What’s the name of those bell like things which are all in a line and sometimes drummers in easy listening music have them to the side of the kit and they drag their stick along it and it makes a sound which is a bit like when a dream sequence is about to start in a TV show?

It’s like a series of cylindrical bell type things all hanging from above on a thing and as it goes along the bells get smaller and smaller.

Feel the drummer from Arctic Monkeys has the perfect amount. Drummer from the Libertines an unnecessary amount.

The drummer has a lot of drums, but uses very few of them

  • I silently judge them negatively
  • I silently judge them positively
  • I vocally judge them negatively

Drum riser

  • Helps you see the drummer
  • For drummers with ego problems
  • Should be even higher if you ask me, so high that you can’t see them at all!
  • No opinion

Should be at an inversely proportional height to the rest of the stage. Tiny stage = massive riser.

Love the mental image of the other band members balancing delicately on a 3cm platform as the drum riser has so much space that it has its own vending machine

Saw a twat from tortoise or another post rock band from Chicago playing drums, keyboard and harmonica at the same time. Fuck that.
