last few years. I've been reading a lot of music theory and audio engineering books and i will until i feel that i understand most of it fully, however i seriously doubt whether it will help you in producing psytrance after you understand the basic stuff because if you apply strange time signatures, sophisticated chord progressions and things like that it won't be recognized as psytrance. Downtempo music is much better for me to try out music and composition theory.
So it's the same for me as in most CV's of people who make psy: "i used to play classical and jazz music for years but now i make the same generic, bog-standard trance as everybody else"

Viola from 7-17... Never could actually afford one of my own though... Eventually I might get into finding a way to use one to make weird noises, generally in an orchestra setting the viola did the accompanying harmony to the violins. So because of that we didn't get to play the interesting notes, or many of the high ones either... For instance in Pachelbel's canon, the violins get all the good notes... the viola sheet music looked like a 4 bar sequence of 8th notes repeated 52 times.... lame because it was also pizzicato... So in a sense that really had an effect on the music that I write today... I tend to shy away from the higher melodic leads and lean more toward the lower harmonical leads... I'm trying to break myself of that though...
