We've got an electric organ, a sax, drums, guitar and bass guitar. We sound less like the Beatles than most of the groups.

Dave Clark

I don't ever have any bass in my monitors at all; I instead like to lock in with the guitar. I know the bass player has got to be locked in with the drummer, but to me, metal music is about the guitar and drums locking in and operating like a machine together. I played with my brother forever, and we were magically locked in together.

Vinnie Paul

As a musician, I don't think I'm the greatest guitar player. I'm a bigger fan of the drums than I am the guitar; I just happen to play guitar. I play drums almost every day at my house. I wrote a lot of songs behind the drum kit, just having the music and vocals in my head and playing the rhythm.

Daron Malakian

At a young age I thought, 'Wow, that fiddle thing, that's pretty cool. That mandolin is great. These drums, I like these drums ' They were Indian drums. And I was saying, 'But that guitar. That guitar. Girls are going to like that guitar.'

Robbie Robertson

At a young age I thought, 'Wow, that fiddle thing, that's pretty cool. That mandolin is great. These drums, I like these drums... ' They were Indian drums. And I was saying, 'But that guitar. That guitar. Girls are going to like that guitar.'

Robbie Robertson

In the studio, we sometimes will add bass or some other stuff, like more layers of the same guitar part that's already there, but ultimately, the sound is about guitar and drums.

Liv Bruce

With guitar, bass and drums, you've got limited horizons.

Bernard Sumner

My favorite moments are when the bass falls in the pocket with the drums, the guitar is on top just slicing it, and the melody is scraping across like a sidewinder shattering through the monitor. It's just, ahhh, I love it! That's the jones, the hit, the buzz right there. It gets me off.

Nikki Sixx

Drums, bass, guitar, keys, I play a little of each of those.

Mayer Hawthorne

I like a nice rumble on bass, openness on guitar and drums that breathe.

Rory Gallagher

I can play piano, classical flute, guitar, bass and I'm OK on drums.

KT Tunstall

As a rock band, you're slightly one foot in the past, playing instruments like guitar, bass and drums.

Matt Bellamy

More traditional guitar, bass, drums - it's not something completely natural to me. It's, in a way, exotic.

Mike Patton

I play bass. I play a bit of guitar. I've never been to a lesson, so my theory of music is non-existent in any instrument, but we always had guitars around. My dad taught me to play drums for 'Love Actually,' and I still play drums now. But I'm not a 'drummer.' I'm not a 'guitarist.' I'm trying to be a bassist.

Thomas Brodie-Sangster

The drums were new to me; I was just playing what was in my head. I was a guitar player originally - so on the drums, I just played what was in my head rather than caring too much about what others were playing. And in that way, I came up with a simple but unique style.
