So I broke my finger.

And I have a percussion festival tomorrow. I have to play about a 4 minute piece with bells and snare drum.



I cannot hold a stick.


What do I doooo?

[Mr. Grill]

Play with your feet. Or elbows, ala Youtube snare solo guy.

[statdat]

hope your other hand is ready for a workout

[Mr. Grill]

Which finger is it?

[Bonham#1!]

Umm tell the dude who is your superior

"Yo homes I gone broke a finger mahn"

"Yo George that excuse aint gon cut it"

"Yeah but sir-"

"No buts man, cept for teh 1z on mah hookerz"

And then you play anyway and your better than ever befor.

Sorry for the not helping but it helped me be not bored for a minute.

Mainly little finger, part of my middle.

[Bonham#1!]

How do you brake like part of a finger. is it like a hairline break on your middle.

edit: i splelled break two different ways

[Mr. Grill]

I dont think thats as bad as breaking your thumb or index... imagine playing without a fulcrum.

[static]

Yes Bonham.



I know that, but it's still hard to play.

[fishbulb]

Good luck with that.

Also, tell us how it goes.

[static]

All right bro.

[Undisco Kidd]

Well dammit, you have but one option.

You must play congas with your feet. Dancing.

[A Vision of Sunny Days]

free hand technique for rolls.

put your finger in a mini splint, its temporary, still might hurt, but should hold you down for a 4 min set.

Or you could tape it up real good with some cloth tape. Thats about all I can think of dude. hope that helps.

[Mr Pink]

Morphine M&Ms

[ofDooM]

If possible, try not to attend.

It wont help using a broken bone, especially putting it through stress.

[Zildjian]

Be a man, Bonham made his hands bleed from beating on his drums

Or take a ton of pain killers

or drink till you cant feel feelings.

[Perroquet Magique]

My snare drum is splattered with blood where I cut my finger on a cymbal and didn't notice. Looks pretty cool actually.

[Bonham#1!]

hXc to the max

[the_pure_drummer]

Just use the fulcrum as much as possible.

Stick your pinkie out when playing to keep it elavated ;)

[Josiah]

Psssh is this guy a weak Travis Barker wanna be or what?!































Just playin George, that sucks, hope it gets better soon! Not worth injurying it further, or causing it to not heal right from playing on it. My suggestion, if it hurts to play on it. Drop the gig.
Pain is the sign of something bad - this is one of those time the risk to payoff just ain't worth it.

My brother's friend also did that, but since it wasn't me i'm pissed.

[Josiah]

Word, I've had that happen a few times.

If the guy just got a wet napkin at the time shoulda cleaned up no problem.

So I played in the end.



And my hand is pretty much green.



But we did well, and I managed to play marimbas with two fingers on my right hand. But I had some difficulty playing snare.

[Little Android Man]

thats the way to suck it up, pussy bitch.

[skidrumbum]

Good for you, you made the best out of this unfortunate turn of events.

[drummguy731]
