not as in 'heavy' but what are your interests apart from music? Drumming is included in music.
Me? I like golf but am shorter off the tee now than ten years ago. I treat all Par 4s as three shotters these days. But there is nothing on earth to compare to the feeling of the purity of a good hit with an 8 iron. And I am a reasonable putter. And a sucker for the latest shot saving gadget......
I am a canal and railway enthusiast. Not train spotting but studying the railway and canal lines, bridges, harbours, stations etc. One hundred years ago in Ireland there were many railway companies with lines going everywhere. Now the network is much smaller yet it is interesting to look at old embankments where engineers built railways to open up the country. I plan to travel every metre of track in Ireland before it is all gone. Canals are even more interesting, these were the motorways of a couple of hundred years ago. And the canal boats were the juggernauts of the day. Locks and bridges were built to last in those days, every one slightly different but essentially the same. Masons built them by hand, the canals were dug out totally by hand [by laborers who were called Navies], no mechanical excavators in those days.
I enjoy theatre. Nothing like being close to the action. It is real, living, breathing drama. Oscar Wilde, Shaw, Sheridan etc. What treasure.
Photography. Getting back into this activity, now digital. I was a serious B&W photographer many years ago. Failing eyesight was the reason I sold all my kit which included darkroom equipment and my 645 camera.
So what are your interests apart from music?

Literature is my other great love, after music. My main speciality is Wells, but also the Romantic Poets, Austen and Hardy.
I also like theatre, especially Beckett.
SF and horror movies.
And cheeseburgers: lots of cheeseburgers.

Apart from music photography was my other main hobby, I say was because now I make money from it I cannot be arsed doing it for fun...
I enjoy pottering around the garden
I'm quite into cinema - particularly when I can go on my own, during the day when there's no idiots about.
Fortunately, proper work, KaBL and DJing keep me busy the rest of the time.
I like socialising, cinema-going, reading, gaming, watching sports and listening to music. So basically I put "none" in the hobby section of dating websites.
Not really.
I do art, leathercraft, larping (and associated kit-making), homebrew, pen-and-paper roleplaying, indian and japanese cookery, sewing/embroidery and learning languages (badly). I've just taken up wood carving, but I'm struggling with it. My small flat is a bit of a mess, really.
this is kinda related to larping, I've always fancied having a go at historical re-enactment, never found the time though. It looks like a good excuse to go away for a weekend, dress up like a pillock and drink loads of beer in convivial company.
interest wise, I'm into gardening (vege growing) and related small holding activities hedgelaying, tree felling, DIY, homebrewing, bread baking, preserving etc.), I also hunt and when I get round to it, fishing. Not sure if these count as interests though.
I'm a bit of a history buff, mostly interested in rural history. Also interested in agro-ecology, land reform, economic justice and praying for the end of the world.
I'm not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me.
