Drinking & Drumming....

[Gustavo_Loureiro]

Really? Hmm so you think it´s a beer problem and not a general alcohol thingy?

yeah man, like others said, beer slows down.. at least for me! and I need lots of energy behind the set. whisky lights my fire!

I have to try drumming on acid one day! and then some coke... and some horse shit and all lol

Damn...I love me some Beer! I´m a goddamn German!!! Okay since I were in Ireland I´m convinced to Whiskey, too But yeah man, I hear ya...

This experience yesterday wasn´t really pleasent for me and my self - confidence. We had some audience at the rehearsal and I fucked it up a bit

Edit: And let me add...I´m a fucking guitarist and singer originally. Some people here know me. Drumming is something totally NEW for me (in a Band situation), but I enjoy it so much

I never drink alcohol before going on stage, it makes my mouth dry and I don't like that when I'm singing...

I remember we played with a pretty technical death metal band some years ago... they had to start their show, but couldn't find their guitar player. He was throwing up at the toilet.... but when he came out of the toilet, face white as a ghost, he entered the stage and started playing. Can't remember I heard him make any mistake and he's playing was tight as a baby's ass.....

Hmmm I think I will try red bull & whiskey the next time. Is both compatible? I don´t wanna have some fucking heartburn, cause we ususally do some eating orgy after the rehearsal

Not to sound like a shit-talking moron, but I've got by far the highest tolerance of anybody Ive ever met... so I tend to drink 6 drinks before I even get down to brass tax... and since drumming has been my forte for over 20 years, I can do that shit backwards in my sleep.... even hard technical patterns...

HOWEVER... playing guitar? Not a fucking chance. Too many small muscle groups. I just cant fucking do it. Wont even try. Anymore than 3 or 4 drinks and attempting to play guitar is just OVER.

Vocals? Well that completely depends. I've found a few drinks in me loosens me up to optimal level... Im sure anymore makes me sound like a bag of fuck though

Don't drink before, drink on stage. I can drink 2-3 beers before the show, during the show depends, but I use to drink 2-3 more. I have to admit that my band is anything but technical.
