I’m a bassist and I was playing with my band and my drummer was having trouble so our music teacher started playing the drums. He plays really loud and ended up snapping the stick. He went in the back and got new ones but it was pretty funny.
@alphagt62 Жыл бұрын
I was playing a gig in a real dive, about 25 people there, and the drummer who does bash those skins broke his stick, and it flew up and stuck the guitar player in the neck! He finished his guitar solo with blood running down his chest and a stick hanging out of his neck! He wasn’t very happy about it, but the crowd went wild!

@Komatik_ 9 ай бұрын
Bass solos _are_ a mistake 99% of the time because they break the performance - stuff has to lay out of the way of the bass's round and mellow sound so as to not drown it, and usually have a hard time going under a bass since the solo won't be that high. As a result, the music usually just stops dead in its tracks. And on top of that the solo is (like a large chunk of solos on other instruments as well) going to be someone masturbating on the fretboard and farting out notes as fast as they can. May excite some, but almost always leaves me cold. Charles' piece here works because the solo is not wankery (mostly), but mostly just a tasty groove that plays to the bass' strengths and not to the player's need to show off. The brief note-spamming moments are by far the weakest ones.
@VardaMusic Жыл бұрын
You really do something unique- I was laughing by the time the drummer’s sticks exploded. Then you pivot straight into the kind of music that relaxes and energizes simultaneously- it was a relaxing sound and vibe, yet you throw all of these virtuosic moments in that keep to the beat so comfortably that it creates energy and joy for the listener. And, wouldn’t you know it, right at the end you throw in a hilarious parody of guitar solos, with the extra touch coming from that organ’s single drone to back it up. Thank you for the wonderful, creative, joy filled content!
