I practice at home with headphones on an electric kit, and my partner goes into hysterics because I make weird grunts and moans while playing more complex stuff.
And yes ... catching flies.
Open mouth?

depends
When im just relaxed, ill just sit there
But once i start getting into the speed stuff, jaws dropped, i start panting if im going really fast for a long time, usually i just like pressure my jaw once i start the ending, and my mouth is like, stuck open, and dosnt move
So ill bet yes
usally depends on the speed. but i sing when i play if its inbetween slow and medium fast. and i chew gum when i have fast songs. but no body never said nothing about my mouth being open or shut. so i'm not completely sure.

Hoo boy!
When I began taking drum lessons in 1984, my teacher and I were both cigar smokers (and our lessons were often as much "smokers" as jam sessions). I didn't realize it until after we both quit smoking, but I found that I had been chomping on my cigar (and realized I was still twisting my mouth to "chomp" on an invisible stogie) as I played!

Yeah, whenever I'm really concentrating on nailing something complex, my jaw drops. If it's simple, I can pull it off without having my mouth open.

I don't know that my mouth's open but I definitely make stupid faces.
my mouth just opens up sometimes.
Dunno why.
My mouth doesn't open up or do any wierd things like that. Well, maybe a few times when im absolutely rocking the kit. but nothing stupid

Um....that's kind of a trick question, because I sing too.......
Word to the wise : don't mess with the drummer.
I definitely make all kinds of pi**ed-off faces! My nick-name, given to me, in my old band was, "vicious". They said it looked like I was about to kill someone. Completely rip them apart with my own bare hands.

Hehe, one of my mates does that. It's really wicked to watch him play a set. He really puts a performance into playing drums.
