For example, I play the drums and tend to think of myself as a drummer. Do you love games, consider yourself a gamer? Are you a chef, a bodybuilder, maybe an artist? What is it that you love to do?

I really identify with instruments as well, my drummer friend. I would call myself a guitarist, mainly, but I can play drums and produce music as well so maybe I could expand that title to just 'musician'. Keep on slamming those skins.

Oh hell yeah! Guitar is my second instrument, I'm not nearly as good at it as drums but it's really fun too! I can't produce at all though yet, my experiments there have been a disaster 😅

I'm curious though, what kinda music do you tend to gravitate towards?

Honestly, metal and hardcore music is my bread and butter, but I am pretty ADHD when it comes to music. I've also made hip hop beats, and edm tracks. I listen to just about anything except pop and country(I love some bluegrass and hyperpop though).

I am like the opposite to you where I am not nearly as good at drums as I am on guitar, but drums are so much fun. What kind of music do you like to play and listen to?

It's mostly just metal or rock for me lol. I don't branch out much to be honest, I listen to some punk, hip hop, and pop too, but not a lot. I don't think I really dislike much of anything though, I've gotten a lot more tolerant of country after being made to listen to it in the car a bunch 😝
