....and no I don't mean like "playing well" smart arses.....
There's a drummer who plays standing up and with a rucksack on (no idea why - perhaps it has a supply of Kendal mint cake in it to replenish his energy stores when out hiking/drumming), and Neil Peart wears one of those daft South American type woven from guinea pig hair cap things so I've decided that I'm just too ordinary.
I tried drumming with a ZZ top ginger beard on but the man made fibres kept getting up my nose and since we only do 2 ZZ top songs it kind of lacked relevance (and chafed a bit) for the rest of the gig.
I tried drumming with pink squeaky hammers but they didn't resonate properly and since I'd gone to great lengths acquiring a customised Evans EQ damping towel it then seemed a bit silly to kill the cadence of my drums with squeaky hammers that weren't pitch matched.
So I want a gimmick that is suitably gimmicky and yet won't make me look like (more of) a twat. It's already an uphill struggle being a bird drummer, but that gimmick seems to be wearing off a bit (probably as I look more and more blokey the more I drum.....).
One guy plays with diving goggles on his forehead. I mean, like you'd ever find yourself submerged in water at a gig....and anyway your kit would probably float away so being able to see them properly would be the least of your problems.
What gimmicks does your band have?
