So, what do you when not playing drums????????????

[dammow]

i was curious to know what you all do for a day job etc (if its not drums!) and general interests and hobbies...

i work as a carpenter/ joiner/ woodwork in all forms. i like it, the money is good and the job is different all the time.
also enjoy a drink at the weekends and the occasional smoke!

i know PJ makes drums and i know rob crisp is a radio DJ.

so what do the rest of you do???

 

[tapeworm97]

im 16 so im about to start working in probably a fast food restaurant any time soon, but just usually skate and hang with friends.

 

[rufus4dagruv]

My day gig is selling sheet music and software for the world's largest sheet music distribution company.

 

[Timekeep69]

I'm also a video game tester at THQ games.

 

[Rockula!]

I spend most of my time inhaling smoke and consuming information that I will regurgitate into my art
Today is my last day a work (music store) and then I will head back to Texas where I will exist on my tax refund
I have been searching for other like minded artists on mYSpace and hope to exist doing art
Since I have no posessions or place to live, I hop to try to hook up with a touring band and live on the road

think about playing drums

 

[Royspeed]

I run my own transport/removals company, covering the whole of the mainland UK.

Well, it is more like a glorified 'man with a van'.

But having a big Luton box van makes it really easy to move my kit around!

I am a welder and painter for a rack and containment maker. I also fish, do art work and have even designed my own drum equipment such as chain stands etc. I am currently designing a variety of thrones for the larger man in mind. Big butts and little seating area makes for a large angry man! :shock: I also moderate a drum forum as many here know. My favorite assignment in life is being a dad to 4 budding musicians. My oldest son plays the guitar my oldest daughter the flute, youngest boy plays the drums and youngest girl plays the Tambourine. Now any man can be a father but I have the privilege of being a dad. By the way I got my oldest boy into the greats like Muddy Waters, Hendrix, Eric Johnson etc. He hates some of the crap music out there today. I also have 1 special needs cat and 11 Degus.

 

[cableman26]

I'm a Technician for a local cable company. When I'm not playing drums I like to take my guitar up my friends and just sit around and play music all night.

 

[Mitchell?]

Play guitar, bass, piano, listen to music, go to school, sleep, eat, think about drums/guitar/bass/music, talk about drums/guitar/bass/music, go to shows, work in my studio, record in le studio.

Music is a big part of my life

 

[break the prism]

I'm in school, so that takes up some time. In between classes I normally either chill at my apartment and listen to music. I'm an artist, so I'll often paint while I'm at my apartment.
Or I go for walks and smoke hundreds of American Spirits.
I also work out a lot. I need to spend at least 45 minutes at the gym every day.
I spend a hefty amount of time reading and writing, not always for school.
My current job is doing sound for bands at the campus coffeehouse.

 

[dbkman]

I own a painting business, so that takes up a little time. And I teach guitar and drums. But the biggest time consumer is Firefighter school.

[The "D" man]

oh yea and I'm addicted to DML

 

[stump]

Spending time with family! Hunting, fishing, shooting some of the MANY weapons I own, cooking, riding my Harley, golfing, going to local band shows and having a cold beer with my best friends. Guess that pretty much covers it. Peace on ya!

school crap and runescape.com lol im a nerd

haha i remember playing that in 6th grade

 

[dedrummervanrolf]

I study English language and culture here at university, and on weekends I work at a coffee place (the dutch starbucks so to speak). I'm in two bands, and at the moment I'm starting a third one. The rest of my time I hang with friends, go to concerts, and watch MTV

 

[Brother_Bong]

I am a welder, primarily in the petroleum industry ie tankfarms and pipelines. I am a father of two, Stephen 4.5 and Victoria 2.5, and a husband. In my spare time I try and come up with ideas for New concept percussion, and I plan drummers' conventions. The biggest time killer right now is moving snow. In case nobody noticed Maine has received record breaking snowfall this year, I have 10 foot snow banks, no lie.

 

[BillRayDrums]

I am currently building websites. It's the one job that allows me to work wherever I am....like during the sermon this AM backstage at my church gig, lol!

Here's one of my sites- I am still working on it so pardon the occasional glitch.

FYI they are Britney Spears' across-the-street neighbors and I gotta go up there tomorrow. WooHoo!

Oops I did it again

 

[SingleStroke7]

I am a Technician for a Ford dealership. On my time off, I work in my home studio with local musicians. The studio is a work in progress, but i am enjoying learning this end of the business. I also play many other instruments and produce beats for local hiphop artists, but drumming is my true love (don't tell my girlfriend).
