Gah!! Much Suck!!!!

[goalieman92]

Well, I was bored waiting for practice so I went to a hill with a teammate. The snow is covered with about and inch or 2 of ice so you could slide down it on your feet. Well I got down fine, but when I get to the bottom, my foot breaks through and I fall, my bare hand going through the ice. And I found out today, that ice is sharp.

When I first did this, both of them were wide open and bleeding like crazy, but and hour of having sweat pour into it stopped the bleeding real good. now the right most cut is right where my stick hits. It's gonna suck putting together that solo now. There is another on the left, very small, but falls right where i hold my hackey stick and makes that hell too.


So, Discuss injuries that made drumming a living hell.

or drumming injuries

[MeaninglessPhoto]

damn dude that sucks.

I once lost 1/2-3/4 of my nail on my thumb when my hihat stand fell down and the memory lock caught my thumb. That thing bled for a good 2-3 hours. I found the nail in my stick holder. Barf.

[goalieman92]

nice.

God damn that little one is a pain. it lies right where I rest my hand on stuff, for typing, and other ****. I'm gonna have to be operating left handed for a while. damnit this sucks

[Caleb_Pickering]

one time i got a little crazy happy at a show and accidentally hit myself in the face extremly hard.

[goalieman92]

nice. It's always fun to hear of other's misfortune to belittle your own

[crazyguy832]

Breaking my arm riding my bike. Slow down before going onto gravel... trust me.

>_<

That was a few years ago, though. Lately....... hhhhhhhmmmmmm... well, shucks, I'd have to say... uummm... actually not really anything lately. Lucky me.

[Mirror.Circuit]

[ThatOneDrummer]

i sliced my left index finger open once trying to cut french bread with a huge kitchen knife. i have a really cool scar there now, ill take pics soon
i had to wear a makeshift cotton/hockey tape bandage on my finger that made it three times its normal size:p it was hard to play drums
you should stup hurting yourself, goalieman

[alvyn]

the worst for me would be 2 yrs ago where i dislocated my last 2 fingers on my left hand during a waterpolo game. i was the goalkeeper and i happened to rise a bit too late to stop a 4m shot. for some reason my left hand was pointing slightly front as the ball hit...

well it did deflect the ball out and i did save it, but all i felt at that point in time was really just pure pain. everything turned white and i was underwater screaming and making a lot of wierd noises.

i swore in 4-5 different languages and dialects when my they straightened my fingers out in the hospital after that.

ouch ++, no drumming for a month, pain for the next month. haha

or drumming injuries

So why are there scissors in the background then?

[Jezen]

Bwahaha emo.

[rotary alchemist]

I was just about to say that. With the scissors in the back, makes it look suss. Anyways that must suck to get injury like that. I hope you can still play.

My drum related injury is one time when I was playing, I cut the back of my hand on my hats. Nasty cut.

[Little Android Man]

i broke my thumb last year.
couldnt even grip a stick.

goalieman, this is the perfect place to whore your kit! go for it.

[Drum Phil]

I hit myself in the face/shoulder a few times.

And ive got my knuckle on the snare rim too.

And i fell off a stage once.

[the_pure_drummer]

Try snapping your left ankle playing rugby then not being able to use the hi hat atall!

Remember that one guys?

[Zildjian]

that dosent look that bad GM

I once stabbed hand with a screwdriver when me and my dad were playing around with the corvette. It hurt really bad because toughed touched bone.

I took countless drumsticks to the face and and getting knuckle to the rim's.. Not lately though, since my technique got way better

[ant_182]

I've not had any serious injuries. But everyweek I play with cut hands, sometimes its really bad and they split and bleed. (Cos I work with glass and I dont always wear the gloves). But I've got used to that now. Also I once pulled a muscle in my "bass drum" leg. That fu*king hurt!

Meh, that doesnt matter really, it only stops you lifting the hats, cos you can play with them open and use a rim for closed. :)

Gravel= less traction sire. You officially suck. :rolleyes:

someone doesn't do much biking ;)

When you slow down hard on a front suspension bike, all the pressure goes onto the front wheel, and when you hit the gravel, even if you turn the slightest, your front tyre will go unless you have on beefy ****er, and i mean beefy, as in, about 2.5" or something.

