I think my first instrument was a ukulele that they gave me. I used to know how to play that pretty well.
The accordion was the first instrument I played, when I was 7 years old.
That first bass I had was an Eko, a very old thing with a thin neck, I had that for quite a while.
Genetics and beats? I feel like the drumbeat is a natural thing. Our heartbeat moves at a certain BPM. The drumbeat, being the first instrument, the platform for us, being that we all kind of come from that - it's all beats.
I am a trombone player, and that was my first instrument.
I guess my first instrument was the recorder when I was about five or six.
My first instrument was a little blue ukele.
I got my first trumpet when I was six years old, from Al Hirt. My father was playing in Al Hirt's band at that time.
Somehow, trumpet is the reference point for me - it was actually my first instrument.
Piano was my first instrument, but it wasn't the instrument that I showed the most proficiency on.
