sykopath2008 i am planning on expanding this with your comments... *note these have all happened... not to me... but i hear stories* 1. Leave a drumstick on a stage light for so long it combusts. 2. Get you crash cymbals suctioned together during a crash. 3. Knock off more that one chime on a set of wind chimes. 4. Dent the gong 5. Snap a marimba bar. 6. Hit a phenolic bell mallet so hard it shatters into five or more pieces. 7. Crack the head of a timpani during a drumroll. 8. Break the triangle. 9. Crash a pair of cymbals and have one of the cymbals fall off of the handle during the crash. 10. Lock the drum key in the drum while you are replacing the head. 11. Drop your marching bass drum and have it roll down a hill. 12. Spell "roll" wrong while editing your music. 13. Trip over your own snare drum/bell straps 14. Drop food down a the resonator bar of a mallet instrument 15. Actually KEEP your music an entire season! haha thoughs are funny you should totaly do it

Wow, you guys certainly have messed up percussion stories...
Maybe...
I was drumming once, but when I went to hit the crash cymbal, my stick flew out of my hand and hit the guitar amp. 3nodding
From ten feet away.

this is my first year in band so dont laugh
we were working on the bells and one of my friends mallets was broken only no one knew
in the middle of our very fisrt concert, the end of his mallet flew off into the croud
it stopped everyone in the middle of the song becuase people were laughing so hard
right now people have been stealing mallets, drum sticks, and pretty much anything they can put in a backpack
so i have to have lock on my band bag
it sucks

Let's see.... I've done all the things with the cymbals. But I've also broken a few drum heads. (Doesn't play drums, just breaks them...)
But I don't think these are on there.
-Yell at someone in the middle of a show (Don't try/ attempt)
-Do a lead crash right into your hip. (Hurts like h*11)
-Chip yourself/ getting chipped by someone/ chipping someone (Hurts eather way)
-Impersonate a base player/ drummer/ pit (Hilarious!)

I have a couple stories....
~Accidentally knocking over a music stand in the middle of a concert and having it hit a trumpet player.
~'Accidentally' letting go of a snare stick so that it flies over the band and hits the band director in the face. (Never happened to me, but a girl can dream)
And there used to be this kid in percussion who was a huge "troublemaker." Never practiced, talked back, etc. He played bass drum a lot, since he wasn't good at anything else. In the pieces we were playing, bass drum got VERY boring, so Luke found a great way to solve this problem. He began to hump the bass drum and make sexual noises in the middle of practices. Oh yes, and when the snare was set up next to the bass drum, he would make sure that he swung the bass mallet far enough back that it hit my arm and made me screw up whatever I was playing. *Sigh* Those were good times, back when the BD yelled at him instead of us....

I have a follow-up to my post that's kind of related to #2 (Get your cymbals suctioned together during a crash).
Well, I've been having issues with the high-hat on my drum set for about the past six months because it wasn't making the crashing noise when I stepped on the pedal. I, recently, have found out that I am majorly ignorant. rolleyes The problem was that the bottom crash cymbol had become suctioned to the top one, and therefore flipped (somehow!) inside out! Six long months of frustration, now overcome with the flip of a cymbal.... rofl cool sweatdrop stressed xd
