Are drummers always annoying?

I know a drummer and he's pretty much permanently drumming his hands on his knees or his fingers on hard objects or his feet on the floor. Fucking drives me insane.

I do this,

I'm not a drummer though, and I generally drum following the strumming of the guitar. I assume this is a whole other level of annoyance.


It's worse when there's music on,

he'll sit there drumming on his knees/midair as if they are his temporary imaginary drumkit. I suppose I can tolerate though cos the sound of the music drowns it out.


FINALLY!

I tried to explain this to my friend, who is a super duper drummer, that I drum the guitar. He looked at me with hate and confusion. I'm just happy someone else does it.


i guitar the drums and drum the guitar

im a fucked up kid


haha,

it always fits for me, but obvs doesn't for anyone else in the car/train


Bad drummers do this all the time

And it really annoyes, particularly when they start falling behind.


I have a friend who drums

he does this all the time, but I find it more amusing than annoying.


I'm not a drummer

but am someone who always wanted to play drums. I do this quite a lot and also tap my feet at gigs and things and then look around and often seem to be the only person doing it. I do have restless legs though.


nah

two of my best friends are drummers. they're both lovely.


I'm not a drummer

but I am a compulsive fidget. It annoys the shit out of people but I can't help it!


i do this

i'm a drummer. it does annoy some people but others don't care. i try not to but i can't help it sometimes.

being a drummer is tough but you get to play your kit once or twice a week, if your really into it that can be frustrating.

A funny story. when i was a kid i had an aunt who would literally go mental when she saw me doing this.

when i grew up i found out her husband left her because she used to beat him up. so she obviously had major anger issues.


.......

Not sure 'funny' is the best word to sum up your anecdote...


Both my Dad and my bro do this

they are both drummers. It used to drive me crazy!


They're BOTH drummers? Wow.

Do they/did they drum in any bands we know?


I used to live with a drummer

and he was always doing this. I found it funny though.

I always air-drum whenever I'm listening to music, I just can't help it!


I rarely do this.

I used to be on course where another drummer would pretend he had his double bass drum pedal with him every time he sat down. Bad.


I always do this

and i'm a kiss ass drummer \m/ :)

It annoys people but what the hell...I constatntly tap away on my deask at work.....also good acoustics in the bathroom when sitting on the loo, i play full leg toms and double kick on the linoleum floor....sounds reet good.
