Drums! Easy as hell to play by ear, and I got into it at a young age. I was 9 and at a house warming party, where long story short, my mother's friend's teenage son offered to give me lessons. It was all downhill from there. Every year I asked for a kit for christmas untill I got one, at which point I asked for a new cymbal or piece of hardware every year.
Nowadays iv been getting back into it. I didn't play much after high school, but im still not too shabby. I bought a Ludwig kit off a friend recently, so now I finally have some decent drums. Basic 5-piece (though Id prefer more) with a double-bass petal. Sabian cymbals and Gibraltar hardware. Hat, 2 rides, a crash/ride (some crappy company), 2 crashes, splash, and a cowbell.
I dabble in other forms of percussion, but my skill is all in the drums. Iv dabbled in guitar as well, and simply wish like crazy that I could play the piano.
