I used to play the piano, but that was years ago.

I'm a percussionist too. Usually mallets, but I basically play everything except snare and set.

Haha, that is me exactly.

Haha, when I say I'm a percussionist, everyone assumes I play snare. I haven't played a snare in like 6 years (I wasn't particularly good at it back then either), and I don't even think I could do a decent drum roll at all.

I personally attribute my focus on bells etc. to absolutely HATING the sound of the snare drum when I was younger. I'm really not sure why, I just remember I couldn't stand to listen to it. (and thus practice it)

I was the only percussionist in my jr. high band that could read the treble and bass clefs (the others could read rhythms but not notes), so I automatically got put on the mallets, which I loved. The orchestra conductor (I played percussion for him in the Pit Orchestra for the plays) called me Bellboy cause I almost always played bells for stuff.

As far as nicknames, the only band related one I got was "Glockenspiel," but only from one girl, because she thought it was EXTREMELY funny that I played an instrument with a name like that.
I'm still one of the only percussionists in my high school that can read music well, so that probably helps too.

I play the piano. I am also a percussionist and can play the drumset, mallets, congas, etc.
The mallets are really easy because I play the piano.
If the sound of the snare annoys you, just turn the snares off.
