Last time you referred to drumming as "playing the skins"?

Never once have I talked about "playing the skins"...


...at least not in the context of drums.

Giggity...

I've never used any of that terminology in the 31 years of playing. I see it's place and all, but not these days.
 
I thought that was a golf term? Anyways it must relate to congas, bongos, etc more so than kit-no? Sounds creepy the more I think of it-like Buffalo Bill from Silence of Lambs playing a drum with human skins. Hey I'm surprised that hasn't been in a movie-though the vampire band in Dust till Dawn did use dead bodies as guitars perhaps the drummer was playing skins too. Yikes! Ha, ha, ha-just read my own post-did I mention I may have a slight ADD issue.
