Hello Drummers 🥁

It’s been another busy week here at Ravebugs HQ, loads of drum lessons, online work, practicing and recording. Probably just as well that Phill didn’t have any actual gigs this weekend, as he’d have been asleep over the drum kit!

Of course, that’s not something that’s ever happened in real life to Phill (although apparently he did once briefly fall asleep whilst riding a motorbike - eek!), but I think it would be even more unlikely if he ever had to play one of these…

What is this strange set-up? It’s called a Cocktail Drum Kit, and, believe it or not, you have to play it standing up! Not just that, you also have to stand on one leg, so that you can devote the other leg to working the kick pedal. Sounds fun, if a little exhausting!
