fledgehog Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I have found that while playing , if I chew gum, it helps me concentrate on what I'm doing, and occasionally allows me to better follow the rhythm of the song. Also, having something to chew on gives me an excuse to make funny faces Any other drummers find advantage (or disatvantage) to chewing gum while playing? I suppose it applies to all other non-singer musicians as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush! Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I sometimes chew gum while playing drums. I actually feel that I can concentrate pretty well with or without chewing gum. So I can't really say whether it enhances my concentration or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush! Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Charlie Watts never hits the hi-hat at the same time he hits the snare drum. Anyone ever notice this? It was very apparent at the Super Bowl performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CygnusX-1Bk2 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 That's his "style" and has been doing that forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charliewang Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Agreed but sometimes it really screwes me up if i'm having a bad session with them, usually i find having the perfect pair of socks on is key for me, especially since playing barefoot just causes more problems and it's been over a year since I have. Just depends i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
launchpad67a Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I smoke and play all the time. You should find out what kind of gum Carter chews and go buy some. Ya know, because it's gotta make you a better player if you do exactly what the other guy does! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
