Who else in here has the habit of always playing drums on things other than your set? I have the problem of playing when im in school, at my desk, driving, or just sitting anywhere...I always seem to just start drumming on things. The wierdest part though is that it actually taught me how to play half notes on the bass drum without doing it on the hi-hat, that was so cool. I'm just seeing if im the only one with this "Bad" habit -matt-  |

Isn't it funny how you read something weird that somebody else does, then you start doing it? I'm blinking for my metronome and typing in polyrhythms...

I've rubbed my teeth together in rhythm. Is that odd enough? I was tapping my foot to a song and someone got up to answer the door. |

when I was in 4th grade, my teacher would yell at me for tapping my pencil in rhythm... She would tell me to stop it, even though I had the nice sharpened point doing very quiet delicate, intricate marching-drum patterns. 25 years later, I see her in a store, and I tell her I am in bands now, and I play out... I was hoping she'd think twice about squelching music/rhythm talent, maybe think twice about stopping something creative in the future, or tell me she was glad I persevered under her strict un-creative tutelage, you know? And the clueless 'teacher' just looks at me and smirks and says "some things never change".  What an idiot to put in charge of guiding our youth... |

If it's a fault, yes, I'm guilty, but I do not think so, that is the normal state of a drummer.
I tap anywhere, even in the but of my wife while dancing an old fashion chic-to-chic song. does not U?

Since I know I can play everything everywhere with just two hands and two feet, I always tap somewhere while listening to music... And I ALWAYS listen to music ! At home, in car, under the shower, at the office... Everywhere...

When my daughter (who is now 23) was a baby, Mrs. Dog would put the pup in a high chair and give her wooden spoons to play with. My daughter would bang away on the tray in perfect time. Yeah, she's my daughter, but it was perfect time.
Decades later, she still taps on anything that doesn't move as does her old dad. BTW: she sits in with my blues band when there's a gig and I'm out of town. For some reason, the smelly old geezers in my band would rather have a good-looking young female behind the drums than me. What's that about?

I air-drum when I'm excited about something. Makes me go absolutely crazy and naturally everyone around me gets worried... oh well.

I think anyone who has remote enthusiam in drumming does it. Unless of course they have self-discipline and respect those around them enough not to annoy them. I used to get complaints all the time, but now I've developed a a quieter style of tapping which tends not to annoy everyone.
My friend Alex who is a recent beginner does it all the time - very loud, very unbalanced strokes, very annoying. After hearing him I think twice every time I start doing it.

I click the mouse in rythm. I type in rythm. I ALWAYS have sticks in my pockets, even in church once in while. Darn organist gets me movin every time. You always know what desks I sit at at school, because there are pencil and pen marks all over them from tapping. I really hate standardized booklet tests because youre not supposed to mark it anywhere besides the little ovals or the grading machine skips your test entirely. I wonder how many 0's I've gotten.
