BIG Problem Guys...

[Massik Kretal]

So I have a show tomorrow, a djembe, no money, and a problem.

I need to mount my djembe on something. I have no stand, and I can't afford one!

What can I do!?!?!?!? :confused:

[Talos]

Do you really need it?

[Cheungman]

ask the local store if you can burrow one for the night or something. Like give him something for collateral or arrange a special deal. Maybe improvise without it? how vital is it to the show?

use your knees to hold it up and play at the same time.
good luck :thumb:

[Talos]

GD is that way

[Massik Kretal]

Well its pretty important because we are doing an "acoustic" version of one of our songs. Also in one of our songs theres this whole psychedelic-ish jam part that I recorded hand percussion on it, and know I can finally do it live as well...

Hmm...maybe I can build one? :lol: Crap man I need ideas!

[the_pure_drummer]

Hmmmmmmm go to the store and rent one like some dude said up there?

Sit down and play?

[SgtBaker]

Does it have a strap? You could somehow tape it or hang it on a cymbal stand.

[TimJim]

its built to be put between your knees!

try it!

[Talos]

You got ignored the first time.
Give up.

[SgtBaker]

its built to be put between your knees!

try it!
It'd be hard though if he is playing drums though.

[TimJim]

oh in the middle of a set...

i see,i thought it was an acoustic set...

ok borrow a rack.

[Talos]

Just because its acoustic it doesnt mean hes playing various hand percussion.
Acoustic sets can use kits as well you know.

[TimJim]

im aware.
i just thought it was all on djembe.

[Talos]

Youre not aware.
And you didnt think that.

[stevensonmat2]

I hate timjim too but the constant attacking of him is pretty lame.

[the_pure_drummer]

I dont why theres so much hate around.

Spread the love!

[keaton_86]

Use a rubbish bin upside down with like a towel lining it so it doesnt scratch the djemebe?

It might work *blank look*

[TimJim]

thats not a bad idea...

[Sunshine]

Does it need to be at an angle or..?

[TimJim]

i would guess...
especially to hit the edge...

[Sunshine]

Then putting it in a trashcan would do no good, it would still stand straight up.

[TimJim]

put a towel under it.

put something under it.

[Sunshine]

It would be unstable to say the least.

[TimJim]

but if its just for one song...

btw who is massik kratel that he has so much neg?

[Sunshine]

Pit kid.

And even if it is just for one song, if it's unstable, what happens when it falls?

[TimJim]

good point.
i stand corrected

[fastlane]

take a rope and strap it to your hi hat stand. put some kinda of cloth underneath it and strap it really tight at the bottom and loose at the top so it hangs at an angle. a small shoe box or something underneath it just for extra support. that should put it about snare drum height?

[-TGP-]

Get 2 straps with velcro on each end, a piece of foam and something to strap it too.

[Massik Kretal]

Pit kid.

And even if it is just for one song, if it's unstable, what happens when it falls?

Pit kid? **** you. :p

I'm insulted! I have no clue why I have so much neg. But it doesn't mean anything so...whatev.

Anyway, I dunno about the djembe. I need it to be off the floor is all so that it can resonate and I can get some tone out of it.

[We_Love_Lime]

put it on the floor...
but cut a whole in the floor so it can resonate.

[Massik Kretal]

PERFECT! We Love Lime you are a genius!

[TerranCmdr]

Get someone to hold it for you. I'm sure if your band is popular enough you can find someone to be your bitch for one song. :P

[Cheungman]

you cut a hole into the floor? am i not getting something or did a venue actually let you cut into their place...

[Massik Kretal]

Get someone to hold it for you. I'm sure if your band is popular enough you can find someone to be your bitch for one song. :P

:rolleyes: We have no fans silly!

[Sunshine]

Pit kid? **** you. :p

Awwww, I didn't mean it in a negative manner~

[Matter]

you can use a snare stand.

[stylers_new_account]

i forget where i saw this, but some guy had it in his lap while he played, he just moved his seat a little bit farther back then usual, or you could go looking for a couple cinder blocks and have the djembe just ontop of them, making sure they bottom is as open as possible.

just random ideas, hope they help.

[oliv_da_skinmasher]

I'm thinkin proped up to the left of the hats

[Massik Kretal]

you can use a snare stand.

I was gonna do that. But its alright guys my drum teacher gave me his conga stand. I can even tilt the drum depending on how I place it.

Now you can stop worrying. Thanks :thumb:

[The Mites]

You could have just strapped it to yourself with a rope...

[the_pure_drummer]

and looked like someone from zulu ;)

[TimJim]

:lol:

[the_pure_drummer]

What are you laughing at punk?

[TimJim]

your joke...

you forgave me right?

[the_pure_drummer]

forgave you?

[TimJim]

about the Harry Potter joke...

ive said sorry like three times, i thiught you would laugh as hard as i did...
