Future Drumstick Lawsuit???

[SparrowHawke]

I was sitting there banging on my drums this week and one of them flew out of my hand!!!! I can't believe that wrist straps weren't included and warnings weren't printed on them in giant red letters. I propose that all new drum kits come with wrist straps and super glue so that players won't have broken TVs and windows. This is an outrage and I demand a resolution!!!

Let's just hope the flying drumsticks don't actually happen to a Wii owner when/if that version comes out...sheesh...can you imagine?

LAWLZ, I sure hope not.

I can just imagine wrist straps and rubber gloves for the drum sticks in response to the issues of people throwing them...

lol, last year when i had 3 roommates one of them ended up shattering a glass and chipping my other roommate's bong with an overly aggressive bowling motion. I laughed.

HAHAHA.

The only sad part is, given our societie's propensity to file frivolous lawsuits, it'll probably happen. Sadder still is the fact that said person will probably win.

The design of the rockband drums didnt have much thought to it anyways its pretty poor, I was talking to a guy at my local drum store about dampening the sound and he had played rockband and was telling me that the design of the drums is basically like when they first introduced electronic drums and wound up redesigning them because of carpel tunnel problems from people playing them as he said "you would have thought that they would have researched them a little better"

Dude, I am not all for these class actions suit being thrown around everywhere. But, if I get friggin' carpal tunnel from this game you'd better bet somebody is gonna pay me.

come to think of it HMX is asking kids to play with relatively pointy sticks. lol I can't beileve that was actually plausible in my mind for even one second.

[logicalnoise]

truthfully I;ve been thinking about rigging up some foam handles. My hands can get really cramped if I'm not absolutley wrapping my fingers around the drumstick. Especially on songs with fast hi-hat beats.

Not sure what to use maybe some foam bicycle handles with sections cut out to match the circumfrence of my vic firths. plus I'm buying some zildijan anti-vibe sticks this weekend to test.

Now I would like to address this Drumstick strap issue. Now this all reminds me of a humorous story of a travelling salesman. Let's say that the taxpayer is a farmer, and the government is a salesman. Well, the farmer says "You can spend the night in my barn, but do me a favor and don't stick your willy into any of the three holes in the wall." Well in this case, the salesman's willy represents the taxpayer's money, you understand. Well, the government, like the salesman, can't help himself. Sticks his willy in the first hole, it feels good. Sticks his willy in the second hole, it feels even better. Sticks his willy in the third hole and it hurts like hell and it won't let go! Well in the morning the farmer comes out and he explains: "Behind the first hole was my wife, behind the second hole was my daughter, and behind the third hole was a milking machine that don't let go 'till it gets 50 GALLONS!" HAHAHAHA! Gentlemen, I propose that this Drumstick strap issue is like a milking machine, and unless we shut it down it's gonna rip our dicks right off!


yes...yes that's correct
We miss you Mr. Show!

Since HMX obviously rushed the game and missed this crucial component, I'm going to develop some prototype wrist straps. They should be on ebay in a few days. I figure they will cost around $90-125 to manufacture. I'll let you guys know when they are ready.

Made from high quality Malaysian shoe laces?

Once the straps come along I'll be ready for my lawsuit in which I seek compensatory damages for my having to support illegitimate children which are the direct result of hot women throwing themselves at me due to my amazing shredding and killer vocal performances.

They ought to put a warning label on that box!

"Yer honor... I seek compensation for my monthly prophylactic stash and STD check-up expenses, as well as 24 hour day care for the children left on my doorstep while I'm away on tour [making more illegitimate kids]."

So... drumsticks without wrist straps... waaaah.

It's all about the ninja-style drumsticks at Best Buy for the demos. Nunchuku drumsticks!!

Now THERE'S a lawsuit.
