My 15 year old daughter is in a rock band in central florida (a band called Driven, ages 15-18. They play out almost every weekend and are becoming popular, they just headlined for bikefest). Her bass player (who is 16) has awesome stage presence, but this is one of those songs that she just head bangs away. She’s sort of my spirit animal on stage, and hopefully one day, when I’m old (getting there), I can be like her on stage.
I just realized something, how tall is the singer? She looks like a 7 foot Amazonian. The drum riser is about 2 feet tall, that looks like a 22" bass drum so the drummer should have sit at about almost 4 and half foot tall still shorter than the singer by almost a foot,
My daughter is 5’2" sitting behind those drums. She’s on a custom made riser. The singer is certainly tall for a girl! And you’re right, those are 22" bass drums!
Yeah those double bass drum setup is no joke, lots of foot traffic
She’s very good, the use of China is also very tasteful. I do V-drums and dab a little bit on the acoustic kits but man they are too loud for me. Here’s my kit. I went for minimum foot print on the acoustic.
LOL! No, I assume nothing!
I lived in Cologne (gay capital of Germany) for quite some times, and many of my male friends turned out to wear high heels on a regular basis.
It was fun to join them on parties - 90% men, but 10% very good looking girls (and half of them even had XX chromosomes).
It was big fun - miss those crazy times!
Same here
On one afterparty there was a “challenge accepted” situation where I was tricked into wearing high heals (I have size 46 shoes, but they had a huge choice of high heels for that size).
I felt completely uncomfortable, did not wear them more than 30 seconds (which felt like hours, to be honest). But I got quite a few compliments about my calves too. Mainly from the men - my girlfriend was literally rolling on the floor and could not stop laughing (she practically invented ROFL!).
I felt much more comfortable in my combat boots though, which were my goto shoes for underground events
Nice! She uses IEMs as she doesn’t like the loudness either, but she would rather play these than anything. She complains if she has to use a single bass kit, which happens for charity events they do
