Drum Injuries pt 2

I mean there are normal drumming injuries, cuts and bruises etc...Drums covered in blood from split fingers blah blah blah. Same old.

However I had forgotten about my most monumental drumming injury to date.

We played some gig in Bristol, wasn't the highlight of my drumming Career, I think we played ok, but with only the headliner, bar staff, soundman and 3 randoms to play to in 300+ capacity venue we were not over the moon. Maybe in years to come people will talk about being there, in a kind of Woodstock sense :) Doubful.

So a few of us pile into a cab after the gig to head out on the town, ask where the closest cashpoint is and to get dropped off.

I was sure the bloke said in Tesco Metro.

So we arrive, I jump out, dodge a few cars on the road, and accelerate like Usain Bolt towards the shop....which has a glass door....and the shops shut.


Result:















Of course everyone stood at the cashpoint NEXT to tesco Metro couldn't quite believe what they had just seen, and I couldn't see anything for blood in my eye.

I think the next night I clipped the wound with a stick as well whilst pulling my usual headbanging Punk Rock moves behind the kit.

So there you have it, Drums, Glass Doors, Booze, and advise from strangers doesn't mix!
