Looking back when... (Early Drumming Memories)
« on: November 22, 2006, 10:21:44 PM »
Hello mga peepol!
 Baka gusto nyo share yung mga memorable experience nyo as beginners... First gig, first band, first kit, first song...mga intimidating bands, ego trip, and amazing thing(or otherwise) na ginawa nyo just to be in a band, or to be recognized as a "drummer".

Ako, I used to keep my pair of sticks in my back pocket instead of stick bag...well...I actually can't afford a stick bag, and if ever, I'd rather buy another pair of sticks! :-D

First gig sa isang campus, ang tugtog composition (daw) pero ang chord progression nung kanta estafa sa U2, "with or without you" yuuuukkss! :-D
Well, beginner eh!
Kayo?

Ang di ko makalimutan na gig ko na kung saan pumalpal ako dahil sa sobrang excited at newbie pa ako eh nung 15 years old pa lang ako! 3rd Year Highschool (1995). Nasa Diamond Hotel Manila pa kami nun playing Glenn Miller's big band hit, "In the mood".

May 8 bar break sa version namin na supposedly to be qued in by the drummer (me) with a triplet single roll, pero instead ang nagawa ko, 16 beats dahil nasa utak during that time was Nirvana's "smells like teen spirit".Wah! Napatingin lahat sakin ng kabanda ko! nakakahiya! Gawin ko daw bang grunge ang big band? haha :lol:

Katulad ng mga karamihan ng high school band, nagsimula ang pagtugtog namin sa isang kanta ng Rage Against the Machine hehehe...

Tapos first song ng first band ko Nothing Else Matters ng Metallica.

ang most memorable ko eh masaya ... masayang masaya!!!

1st time sa isang gig sa bar na tapat ng UST(alam nyo na cguro yun) after playing eh di inuman na... pinagusapan na namin mga mali at ok sa tugtog namin. Maylumapit na dalawang chicks ayun! kaklase ko pala nung elementary yung isang girl at syempre nagulat sya na nagbabanda ako at drummer pa hehe and bilib daw sya sakin. Go into details pa ba ako? wag na siguro. basta ang sumatutal eh umuwi akong may ngiti sa labi at di ko kasabay kabanda ko AT tanghali na ng kinabukasan ako nakauwi.

Kung alam nya lang nung time na yun na di pa talaga ako karunong mag drums nun... nyahaha

Share ko lang din.  :-D

It happened during a church service a few years back.  Ang aga ng service that time kasi Easter/ Resurrection sunday, mga 4am ang start. We're on stage by that time na.  Before the victory songs may prayer. Sa sobrang haba ng invocation naka idlip ako, tinapik ako sa balikat ng bahista namin, tuloy  nasipa ko yung bass drum dahil sa gulat, sabay nabitiwan ko pa yung hawak kong sticks, na tumama pa sa snare. Na-groggy ako sa pagkakabigla kong yun. What a way para madistract ang service. Kakahiya talaga, halos lahat ng mata napadilat at napatingin sa akin kahit di pa tapos yung prayer dahil sa ingay na ginawa ko.  :lol:
 
Mula noon di na ako pumipikit pag prayer, lalo na kung nakapuwesto na ako sa harap ng drums, hehehehe. Mahirap na.   :-D

most memorable ko...

nalaglag ako sa stage... 4 to 5ft ata yung nilaglagan ko.
pababa na ko nun eh tapos na tugtug nun.
hawak ko pa pedal ko(lazer pa un) alangya pag tapak ko kahoy pala na malambot..
ayun nalaglag ako dire direcho. kaso nalaglag ako una pedal ayun nabasag ang plate ng pedal ko.
pero kung dahil sa pedal ko malamang nabalian ako ng kamay..
