Just put a fan up that blows the stink back to the drummer.

That’s a mean pair of butt plugs!

Probiotics make me blast ass like it’s going out of style. Had to quit taking them. People tell me I’m a fool because they were making me feel better, even though they didn’t.I would talk to him... not because of the stench, but because it's weird. Maybe recommend a good probiotic.
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?
One of the funnier reviews on Amazon accompanies this product!
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.
My favorite is to ask my bandmates if they smell popcorn...
... as in most throwing sports, timing of the release is essential.
My solution would be 2 large fans and act innocent.Seriously, the activated charcoal works really well, if you can get him to take it. I know this because, uh, I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome, which can cause a lot of gas, and back when I was working a desk job I moved to a new department where I had to share a large office with three other people. Um... my private office before then had been perfect for my occasional bad days and I was mortified about how I was going to deal with this. I researched what I could do to avoid that sort of embarrassment and this was the solution. It works really well. No embarrassment at all.
If probiotics did that, check your diet, esp milk products.Probiotics make me blast ass like it’s going out of style. Had to quit taking them. People tell me I’m a fool because they were making me feel better, even though they didn’t.
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...
