fly swatting technique

[felix]

Notice the perfect right angle the sticks have (too bad my posture sucks).  It looks like I'm driving a bulldozer.  Gotta love those candid shots by a "fan".

Have a giggle.  Notice dumpster and matching backwards baseball caps as well.

Reminds me of a kid sitting in a high chair, pounding his eating utensils down on the tray saying ... "when do we eat?!"

"HEY WARDEN....YA YOU!!   ....SEEN MY PINK MOUSE?  THE BUGGAR ESCAPED LAST NIGHT"    ;D

I'm like totally cracking up over here...too funny.

The dumpster is a classy touch!  LOL!!  Keep swatting!!   ;D

What gives Felix? I think you should lobby for a canopy too! I See lots of equipment exposed to the elements and your wuss bandmate standing there like a sultan. ;D

(Glad I'm not the only one who plays classy venues.)

Looking at the photo again ... it looks like Felix is at the starting gate ... ready for someone to yell GO!!!

Actually the shade there was pretty awesome...we are having a hot spell up here this week....
The day before I was in the sun, that was NO fun...I thought my face was on fire when I was done.

Word is coming back that everybuddy loved the show...it was a lot of fun.  We were playing behind a bunch of wild guitar players and those guys were really getting off- people were digging it.

I like the up turned up COW and the Sandcrawler in the mid-background......

Sonors are looking lovely(love the green, ive got Orange) but I never liked the logo thats being used in that generation....Ive got the understated Sonor logo, that belongs to the late 70's early 80's.....

Talk about shade.  two weekends past I played at a tent revival for my church.  I got there to set up and saw this huge tent with all its shade- set up my kit on the risers (three risers two in front one in back sort of straddling the front two and of course there wasn't a single seam or corner that matched up- I played that night with my snare drum falling back and forth 2-3 inches from it on its stand with all three legs setting on 2 of the risers to it rocking (thankfully with no force) a little  too close for comfort near the shall we say mid section of my body as the risers pitched and yawed with the beat of the drums) with everything shaded perfectly but face and forehead

Well felix, just another day, picture captures the essence of drumming and having a good time too.  I remember those days................playing in the rain, little kids standing around telling you about their brother that they know for sure is better than you, the groupies, the people that complain when your group stops for a break, someone trips on the only power connection for the rest of the group and suddenly your the loudest thing playing............yeah the good-ol-days!!

Anyway cool felix, hope you had fun.

Have to have fun, life is serious enough.  I mean if you can't have fun with your music, what's the point?  There isn't one then.

That picture looks like you're the Limp Bizkit music conducter! It's great. I can see you directing Fred Durst on when he should go "ROLLIN'" etc... :) And 1, 2, guitar...

Honestly I'm not trying to one up you with this.
I played some tent revivals on a mission to South Africa. At a Zulu town, I was playing a 'student series' set on the soft dirt and grass with both my hi hat and throne sinking. I think we resorted to using cardboard or something :)
Still a great experience though.

Cavanman-

Your my hero-
Seriously though... isn't it amazing the disease we all possess, that we put up with so much yet still- we just gotta play...it just has to be some kind of sickness- thats the only explanation ;D
