I have a piano sitting behind me against the opposite wall of where I am, and I can play that. I'm not good, not by a long stretch, but I can play chopsticks if you give me 30 minutes.
It seems that I innately understand music from that perspective. I enjoy leading a band and desire to hear my contribution to the music. Sometimes I think I could be playing all the other instruments though obviously each require great dedication and pratice to master. I've been recording myself since an early age and have used that mechanism to learn and improve my skills. Along the way it has vastly increased my appreciation for the recorded arts and the related audio reproduction chain.
Not saying I'm great at them, only that drums have been very, very good to me. (With acknowledgment to Garrett Morris' baseball reference!)
I can play the tin whistle (much to the annoyance of my roommates). I can also play a the piano. The violin and the saxophone are on my list of instruments that I want to learn how to play one day.
I play guitar and drums. I'd like to add some string and wind instruments to my skill set. I'd like to learn the violin and the flute specifically. I've loved string instruments since I was a kid and I'm excited to learn the violin.

I took piano and flute lessons from elementary to high school. As soon as I got my diploma, I pretty much stopped both. The only time I pick up either is to play Christmas carols.
Piano. I have an upright I rarely play, even though it's so easy to pull up sheet music on the iPad. That said, I'm still hoping to learn basic guitar.
