Why, you ask?
As a drummer it's interesting to note that drumming is like dancing sitting down.
I've mostly been sitting down playing the bass too, sitting in a nice executive chair.
I've even thot of taking it onstage if I ever get good enuf to go onstage. heh
Has a bassplayer ever done that?
B.B. King sits thru most of his shows now.
OTOH~ I figure I should stand up like most performers other than drummers.
I reckon I oughta get so into it I dance if I wanna make others dance.
Saw a young band recently & the bassplayer was sproingin' around like he had a built in pogo stick.
He looked ridiculous but still...
It made me wonder if I could do that or if anyone good has done that.
Chuck Berry sure was cooool doin' his signature Duckwalk.
ZZTop! Good call, Kenny. Synchronized dancing is pretty cool even if it's casual.
I'm wondering how radical a bassplayer could get dancin' & keep playing well.
Saw a great reggae band awhile back with a big black cat on bass who spun around & jumped up on the drum riser then froze as the music came to an abrupt halt.
Then he jumped off the riser as they continued the song, it was AWESOME!
