Haha! I was at this other forum called Drums My Life and I saw this thead:
http://www.drumsmylife.com/things-every-drummer-does-vt6724.html
Basically, things every drummer does are:
- When our favorite song comes on, we start air drumming and don't even realize it
- When we here someone talking about drums, we can't help but give our 2 cents
- When we're talking w/ other drummers, no one else has a clue what we're saying
- Absolutly anything (table tops, books, our laps,walls, floors) might as well be a drum set to us
- It drives everyone around us nuts
- Every musician says the instument they play is best...but we know which one is REALLY the best
- When asked why we left our last band it's always "Cause everyone else was a dick"
- We bitch about having to haul our gear to gigs, but we wouldn't trade it for the world
- We make it look easy
- There's no argument like Zildjian vs Sabian
- ...except maybe Birch vs Maple
- Trashing our set is like slapping our mama...that just AIN'T GONNA FLY
- We know the difference between a skilled player and a loud player
- No one else knows how retarded someone looks when you get pissed off at them for denting the shit out of your new set of freshly tuned drum heads and asks "Dude, whats your problem? Whats the big deal?"
- When we see a good drummer play, that's all we see
- When we see a crappy drummer play, same thing
- Most bands take us for granted...and regret it the second we're gone
- People can't seem to understand why we'll play $350 for a round piece of metal or $1500 for a set of shells
- We all have somewhat big heads and need to be put in our place sometimes lol
- Usually that someone is a better drummer that just makes us wanna to play even more
- Blisters and calases are a small price to pay
- You know who the drummer is after the show...he's the guy with his shirt off, pouring w/ sweat and rubbing his wrists
Quite funny!!! A lot of it apply to me. HAHA!
