I play bass, but I can play drums. The only beat I know is simple lockstep D-Beat.

I don't exactly play drums, but I can stand behind them and bang out wild tribal stuff on the tom drums. It seems to work when I'm improvising with friends.

Sounds like what I do. Shame none of my friends like tribal drumming. Or deathrock/post-punk/ausgang-type punk.

I play taiko. I'm pretty sure none of you know what that is, so I'll just leave it at that.

I can play guitar and bass quite easily...drumming has never come to me easily atall.

Like I find clarinet easier than all of them, some people are just better at some things than others.

Large (somewhat) Japanese (I believe) drum played with thick sticks.

It is a shame. You should move here. When I improv stuff with my friends it usually sounds like some sort of unholy bastardization of Ausgang and the Deadfly Ensemble.

Drum machines all the way! I love the sounds they make, plus our band needs a constant, reliable rhythm. And it adds to the goth points.

Yep. I program music, apparently. I love Fruity Loops for its versatile drum synths. Fucking amazing.
