Drum Kit Help

Can we get some lap-dancing poles too? doesn't have to be anything swish like, clothes poles or bus-stop poles will do.

Hey i've just had a great idea. lets do the gig on the saturday night on a float during the gala! We can rock out whilst being transported around the circuit! Thus eliminating the need for the pipe band! Sorry folks im having an awful boring friday at work and need something to do.

O yes - I remember some of the Edge of the World rider demands. (Ahhh fond memories - NOT)

Specifying the likes of: the flavour AND manufacturer of CRISPS!! Also very specific about cigarette varieties etc. Of course we ignored all this completely, gave them a food voucher, and pointed them in the direction of the nearest burger van . . . . !! (there were happy enough).

Most bands I think expect NOT to get much (if anything) on their rider and I feel respect you more if you don't pander to it anyway. It is nice to be bought a pint though.

There's a classic scene in "Spinal Tap" where the slightly dim (most guitarist are!!) lead guitarist has problems folding/eating his nibblets in the dressing room. Check it out. Hillarious.

The standard rider for support groups 'in the city, man' is £50 and 24 bottles of Rolling Rock lager. If you're lucky a packet of Doritos might be thrown in, too. Should have seen the day Ice-T came to the Liquid Room. Now there's a rider story for the future.

what you trying to say like.................

BTW that is a class scene indeed

oh aye & lead guitarists are all the dimmer for putting up with awkward drummers

Dim guitarist? Maybe we should dig out the drummer joke thread??

Last time I made my drum kit available for general usage I had to replace EVERY drum head. (including the kick drum!!!)

It cost me £70 to replace (and that was nine years ago prices!!).
NEVER again I'm affraid. That was the end of my generosity . . . . . .

Be warned.

Could you imagine ALL 15 bands turning up at the Thurso Music Fest with drum kits. I'm sure Chobbers or his soundies wouldn't be too impressed sorting that one out.
