Hmm, i was doing a concert for the school, and i had a little solo in the middle of another one bites the dust, dont ask my music teacher wanted me to do a solo instead of doing the beat, to "make it my own"
Anyway i roll down, and smack the floor tom, and it was a great swing, i thought my hand was gonna go right thru the tom
Well, i end up banging my knuckle on the side of the tom, huge gash, i break my rythmn stick, and knock the floor tom over
In which case i dropped my other stick, went to grab my secondary sticks
And i drop those, so i just did a bass rythmn the rest of the song, while bleeding all over my white shirt
It sucked
ahh a gash
thats terrible, sounds very painful
that'll teach your music teacher, haha

Dang, I had this whole story worked up about having to fend off an army of angry geriatric patients with a broken drum key and a large eracer after I made fun of their blue hair while sitting in with Whitesnake. Nevermind, I'll save it for later.Originally Posted by Drum_Fiend

I play with my snare drum between my legs and one day I went to hit the snare with the stick and the other end of the stick hit me somewhere between my legs and made me say "Oh Gosh". I guess I looked pretty pail by the end of that song.

Lol, i have something else to add
I was multi-rolling down, (roll down, bring top, roll down, bring top) really fast and hard, and i hit the floor, and then i guess my right hand (Im right handed BTW) didnt make it over to the snare, so i go to NAIL the snare, and i hit my knee, ive still got the purple mark XD
We played an outdoor party one night for a lot of people. For a special treat I strapped about ten or twelve roman candles to the back of my platform. I waited til it was really dark and I lit them after a really heavy song I'd played with glow in the dark sticks - everybody loved this special effect and whooped and hollered.
Don't ever do that by the way - it looked really cool but I had burn marks on my cymbals (to this day on some) and I had to replace my snare, tenor toms and floor tom heads as they had holes burned through them.
I guess it is possible to look cool while being an idiot at the same time I guess - it cost me a lot of money but man did I ever look cool.

I fell a sleep playing once. We were down in the basement and started playing around 7:00 PM. At around 3:00 am, I started to pass out while playing. Dude yelled at me to wake up, and through me another beer. I woke up just enough to drop my sticks, grab the beer and head off to bed.. Man I was beat......
When we do right, no one remembers. When we do wrong, no one forgets.
God save the beer...

One time while I was playing a speed metal song I got a souvenir.
Okay there was like a solo thing in this song. don't remember the name. But while I was doing it i guess when i was rolling really fast on the db my left leg caught the snare stand and it fell down and slashed my left leg. This happened this year by the way. And also btw i happen to have a metal snare drum so yeah imagine the pain!

Once on local cable tv, just as the camera cut to the drums, I dropped a stick, which rolled across the snare , hopped, and rolled acrosss the floor tom to the floor. The stick hitting the floor noise got picked up by the PA and went out over the air also....
lol, my 10 year old sister can relate, she was watchin me jam and i screwed up and threw it at her face lmaoOriginally Posted by Drum_Fiend
