I love how playing cardboard drums (and assorted paraphenalia) changes the way I see the world. These days I walk around wondering what things sound like if I hit them, and how they could be used musically. I value — treasure even — things like paper bags and egg cartons, which other people have too many of, and see as only fit for garbage or recycling.
Of course, destroying my "drums" during a performance and throwing the pieces into the crowd is pretty fun too ;)

This was my childhood - my parents got me my first drum set so I would stop denting the lamps.
ReplyDeleteHope touring is as fantastic as it sounds - I envy you greatly, whilst trying to dig up sources for music research essays.
