I get asked this all the time, and I know that some drummers spin their drumsticks, but I swear I get asked this at least once a day.

Up to date, nope.
But so far, only one person came to tell me this," Get a life!" -

I've been asked so many times if I play the drums.
When I respond no, they say you should start you would be really good at twirling your drum sticks!
And I say, but I would suck at drums. -

a lot more than just one person came up to me to say that
-
Date: Sat, Dec 22 2007 22:19:11
Yes.
-
Date: Sat, Dec 22 2007 22:19:58
ALL OF THE TIME...
-
Date: Sat, Dec 22 2007 23:27:11
Yes, a lot.
Then again, that might have something to do with the fact that I actually play drums, and that I am a music major in college. Woo.

I get asked every now and then. I say no. They ask how I can do 'that' then.
-
Date: Sun, Dec 23 2007 02:16:15
Never once. I guess it because drumming isn't much of a culture here.
-
Date: Sun, Dec 23 2007 02:22:57
no, because they know they're not allowed to talk while I spin...
-
Date: Sun, Dec 23 2007 03:08:19
yes.. but not alot..
-
Date: Sun, Dec 23 2007 19:53:23
yeah..on a daily basis its a mix of
[random person] "Dude...you play drums?"
[me] "Only your Mom's"
---------------
[random person] "You need to get a g/f or a better hand on life( no pun intended )
[me] "Stays silent, whips out phone and shows picture of girlfriend and Graphic Design Company Independent Employee ID card."
Man...have people ever heard of..."IF YOU HATE IT SO MUCH, STOP F***ING WATCHING IT!!! -
Date: Sun, Dec 23 2007 20:05:20
Well... this happened to me only once last friday. I was doing a fast and smooth fingerpass in class and this random guy came up to me and asked me this question...
-
Date: Sun, Dec 23 2007 20:06:43
Yeah lol
That was few years ago. -
Date: Sun, Dec 23 2007 23:31:19
Being the particularly odd person I am, I've been counting. 27 times in the past 2 months. It's annoying.
oh and hi again -
Date: Mon, Dec 24 2007 02:52:11
well some people in my case but not too often now since people get to know me better
-
Date: Mon, Dec 24 2007 04:42:29
Never, just "Woah, how did you do that?!".
-
Date: Mon, Dec 24 2007 17:25:33
hehe...
that happens all the time
well most of the time people say woah how did you do that and THEN they ask if i practiced with a drumstick XD -
Date: Mon, Dec 24 2007 18:49:28
Yeah...a lot...too many times really.
Of course there's the people who say:"God that's sick! How the hell did you do that?" and those who say:"Get a life" etc etc...w/e -
Date: Sun, Dec 30 2007 17:45:09
every time i spin in front of someone for the first time that's always the first thing they say to me
then i say no and they reply with "oh well my relative/friend plays drums and he does that to"
the other most common thing i get asked is "HOW DO YOU DO THAT?!" -
Date: Sun, Dec 30 2007 20:43:07
Never been asked that.....
Most of the comments I get are:
"get a life!"
"dude that's cool"
"How did you do that?!"
or my most favorite one:
"Cool, you must have very good fingers"
...
(about 5 seconds later)
"Dude WTH is wrong with your fingers?!?!"
P: -

I just really never had a friend who would play on drums, I mean it's probably the most expensive music instrument (unless you live 1km away from civilization and live alone, then you "only" have to play the actual drumset..)
-
Date: Mon, Dec 31 2007 01:09:19
People always tell me ''Hey you should play drums, you have the drumsticks tricks for''
There's only the talent in drums that is left to gain :\ XD -
Date: Fri, Jan 18 2008 01:44:49
Ya I've gotten asked a couple of times, but I think it's funny that drummers can't spin as good as pen spinners.
-
Date: Fri, Jan 18 2008 03:41:24
I've heard the question several times. They say, "Hey man, are you a drummer?"
I reply, "No," and pause dramatically. "I'm a penspinner." -
Date: Fri, Jan 18 2008 04:58:26
Mostly just adults ask me.
Most of the people at my school know
what it is by now. I always get the
disbelief statement.
and the "Dude you have no life."
whatever let'em be jealous. -
Date: Sun, Jan 20 2008 16:03:30
they jsut say that it is something like the drummers do.
-
Date: Sun, Jan 20 2008 18:41:53
All the time, but I figure its because I have long hair and, usually have like a band T-shirt on.
-
Date: Fri, Jan 25 2008 22:34:18
i get asked that alot... lol it's kinda funny b/c i kinda wunt to learn to play drums
-
Date: Fri, Jan 25 2008 22:42:20
Yo- i'm burning to ask you, do you play the drums?
haha, i dont, but most of my friends do, so people think i do... -
Date: Fri, Jan 25 2008 23:16:17

"I betcha cant play the drums" (dont)
"You look like a person who does rubik's cubes" (dont)
"OoOoOoh LoOoOok Immm Dannnnnnny(my name) *does fingerpass an drops pen*" (
) -
Date: Sat, Jan 26 2008 00:06:02
Ooh look, I'm Danny! *Does lengthy, difficult combo perfectly*
lol
*I do a charge*
"Psh, I can do that with a drumstick"
Me - Oh yeah, can you do this? *I do incredibly amazing combo and shut their face* -
Date: Sat, Jan 26 2008 01:12:17

Hmm long hair, Never really thought of that.
But yeah, quite often. I just simply reply "No I dont man." Or "Nah I dont"
I feel bad for some of you guys. Get a life? Thats just not right. -
Date: Sat, Jan 26 2008 02:36:02
Ive only been asked like twice, but yeah I have not gotten one hate comment on my pen spinning since i started doing it at school just all positive ones.
