Gassy drummer, smells bad.

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

How exactly is this different from every other drummer?

I guess it’s just something that runs in their jeans

Methane propulsion... brilliant.

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.

A typical "drummer" response would be.

It's just GAS. We all suffer from GAS.

High Pass Filter. Cures everything.

When I was in high school band we had a guy (trumpet player) that literally cleared out the first three rows of the auditorium from the orchestra pit. It's funny until you sit behind him in WIND ensemble.

I was wondering if it would have been advantageous to hold it in for more buoyancy.

I like the cork idea, but I feel like the roadie my draw the line at the install. Try rigging up a funnel with some gaffing tape and a tube going to the high hat. If he can power up the high hat with the farts, maybe it will free him up for some double bass work?

Seems to me that you're focusing on the negatives and totally missing the positives.

Seriously, you might recommend that he have his blood sugar tested. I played with a lead singer that didn't control his diabetes and always had horrible sulfur smelling farts. I watched while he cleared the dance floor as the rest of the band was choking. He didn't even notice.

I'll give you a ride to the patent office, for a 5% royalty fee.

Depending on who's swimming, less drag in the water...

... however, the expulsion could possibly create more of a... slipstream... effect.

How's that for a plug, @armyadarkness?

Problem solved.

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?

get 2 fans
