So I was playing a gig this last friday night, and I had to leave my drums and cymbals up on the stage for a while before we could do the teardown. I averted my gaze from my stuff for about 2 seconds, and when I turned around, I imagine I must have gaped in horror. This huge 300 pound dude had walked up to my gear, picked up my sticks, and proceeded to mash on my cymbals with gusto.
He made Travis Barker look like a little tapper, this guy literally took both hands above his head and smashed down on my cymbals with BOTH hands at the same time, using as much force as possible. The cymbals flexed so far, they went all the way to vertical, nearly touching the cymbal stands themselves. I had brought some of my more expensive cymbals too, AAX, K custom, etc. I also had my one-of-a-kind pair of Paiste Prototype hats on there as well. Miraculously, nothing broke by the time I got to him. But man, that scared me very badly. Anyone else have stories like this? I'm sure you do, haha.
