I wouldn't "Retire" from keyboard or any instrument, per se. That sounds sort of silly, to me. I'd probably shift my main focus, sort of like I did when I went from drums to keys. Right now I'm trying to do a little 80% keyboard, 20% Lead Guitar. I, too, want to pick drums back up eventually, but we'll see.
Dude, I wanna see you on drums one of these days.

Ummm...maybe you'd have wanted to see me in 2003  :D. Besides doing a few fill-ins for surrounding churches whose drummer couldn't make the service, I haven't actively played the drums in 5 years. Can you say rusty?  :D

Hopefully I can get a kit one of these days, though, so I can get back into it.

One of my biggest dreams is to be a competent drummer. I LOVE the drums but cannot drum to save my life.

I really dont care for the drums at all. I would like to learn a little, just so I'm versatile.

     I was thinking about this thread....

...I seriously hope and pray that we're not encouraging anyone to retire from the keys.....

   ...I mean this is the Gospel Keyboard/Piano room :-\

      It's great to add a new instrument but....ya know....I think that even the greatest musician is never done learning....

              I would like to apologize...

...I don't like trying to get my point across online because although I'm serious about what I just said, I'm not  >:( >:( >:( ya know?


  ...so I'll put this smiley at the end... :) :) :) (or 3)

I wanna put more focus on my bass skills, and get caught back up on my drumming.  I'll never retire from the keys though.

I don't think about other instruments as retiring from, but adding to the keyboard...

Prefer keys, but know Bass players are in demand....

Man, I haven't played with a bass player on a regular basis since 2001...*sigh*

You and me both.  I think I'm the only keyboard player in this area (S.E. VA) that doesn't play the drums.

u guys dont get it and thats cool but for me whenever i want to do i can go at it but if i dont focus on it it will be hard to accomplish. im not as young as i used meaning im no longer the sponge i was when 1st learning keys. also if i dont stop playing keys then i will keep getting calls to play key and ill never get calls for playing bass like i want to.

Well you didnt explain it to us. :D You just made it sound like you're quitting being a musician, I had no Idea you played bass. People still gonna be buggin you to play keys; its not something people usually just quit doing. God bless you in whatever you do.

That's where ur wrong man.  People know u can play keys already, so u gonna always get calls for that.  U might as well just accept it.  I completely understand u man cuz I wanna get calls to play bass, but I'm always getting calls for keys. 

Now I even got a call to be a speaker and I don't want to be behind nobody pulpit.  Usually things we don't want to do is the very thing God will lead u to do.  So maybe this is God's way of saying He wants u to stay on the keys while pursuing ur bass dreams.
