Ever had a night when your right foot just won't work?

Last band practice: R hand, L hand R foot & L foot wouldn't work with each other.

Each limb was working, just out of sync with each other.

the side effects used to get coked up at practice and then my right foot would be way too fast.

Shit, my right foot never works.

It's usually my left hand that doesn't work the best

Your lucky!!!...Lately it's been my brain!!!!

Don't ya love when a mic or some other part of the kit becomes loose and you either play around it or worry so much about it your not paying attention to the rest of the kit and a loose mic cable takes a stick for a spinning twist out of your hand.

(like last night!!)

Even tho I always make a "pre-trip" around the kit before hand.

I really hate to admit this but I've had alot of trouble placing 16th notes in-between 8th notes with my right foot in certain situations on certain songs. Like, "Sweet Home Alabama", I've struggled with this for years but I've learned to overcome it with my mind instead of the physical aspect. I picture & feel the note that I need to play as I play it. This has worked for me & perhaps it will for you. In other cases, it seems that my right foot has a mind of its own - playing almost like I have little control over what it's gonna do. But not too much, thankfully. But if my left foot could do what my right foot can, maybe I could play metal. Then again, could I get paid for playing that around my area? I don't think so.

Drumming is like 90% mental after all.

There's a good masturbation joke in there.

I can think of numerous times where my feet, in general, did not want to cooperate. My hands are usually my fail safe though.

my feet always do what they want... like this one time my right foot was playing in 3/4 while my left was playing in 9/8 while my right and left hands were playing in 19/16 and 4/4 respectively. it was quite a feat... my band just didn't know where one was, and neither did i, because well, let's face it, there are 1's all over the place...

Good masturbating is nothing to joke about.
