Did you see on page 3 where it skips up like 7 years. I hate that.

Had to break the thesaurus out. You know I couldn't use the **** word.
Need to have synonyms and antonyms on hand at all times.
They were each given a dictionary, and it appears it took them 7 years to study it. Some gave up and never came back.
To clear this up. I certainly don't mean that everybody on DC at that time couldn't spell, but some people did have their problems.
It doesn't matter if drummers can't spell. As long as they can count!

"Too many crappy used drum stuff to list"
Play the SONG......not the DRUMS!!!
"I think that feeling is a lot more important than technique. It's all very well doing a triple paradiddle - but who's going to know you've done it? If you play technically you sound like everybody else. It's being original that counts." ~ John Bonham
Drummer pet peeve: getting wasted, waking up for 10am practice, potential new singer doesn't show til 11, have another practice at 4...welcome to saturday!
Holy thread revival batman! 7 years! (But I love this thread)
Oh, let me count the ways that people have pi$$ed me off over the years. Most of the time it was back in the bar gig days when you always got 1or 2 drunks that were going to let you in on their secret of how our band should play. How many of them I wanted to punch would number in the hundreds.
I did get the satisfaction of hitting a guy a couple of times before it was broken up. He wouldn't leave my GF alone, so during our break, I told him to leave her alone or we were going to have a problem. He walked away, but as soon as we were back playing, he was right back there talking to her. I threw a drumstick at him and hit him square in the back and we went at it. He lost and they threw him out. SATISFACTION to make up for all the 1's I didn't hit.
omg...... your an animal
all i was going to say was I hate when people say seat or stool
.....its my throne ...peasant
When your guitarist has no internal metronome but thinks the band is supposed to follow him. So you end up blasting a straight 4/4 to say "HEY IDIOT! HERE'S THE TEMPO" and afterward he tells you the song sucked because you weren't keeping up.
The bassist in this band I'm covering for sit on a seat next to my kit. He keeps turning to look at me and his neck on his bass keeps hitting my cymbal... dude move over!
What most drummers don't realize is that it is legal in the USA to neuter a guitar player/bassplayer, place him/her in a shelter that only adopts to residents of 3rd world countries along with a loaf of bread and some mustard.
The knowledge of this little known law is not widespread but I'm attempting to rectify that. This law kept our guitar player in line for over 30 years because he realized that being able to sing only 4 Seasons songs was not going to get him a lot of work, and the fact that he was not going to be able to pick up girls like he used to. (not that he knew what to do with them once he got them. We bought him a copy of the Kama something that had pictures but he kept coloring them in with his crayons)
Such is the day to day life working with a guitar player.
To Super Fortress: I have found that a well placed drumstick with a egg timer attached usually fixes the problem.
To Spaz: Think cattle prod.
When they , lead singer or guitarist , line their drinks up on the drum riser right in front of my bass drum . Then they knock the drink over and some of it gets splashed on my drum ! And they say nothing about it ...like it's ok ! Then I have to get out from behind my kit before the next song and move them , usually onto the guitar players amp .
other drummers bleeding on your drums
I swear even i could make a rookie mistake in the heat of battle but its pritty darn nasty

Yes !
Some of the clubs we play at don't allow the band to drink durring the gig . But at the ones where they do EVERYBODY wants to put there drink on my rug . I get on them right away and if I see one one there while I was not paying attention I get up and put it on their amp . hen they start screaming like a stuck pig !
I use a Navajo Indian rug made out of wool . It's perfect because you can fold it and stow it away in the hardware bag . And when it gets dirty I just take it to the car wash with the power wash wands and hose it down there ...comes out smelling fresh and looking new .
I hate when you look at a used drum set on E bay or Craigslist and they say 10 pc. set and it's a 5 piece they just add the cymbals and hi hats.

My pet peeve lately is Youtube showboaters who cover songs with all kinds of overplaying and stick tricks. I know plenty of people enjoy it, but I'd rather see really crisp, clean playing.
It is a Drumkit Rick. Maybe it is a Canadian thing.
