The band had "one of those nights" last night. Gear issues (keyboards), multiple mistakes, etc, etc, so Andy went into fun mode. I always "play up" a bit on stage. The audience engage with that, so when things aren't going exactly to plan, I turn it up, just to take attention away from the issues, & improve the band vibe. Is that something you do, or am I just weird?
So here's some short clips of me (I have no shame), behaving / playing in a way you haven't seen before. I've put it up here to open up a general conversation on drummers being part of the entertainment presentation - we're so often not
Some explanation:
Clip 1/ Irreverence / childishness
Clip 2/ Playing up to some audience guy acting like John Travolta in Grease.
Clip 3/ Note to self - don't forget your sweat towel!! I was literally blind for 3 minutes
Clip 4/ Tongue pulling air drumming girl get's the animated reciprocal treatment.
Clip 5/ An interlude where we welcome Oz (our lighting guy) back to the lighting desk after his terrible ordeal.
Clip 6/ Guitarist asked me to pace up & get crash heavy on this outro - I obliged (& don't I look stupid!)
