What are your most embarrassing moments when gigging.
when i was in college at florida state university, i played bass drum in the marching band. we used to do this thing where at the end of our field routine we'd all just run off the field to the sideline. we were running off the field at a pre-game show when i tripped on a yard line marker and went flying forward. i landed directly on the bass drum and proceeded to roll forward (because i was attached to it) until i hit my head and rolled under the drum. this was in front of 40,000 fans! that was pretty embarrassing.
Ouch, That sounds like something i would have done. I bet it hurt.
The band had a long epic intro worked out before the fist song.
So in keeping with "being over the top" and having fun, I thought I'd do the whole cheesy stand on my drum throne & snare as the house light came up.
Yeah, only I have a bicycle style seat, not a flat seat.
As you can imagined, the seat went flying, I toppled over, my hi hat stand and snare drum go over and I knocked my water all over my drum machine.
