Sign in to disble this ad
To cut a long story short I helped out at a open-mike night on drums. The song was Styx- Renegade.
Anyway, I got to the stage and realised that the kit was righty. I'm a lefty. i decided rather than waste time, I'd try and play righty.
BIG mistake. I started to play, only for me to mess up completely. I tried to regain the rhythm only to mess up AGAIN.
This caused the ENTIRE band to stop and look around to me, who was panicking like an idiot.
We ended up stopping whilst I rearranged the kit and then replayed the song.
Note to self: You're a LH drummer, play leftie!
