What about throwing in the air, that’s gotta be a misdemeanor with a fine

All executable offenses, as is bouncing the stick off the ground for some reason before you play.

This thread is brought to you by Instagram's algorithm, which somehow things I'm interested in watching female power lifters flexing (true!), weird hipsters getting dressed like Rita from Arrested Development (false!), some weird old guy named John Beastmode growling and playing air guitar after a few reps on a universal machine (also true!) and drummers twirling their goddamn sticks after every beat! (definitely false).

but bouncing the stick off the floor tom and catching it in the air is still technically drumming right?

I think it's OK if your drum has stuff on it (glitter, milk, lighter fluid) so when you hit it, it looks cool.  But the only reason the stick should leave your hands is if you whip it into the crowd or it breaks.  This is not marching band, folks! It's rock & roll.

For those old heads, this is similar to my disdain for "changing your sweaty shirt" during the encore break.

Pretty sure Clem Burke is a prolific stick spinner, but cut him some slack as he's force do perform behind what i've seen another drummer refer as a Drum Condom.  i.e.  plexiglass shields

Drum Condom
I hate the drum condom

I was chatting with the drummer from the Mighty Might Bosstones (I think, it was AU and I think moby was on the bill)
He was like "if my lead singer actually had some pipes, they wouldn't have to block the sound of my drums over powering his vocals"


was this in the belly up section last year?
