Hey Crew,
This is just one of those weird things that I've tried since I got on DW, and was amazed at how fun and successful this was.
I've seen a few drummers literally stand up off the throne and do a solo. Looked really difficult, but I tried it tonight. Whatta helluva rush-- it was a LOT easier than it looked! Obviously, I couldn't use both feet on the Bass and hi-hat, or on both bass drums/pedals, but WOW, it was kinda cool.
Drumming in a downward direction was actually pretty easy, and most of my cymbals were about hip-to-shoulder height for lots of crashes.
Anyone ever do this, and what are your thoughts? I think I'm going to incorporate this into one of my next gigs, just for shits and grins.
Cheers,
C. P.
