barneyg42 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 [quote name='seashell' timestamp='1427973357' post='2736470'] I think I do. Only it's more of a heel tapping really. I also do a lot of hair tossing (didn't realise that until I saw a recent vid of me playing live!) Stand by for some 'tossing' jokes from discreet...... [/quote] Oh let me be the first!!!! I always thought there were quite a few tossers on here!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzodog Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Only time i do is when we play Substitute. For some reason i cant gauge when to start each verse unless i tap four beats from end of chorus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I do everything, unfortunately, but mainly jerk my head around erratically. If I had hair I would probably swish it. I can't help it. It looks like someone has plugged me into the mains. I also hum the bassline I am playing, so have to keep clear of my mic. If ever I play with a new bunch of people I issue them with disclaimers and warnings about contacting paramedics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roland Rock Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Not foot tapping. I do tend to bob up and down like a demented chicken though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leftybassman392 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Another inveterate foot-tapper here. In my guitar-playing days I had to keep an eye on it just to make sure I didn't accidentally stomp on any of my stomp boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 [quote name='planer' timestamp='1428044221' post='2737296'] I forget to breathe... [/quote] I do this quite often Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnDave Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I find it very difficult to stay still on stage, have belted our Jenny on the head with my bass (inadvertently, honest) quite a few times. It will be interesting to see how I get on tonight as I am semi-incapacitated but still giggling. Hopefully it will mean Jen's head will be safe!

FinnDave Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) And apparently I do things like this quite often (didn't know until I saw the pics/videos that proved it!)

VestonPants Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I'm told I stick my tongue out when I'm concentrating. I strongly suspect I do that when I'm playing. Good job I no longer care about image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerstodge Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1427975122' post='2736514'] I do this, it's good for the Chalfonts - helps to ease 'em back up a bit. They can distracting at times.

dadofsix Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 The better the drummer the less tapping I'm doing. But, in those situations when a drummer is, shall we say, careless with his meter, I'm tapping like crazy. As you might guess, I have a LOT more fun playing when I don't have to tap. <><Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
