what do you guys tap on when you're not on the set? I was tapping on my desk in a class im taking the other day and the teacher always has to tell me to stop.. I don't even do it consciously it just happens and I have to realize this and catch myself.. otherwise, i tap everywhere i go.. when im sitting down i tap on the chair and practice my double bass, when im in the car i tap on the steering wheel, and i also tap on the desk.. anyone else have this problem?

hahaha thats a good point, I get that all the time from my friends because i tap constantly and move my foot as if I was playing the bass drum pedal... ur right I dont even think about it, it just sort of happens but its good practice as well

it IS good practice if you don't have access to a drumset. If your family, friends, or roommate who lives with you can deal with your drum practice time, they sure as hell can deal with some tapping

I think I find that the one place I do it that seems to get them everytime is in a check out line.
Ill be holding a pin and start tapping it and they will look at me and just be like It is going to take a min or to thinking that I am telling them to hurry up and then I have to exsplain why Im tapping.

hm, that's a subtle way to get them to work faster.. not a bad idea...

the rest of you have ADD, stop tapping!

haha just kidding mates, that what people tell me all the time.. that i have ADD because I tap a lot.. but I like to think of it as.. "A Damn-good Drummer"
