Drums Are Not A Crime!

[Michael Stanley 2112]

Drums aren't the crime, but a lot of drummers are!

This group band text came in yesterday.
"How about December 23 at the Wagon Wheel?"
"Sounds great!"
let's do it!"

(BL) "we'll be playing indoors, drums are allowed".
(Me) "DRUMS ARE NOT A CRIME!"
(Drummer) "Lol "

The budding microbrewery scene in Charlotte is so strange...

Drum owners and operators are responsible for the use of the devices- that can be viewed as a criminal activity.

We had this gig for almost 2 years at a little country family restaurant. The owner was a rocker and very cool but his dinner crowd were country church people. They weren't there to hear music at 6pm, they just wanted their chicken fried steak and deep fried okra with some hush puppies. We'd start at a volume of .05 and some biddies could be seen with the fingers in the ears. Scott ended live music almost a year ago.
Good times!

Fire the drummer.

I swear, the low bar's falling even lower.

This isn't Cliche Corner, Brohammer. Get on our level.

I know a bar that won't have drums, thanks a neighbour whining at anything too loud.

At every show. I slightly changed the name of the brewery to protect the not so innocent. Wagon Wheel goes down on the list of "things I'm not even gonna hum" if I ever retire. Mony Mony. Brown Eyed Girl. Oh so many...

Every one of which is better-known than anything we will write

With all due respect, I've already spent a lifetime stooping this low.

I accept that.

A third of our gigs are duo. There are several reasons.
1) they hate drums
2) they're cheap bastids and only pay enough for two musicians.

I played a couple of gigs at a joint that had a Christmas-tree light sound meter by FOH that was intended to keep the bands in line with the volume.

I considered it a challenge, not a warning. Got a few snare shots to the top of the yellow, but never did make it into the red.

Crimean drums are close.​

 

[Lance Bunyon]

I see you've never done 20-to-life on a four hour gig with a terrible drummer.

I probably blocked out the trauma. I'm the marrying kind of bass player. Meaning I try to join bands I'm gonna be in for years.
If I find myself single (bandless) for 2 or 3 weeks, I carefully audition the drummer I'm gonna be next to every weekend.

It's a false premise — it's not the drummers.

If you ask me, it's fese daft thuckers who's the real criminal element here. There is no justice.​

Studio Day!

Nancy Reagan said " Just say no to drummers ".......or did I get that wrong ?

 

[Tom Bomb]

A/D-ing and abetting? That's a crime too, right? Drummers are never immune.​
