During the performance? Because that is the time period I am talking about.I bought some new trousers.
NEXT!
Yes, I went on eBay on my mobile and found a pair of trousers that were the same size. They were delivered in twenty minutes by a girl who called herself Ruby. We shared a drink, had a chat, danced in the snow-filtered moonlight - it was a beautiful night.
Glad I'm not the only one who goes through them like that. Right next to the backup guitars on our gigs, is a rack of replacement drummer pants. Sometimes the sheer magnitude of my playing rips random fan's pants in the audience and then we get a pants bill at the end of the night.
I just can't tell you how many times I've ruined my pants while drumming. It's such a common thing that although you would think a thread like this is borderline retarded or perhaps a terrible attempt at humor, I can assure you, this is a real problem for real drummers all over the world.
My spandex has never ripped, surefire way to avoid catching on those pesky bass drum lugs.
Ah yes.I find the problem can be avoided through the strategic use of the mankini, too.
What did you do?
Do you sit on the throne the entire time until everyone left?
Yep. I was one of the lucky ones though. The cape I was wearing covered my arse, thus saving from further embarrassment. I did get my mum to go and collect the kit after the gig though.
