played bass but in a hc/punk band so i never bothered with actually being able to play good. i have a good sense of rhythm though, something which confusingly many bassists i knew back then lacked.
i also played kalimba as a kid, it was cool because you play it like a gamepad
edit: sometimes i still play bass, but plugged into my laptop via the internal soundcard and with so many fx on the channel that i have a latency of like a second so the only thing i play is drone-y doomgaze stuff
kinda like this
bass guitar -> DISTORT THE FUCK OUT OF IT -> send to different channels with fun stuff like graindelays and lots of verb, add a drumloop, zone out for hours on end

I've met waaayyy too many bass players who couldn't keep a rhythm the most underrated part of the band too

yeah out of the few songs i started learning it was shit like britney spears - toxic and some justin timberlake stuff. not confident enough to sing in front of people though.
Dubmatters ... I don't even...... Anyways, I come from a pretty musical background. Even though I'm only thirteen, I still play trumpet, guitar, piano, and drums.

I play guitar,though it seems to be only when I'm drunk these days (which could be to my benefit as I like playing sludge/doom/stoner metal more and more now)
own a saxophone and started learning it but kind of stopped before I got any good
I played a little bit of everything but nevr got great at anything.
Picked up a copy of fruity loops like 12 years ago and just fell in love with hip hop and dance music, then when i first hard Dubstep I was like holy shit, this is my shit, and never wanted to do anything else again.
