Forbury Lion The problem with being a drummer is that you probably damage your hearing and go deaf, This does not help when it comes to hearing chants/songs that others are singing and as a result you bang bang bang at the wrong time. The sensible drummer would have earplugs to protect their ears but that makes it even harder to listen to the crowd.
They're banging one drum occasionally every two weeks (with a soft-headed drumstick at that), not sitting in front of Black Sabbath's stack at Knebworth for 10 years. It's not going to make a blind bit of difference to their hearing. It's nowhere near loud enough.
The drummers played at the wrong time because they were bloody useless. They couldn't even pick out the right kind of drum to use.
I want to see Animal from The Muppets up there from next season.
