Been playing guitar for about 10 years, mainly metal ie: protest the hero, august burns red etc.
Self taught myself drums, again mainly metal or just adding drums to songs that dont have them
Bought a keyboard about a year ago and taught myself piano. Been trying to learn some beethoven and some piano classics (my immortal, fur elis etc)

I used to play guitar a lot but some of my other hobbies kinda took over and my gear is now mostly collecting dust (kinda a shame as I have some nice stuff....two US Jacksons, a Mark IV, etc.).
Mainly played metal as well. Stuff like At the Gates, (old) In Flames, Iced Earth, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, etc.
I still pick up the guitar once in a blue moon but pretty rare these days.
EDIT: I used to post on ESP forums a lot before I switched to GTAM

eDrums, pad the kick.
Took guitar lessons many years ago but it didn't stick and I got frustrated and stopped regret it but can't seem to get started again so guitar and amp sit there wasting away...
waiting for midlife crisi to come by when I'll buy a vette and start a rock band with some buddies!

Always considered selling my drumsets for one of these. Easier to record.

Don't get frustrated, Trust me, things take time -- hell 10 years later i'm still learning new things.
And also to tweak the sound of the kit and effects after you've MIDIfied everything. And then a bit of Quantize so you sound as precise as Neil Peart.

Check out some of the jazz guys! All you gotta do is pick up a real book and theres a ton of "easy to learn" standards in there
I was waiting for this one lol

Just thinking about how I am going to answer this question makes me feel old.
I've been playing guitar for around 25 years now, but was only really active for the first 10 years when I was in a few bands. Since then I mostly just pick up the guitar or the bass on a Saturday night, plug into Guitar Rig, and muck about for a couple hours while drinking. I also used to play sax and clarinet, and could figure out a few things on a piano, but those days are long gone and forgotten.
Now-a-days when I play, it is usually some sort of blues or blues rock -- like Zeppelin, Hendrix, SRV, ZZTop, etc..
If we weren't all so far apart, we should have a GTAM jam -- non-serious and booze involved type thing, but I doubt it work out as every one seems spread apart (especially Lightcycle), and I no longer have suitable gear to jam with -- as I sold my Marshall stack a few years back -- these days most of my playing runs through my computer and headphones.

Electric guitar for 20 years. Played in some crappy post-grunge bands in college/university, then random projects including some spoken word stuff that I'd back with bluesy riffs/leads. These days I only play at home to entertain the kid.
Also built a bunch of guitars from scratch about 10 years ago. My main axe is my own creation.
