    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.

    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.

  13. TayYH89
    Date: Sun, Dec 23 2007 02:16:15

    Never once. I guess it because drumming isn't much of a culture here.

  14. shoeman6
    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 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!!!

    Being the particularly odd person I am, I've been counting. 27 times in the past 2 months. It's annoying.

    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

  23. Teatime
    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?!"

  25. QuestionMark
    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

    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. tongue.gif

    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. laugh.gif

    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.

    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.