Trust me, i've found this out on drains, gravel, wood (never, ever, brake on a wooden bridge which goes over a steam and has no hand rails) and a lot of other surfaces.

then again, my tyres are pretty useless.

[TTTSNB]

^ well, yeah, that's what I was saying. It's just like driving in a car or riding a motorcycle, considerably harder to handle on loose surfaces.

[maniac0796]

Yuh.

I'd of sped up or kept my speed constant if i was going to go on gravel, and then slow down gradually to a nice controllable speed. There's a lot more to biking well than you would think.

The worse thing to hit at speed is a cattle grid though. If you don't get thrown off your bike, you'll sure has hell need to rest for a a few mins, and check your frame over afterwards.

For those of you who don't know what a cattle grid is, it is a set of steel bars layed out on a small section of road. The idea is that if cattle walk on it, they'll get stuck. but cars can go over it:

[the_pure_drummer]

Nice grid. Where's the stuck cows?

[ant_182]

they fell in

[poopoogaypoon]

I killed a man once...not sure what it has to do with this thread, but their was alot of blood.:)

[goalieman92]

Yeah, not to terrible, I was really just complaining about the placement of it, because they fall right where I do everything.

This isn't near my worst injury. I couldn't tell you the worst. I've cracked my head open on a rock b4. Accidentally stabbed myself in the leg. Ripped my knuckels off to the bone on lugs, and once on a door(don't ask), and have closed my legs in the door of a truck getting out of it(again, don't ask). oh, and a car related one, I ripped open my thumb on the spindel of my dads truck while changing the brake pads

The Scissors I had forgotten to but away from a gay project for school.

[Zildjian]

Oh car storys eh? I got a few

When I was about 14, my aunt or some family member tryed to close the door for me and 4 fingers got cought.. It sucked because my nails just got really black and blue and the nail didn't fall off for a week

I think 2 years ago I stuck my head out the window and my sister was closing it and my head was traped and I was choking...Worst 10 seconds of my life. I had like a giant strip cut on my neck.

I also took some mean spills on my bike because I liked doing that flat land stuff. Worst one was I got my leg cought inbetween the frame and fell, the rest of my body went a totally different direction. haha
then I gave up on that stuff because I started driving a car, and got to big for those bmx bikes

[static]

lawl owned.

[goalieman92]

nice. I've been to big for most bikes except for like those giant wheeled bikes so I really don't have that problem any more. Though, last weekend playing hockey, I went down, and the went to move, but my leg didn't move with my body, and I feel my knee pop about 8 times, followed by some pretty intense pain. the same thing happened the next time I went down too, except only popped twice

[WyrmDL]

The worst Ive had was with my right hand in the bathroom.

[goalieman92]

oh and zil

[Leprechauns1021]

lolz i rode a damned scooter down a very steep hill without shoes on. When i tried to brake my feet started to burn. So, like a dumbass, i tried to step off the scotter. I dont know exactly how fast i was going, but i flipped a good 3-4 times and rolled about 30 feet down the hill.

Twisted an arm, ankle, got a black eye, numerous scrapes,and bit my tounge REALLY hard. Good thing none of my tounge came off loolz


Moral of the story-Dont try to step out of moving vehicles

[Little Android Man]

The worst Ive had was with my right hand in the bathroom.

right hand.... bathroom.....







HAHAHAHA, I GET IT!

[static]

lol master batez.

[playdrums]

I accidentally smashed my toenail on my left foot with a door which removed it from the nail bed partially. Had to get it removed and couldn't wear a shoe/play hi hat for a while.

[Sabian4015]

I fell off a treadmill once. My friend cranked up the speed really fast and I had already ran atleast 2 miles, so I was tired and couldn't exacly keep up and just fell down and it shot me out.

Ouch.

/go run-on sentences!

[Jezen]

Were no handrails? Or stationary platforms on the sides? You shouldn't ever get hurt on a treadmill.

[Sharkey Boy]

One tyme I headbutted my girlfriend by accident....we aint together any more
