Hyperventilating...

Well, of course, I have an embarrassing attempt at drumming to this song captured on video for dozens of cringing pseudo-fans to view!

Right here! 8-)

Bravo (ya looney)!

Very cool, sir! (:-D
I enjoyed the "commentary" too! (;-)

Okay, okay... You guys are starting to sound like Paula from American Idol:

"...but you look great!" LOL

Seriously, thanks for the compliments here, and at YT. I'd like to do more, but I'd feel horrible about having to break up "Milliontown" into 10-minute video fragments. lol I'm gonna try to post more original stuff soon.

Okay, and more Frost*iness! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

I love the expression at c. 1m48s.

I don't know much about drummer (other than that I want to learn how to play), but I know enough to say that Hyperventilate is a hard song to drum.

Well done sir!

LOL at your faces after drinking tea!

Good job indeed!

Stupendous stuff, that man!
One of these days I'll have a go at it myself......

I shall have to meander through your back catalogue now

Good tune, too!

Mint!! I grinned all the way through that, really entertaining. Loved the smirks at camera and that fill at 6:27 - Awesome man!!

Like the cymbal work at 4:50 ish.

Just need to work on TBE style gurning.

Frak me, that's good, chap.

I mean, it's always hard to see the drummer in detailed action when (s)he is sat at the back behind the gurning front (wo)men showing off their flashy keyboard and guitar chops (

), so that was a masterclass in quite how amazingly complicated Hyperventilate actually is on the drums.

All kudos to Jem, TBE, and all else involved for creating such a challenging and brilliant piece, and all credit to you for giving a great shot with added entertainment value (drummers can gurn too, as others have noted

).

The 2:58 tuna-can-lid-ripping moment was extra special ... :mrgreen:

HA! I like that. Thank you!

I'm tellin' ya, for a one-offer, it was a bear! TBE's quite the musician to pull this off.

Btw, could someone fill me in on the meaning of "gurning", please. Thank you.

Philadelphia · March 24, 2009, 12:06:46 AM

gurn Verb. 1. To make involuntary and unusual facial expressions from imbibing excessive quantities of drugs such as amphetamine or MDMA; it is often apparent at raves or techno/house clubs. Originally gurning was a ruralised competitive freakshow at which toothless old men pulled ugly faces.
2. To complain. See 'girn'.
