43763, has quest ever hit someone with a drumstick at a show?
Posted by Von Pea, Tue May-30-06 09:26 PM
serious question.

ever been to a roots show and seen someone get hit with a drumstick like in the face or something? im not even being funny im asking because id be scared as hell to throw a drumstick in a crowd after a show if i was him.


please dont post about albums leaking.
43764, a lot of drummers do it

it's more dangerous because people at the concert might fight for it rather than it hitting a fan in the audience.
43765, yea ive seen drummers do it during shows lol

43768, he can chuck those drumsticks
Posted by pidgwillot, Tue May-30-06 10:31 PM
he's got a hell of an arm. on thursday at RCMH i was sitting a good 30 rows back, but all of a sudden at the end of the show (i was sitting on the aisle) i see people across the aisle fumbling for a drumstick.

needless to say, i got a hand on it, but someone already had a firm grip on it.

43771, not-so serious funny story
Posted by Wordman, Tue May-30-06 11:01 PM
I almost elbowed a chic in the eye when ?uest threw his sticks into the audience.
I felt so bad in mid-'bow-throw that I pulled back.
Don't you know she caught the drum stick.
Should have elbowed that chic.

43779, A drumstick hit me in the hand...
Posted by engineegro, Wed May-31-06 12:14 AM
Dead in the hand. I think I was surprised that it was coming to me so it bounced right off my hand and hit the floor then a fight for it ensued. Funny thing is that my homegirl who is like 5'2" somehow got it from a bunch of dudes and gave it to me :)
43780, i think i did. at the last show. he tossed one up in the
Posted by lazyboi, Wed May-31-06 07:25 AM

Posted by abcdmetrius, Wed May-31-06 09:03 AM
last time he was at stubbs
he threw it right over in my direction
towards the afro
me and my girl at the time
were the only people over there
it went about 3 feet left and got lost in the dark
i had a broken ankle
so needless to say the white dudes that
were chasing it got it
i couldnt move

what a sad day

43783, YES I SEEN IT
Posted by bigLi, Wed May-31-06 02:23 PM
hob sunset, halloween 2005, the late show.

he throws it right at my direction, i almost get it... then it hits my friend's girl right on the forehead.

i'm like oh shit! are you okay?! she's all looking on the ground, i thought she lost a contact.... but she was actually looking for the stick!

she didn't end up finding it... what kind of cruel world is this where you can get hit by a drumstick and not even end up keeping it.

it was kinda funny, they got hit on the head, but somebody grabbed it from them.

Nothing serious, it's just funny how EREbody could be grabbing for something and NOBODY catch it, but a head!

Posted by superior1one, Thu Jun-01-06 01:39 PM
same story I seen bows flying in efforts of getting dudes' drumstick, but never have I seen someone get hit. BUT BUT BUT BUT, I caught one of his drumsticks from his show in new orleans a couple years back (still have it) and couldn't really tell you if I had anyone around me. I was one with the drumstick, if you will.

paz y mas.

To all you drummers out there, if you caught one would you play with it? I would just to make my friends jealous, but EVER so lightly.

Posted by JayKizzo, Fri Jun-02-06 10:32 AM
I saw it coming and did a blind reach...hope for the best attempt to catch it. I was victorious and to this day the drum stick sits on my entertainment center.
