I bet a drummer could....
I bet he could eat a worm live. There are probably other
things also. Hmm... I know, flip your drumsticks! The ladies
love this maneauver because they have evolved to select
males with high hand eye coordination as these are the
individuals that would have been most fit in a hunter
gatherer society.

Last show I dressed up like the piano player guys from the
Devo - Jokohomo video. Between everysong I grabbed the mic
and said "Are we not men ? D.E.V.O"

Im not sure if sticking a drum stick up my guitarist ass is
a good idea , maybe I should just stick to being a tempo guy
lol

crucify a cuddly toy monkey on your bass drum so when you
kick it, the monkey will do a comedy-style pelvic thrust.

What can you do? Well it depends, what kind of music is it?
and also what is it that your bored with? not doing things
on stage like antics, or playing wise?.......

you can take after Ralph Myerz and the Jack Herren Bands'
drummers, and Jaga Jazzist's drummer. Stand on your chair!
Break the drumsticks(don't bother to get a new one, use your
hand and your head)! Pick up a snare or a hihat or cymbal,
and rund around on the stage, beating it(you COULD try the
kickdrum, but that's.. hard). Pour water on the drums(it
makes a cool effect when you hit it)! Break stuff!

..in general: be energic!

(ps: if you've heard Jaga Jazzist.. i was at a concert with
them once, and you'll be amazed at how much of the drumming
is actually done by the drummer(Martin Horntveth, who is out
with a solo album, by the way))

I saw the drummer to 'cog' last friday, he had a 10-20 peice
kit, and he was staring up into the sky with his eyes closed
durmming like a skitz motherfucker, I thought he was going
to die of a heart attack with all the faces he was pulling,


think of the hardest face you've ever seen, like someone
griting their teeth and closing there eyes while they get
their hand cut off, and now change this face into a
different position with each time you hit the drums,

THAT'S what it looked like

so impressive,

also one of the support act guys was wearing a beanie so low
that it looked like he was completely covering his eyes,
when in fact he could still look "down" at the drum kit to
see what he was doing

another idea is having a couple of odd little percussion
instuments set aside from the rest of the drumkit, and then,
durin a quiet little bit where you aren't required to play
anything, walk away from your drum kit, and go up and play a
little bit on whatever happens to be up there,, I dunno ,..
a triangle,... DO A TRIANGLE SOLO!~

there's plenty of cool little perucussion instruments out
htere that don't get enough attention,.. hearing them live
alway makes for an interesting experience,

that's a good one...i have a piece of sheet metal, a
suitcase-sized metal box, and a bicycle bell "on" my kit.
makes for interesting sounds....i'm trying to find a way to
make my jaw harp percussive....

junktion: that be some fast double bass...slayer style!

what's with all the gimmicks? why does your band need a
strawberry quik-squirting bunny? your band isn't bad, you
should play a bit faster and stop worrying about your image.
you've got a lot of contradictory philosophies. songs that
are serious and have good messages, and then "rachael leigh
cook"? should i take your music seriously or what? there
are punk bands that have a sense of humor (DK's) and punk
bands that were a joke. which is it?

Chokebore's drummer used to stand up and play a lot.

just remember though, the old joke:

"what do you call a guy that hangs around with 3 musicians?
- a drummer"

just kidding, i got mad respect for skilled percussionists.

Replace one of the snare drums with a little tub of milk and
then SMACK IT like in that crazy video.

put water on all the drums, so that when you smack them, it
all flies off....it'll look cool.
as long as you do it in slow-mo....

without the slow-mo, IT IS NOTHING!!!

please do checkout the video where Slipknot's drummer does a
solo while the drumset is going vertical, and spinning
around. Looks and sounds bizarre

well one thing is for certain (at least in my experience);
it's more difficult for a band to find a good drummer than
for a good drummer to find a good band.

Man I saw tonight coming from a mile away. During our set
all the other guys started to fight and shit on stage it was
fucking grand ! Then the club started a while chant cause I
was like the only guy not being a rock tart lol.

It's all about having fun and I am not having fun in my
band. I think its time to break the news to them.

On a plus note the band Maximum RnR (from toronto) kicked
ass , and I got paid $$$ and in beer !!!! Hurrah !!!!!

Thanks guys for everything !!!!!!!!
