Gassy drummer, smells bad.

[InDaDoghouse]

The past couple of gigs our drummer has been REALLY stinking up the place. I mean, eye watering, cloying, stinking punch to the throat that I'm sure our audience can smell. We play at mid sized bars, so it's not like the audience is that far away. I tend to stand close to the drummer, so occasionally our singer gives me the stink eye, like it's my fault. It's not.

The drummer is a nice guy. I don't know him well enough to say "Dude. No." What to do? Get a fan?

I hear that smelling farts is actually you just having tiny poops run up your nose.

Smells more like the ghosts of his dead relatives running up my nose.

Drop a bunch of bisacodyl or a mag citrate bomb in his beverage.

I would talk to him... not because of the stench, but because it's weird. Maybe recommend a good probiotic.

 

[4stringsjack]

Good point. Show him you care about his health (and yours!).

Actually, yes. There is a fix for this. Activated charcoal capsules.

Surround him with candles, as long as it doesn't violate fire code or cause him to blow up.

Get a fan?

To each their own... I just think it would be hard finding anyone who was really into a gassy musician.

"Man, he really blew me away!"

"When he did his solo, you could feel it in your chest."

"His technique permeated my mystique."

I just can't see, nor desire to smell it.

Awesome, a fart thread. I needed a laugh tonight. Thank you!

Fight fire with fire. Total war, and all that. If you can't beat him, join him...

I did it to a new drummer in studio just recently. I had a rushed dinner (a curry) the had half a dozen fresh dates on the way to rehearsal. By the time I got there I was cooking! He said later that he hated that studio because it stank. I let him in on the secret and he now lives in fear.

Ahh nothing like inhaling microscopic particles!
Give him a gift of one of these:

I can’t fart when I’m playing. If I were suffering from some intestinal distress and there was excessive pressure then that’s a different story.
If you’re sure it’s farts then I would brake the ice by asking him if he’s lactose intolerant. It almost sounds like you’re leading in with a joke, “Hey, can I ask you something? Are you lactose intolerant?”
Hopefully the conversation can deepen from there.
