I play drums. I took lessons for 3 or 4 years when I was younger, and then kind of lost interest for a couple years, not really practicing seriously and only playing in very informal jam sessions with friends. I started practicing seriously again just earlier this month, and it does feel good!
At some point I would like to learn to play flute, or maybe saxophone. I also think it would be fun to mess around with a contrabass sarrusophone, but I doubt I'll ever have the opportunity.

if you haven't heard Toad by Cream, that song has some drums that will keep you inspired.
Played guitar for about 9 and a half years now, and I've been playing keyboard on and off for about three and a half. Never really bothered trying very hard with the latter so I still suck. Self-taught on both accounts.
In addition to drums, I also play synthesizer, although not with the intention of actually practicing or playing in a band or anything. I just sit down, mess around with the thing, and create new sounds - sometimes for hours. Check out this baby:
My dad bought it off a guy for 50 bucks ages ago. These synthesizers sell for thousands now.

It's a hang. It has to be one of the coolest instruments I've ever seen in my life, but they're apparently super difficult to get.
I know a guy that made one out of a propane tank. If you search "home made hang drum" on YouTube you can find a video of a guy who made his own, as well. That's probably my next project.
And I play drums, and various odds and ends that you can beat, smack, or bash with sticks.
I would do just about anything to get one of these:

This is really cool, I have seen these before. I used to play steel drum for a couple years, and it seems as if they made the drums convex. That or they flipped them upside down and banged divots the other way.
Simple enough to make a new instrument, but brilliant enough to kick yourself for not thinking of it hahaha.
