Wrong gig?

A friend sent this to me.  I haven't had a chance to watch it yet, but from the article, it may be amusing.

This guy is the best! His videos are all over the web right now. Thanks for sharing Guinness, this guy makes me smile.

Guys,

This is the Mad Drummer, who I talked about in this thread: http://www.dmdrummer.com/index.php?topic=403.0

He definitely got me thinking about stage presence.. think about it.. Do you say "Hey we're playing next weekend.. come listen to us??"


I've been watching a lot of great drummers on youtube. A few of my favs for showmanship/presence are as follows:

Dave Grohl
Shannon Larkin? (Godsmack)
Bonzo
Keith Moon
Tommy Lee

I'm not so much about the stick flips (only cool if you don't F up the beat), but really getting into the music and fueling the crowd with a few moves.

Anyone want to comment on stage presence, or add to the list? I know this is only the tip of the iceberg..

i'm terrible with names, so I don't think I can add to that list.

What cracks me up about this guy is that he's soo over the top, that it's distracting.   It's a cross between funny and an awkward laugh.

You're absolutely right... but that dude has the moves DOWN!  He's good at that s#!+!  (But, the drumming is pretty standard.)  Good point though: if you're playing live, you are there to entertain, and that means you have to at least THINK about stage presence...
