Cheezus! That's worse than sitting on the bass drum for sure. At least he complimented your drumming.
The "compliment" was really back-handed, though. Firstly, it was following a real compliment from someone else, and it had the caveat. He was basically of the impression that drummers who don't use a double pedal at all times are "held back" from their true potential and that everything I played could have been better if I had put double bass notes at every opportunity. I think he literally said something like "it's always better with two pedals".
And nobody sat on my bass drum, he stood up on it fully (one foot, the other dangling). I guess he saw some other rock stars doing it and figured the hoops were made for it?
