Which Instrument Should I Play?

[ZonGuy]

The following test is helpful in determining which instrument in the band you should play.

1. Tap a steady beat with your right hand. Now tap the melody line to "Smoke on the Water" with with your left hand.

If you can do this, you should be the drummer.

2) If you can't do the above, tap a steady beat with your right foot. Now tap the melody line to "Smoke on the Water" with with your left hand.

If you can do this, you should be the bass player.

3) If you can't do the above, tap a steady beat with your right foot.

If you can't do this, you should be the guitar player.

Blimey...it works!

[kenlacam]

nonsense. Play nothing, according to those guidelines. Just sit back and enjoy the band.

^^I guess you didn't get the joke...

[Steve!]

If you think you are too cool to do any of that you should be a singer.

[OneMoreRobot]

Haha I like it.

[Ripper]

i can do 1 but not 2... guess i picked the wrong instrument


but then again i have done SOTW on my bass... both parts to it

[Stumbo]

What if you can tap your head with a steady beat and pass out while doing so?
What instrument should I play?

[Hagelslag]

I can't do the first but can do the second. Turns out I made the right choice!

[Bruce Lindfield]

There's a melody line to "Smoke on the Water"!!??

[Pilgrim]

I tried it. I think I hurt myself.

Perhaps I should be the beertender.

[Fassa Albrecht]

Heh heh I got drums.

1) If you open the fridge door, grab the last beer from the box, open it and drink half of it quickly then walk back into the rehearsal room and when someone, (the guitarist), asks; "Hey, did you grab the last beer?" And you answer; "No, this is my other beer from before, see, its half gone." ..... Then you should be a drummer.
2) If you own an instrument only because you saw someone else playing it and you thought he looked really cool, so, to you, it would make perfect sense that you'd look equally as cool playing it. ..... Then you should be a guitar player.
3) If you can keep you're cool while everyone else around you is loosing theirs. .... Then you should be a bass player.
4) Plus, if you can take all the left overs from all the old beers, cig butts and all, and pour it into a bottle, put the lid back on it and put it back in the empty box in the fridge while the drummer is in the bathroom. And if you can be the guy who tells the guitarist, "Yea, sure man, you'd look even cooler than that guy if you owned that guitar." Then you have no other choice but to be the bass player.

The old saying sure is true; 'Bass players do have more fun'.

if you say you need more of you tapping your hand in your monitor, you should be the drummer.

if you can't tap a beat with your hands at all, but can sound cool talking about tapping your hands, become a music journalist.

[Icarus26]

what if you can pat the top of your head with one hand and rub your tummy with the other?

[headonastick]

Hmm, I can do number one but only if I tap quavers, not if I do crotchets.

[The_Ox]

I tried and got bassoon.

I don't think I'm doing this right
