[Paullestrange]

Hi guys n girls,

Just thought i would ask.When you havnt got a screwdriver or a pair of snips in your hands,how many of you out there pick up an instrument.
I have been drumming for around 40yrs been in numerous bands,and currently bang the skins for a cover band in manchester called Random Numbers.Come on whats your story.:winkiss:

[Paullestrange]

Always mate, you have to. Any band is only as good as it's rhythm section

"I have been drumming for around 40yrs"

Your arms should be a bit tired by now

YUP its gotta be a new world record,hopefully another 40 yrs to come,although i might have slowed down somewhat.

What's got three legs and a C U (N)ext (T)uesday???

A drum stool!!!!!

Sorry I love that joke! Failed guitarist here! Lots of failed cover bands! People get fed up and quit and they all fall apart, that sort of thing.

I'm lucky enough not to have any neighbours so some days I plug the amp in and stand out on the patio, turn it up to ten, and shred like I'm at Wembley!!!!

Mine goes to 11 Drew, that's one louder

Still love that film

 

[Paullestrange]

Drew,ive heard them all before,Drummers not proper musos,but without us thumping the tubs you aint got a band.Yeah ive been in that situ myself all get together for a jam,musically doesnt work,socially doesnt work or worse still it does work and after a month of rehearsals somebody leaves the band.

 

[trev]

The drummer is always the butt of any band joke, it's always been that way and always will. I'll bet Rush don't tell drummer jokes to Neil Peart, or Dream Theater to Mike Portnoy etc etc

So which one were you Trev in the youtube video? It looked like a fun evening although my music style is perhaps a bit softer.. Happyhippydad - YouTube

 

[trev]

I played bass with that band mate. You can just make me out in the background. The stage area was tiny in that place so I couldn't jump about like I used to
I've got one acoustic song up there, one day I'll get round to posting some more up

Should have been locked up with the drummer !!

 

[trev]

Then they'd have needed a proper musician, some would say they did with me not locked up
