i've seriously been thinking about putting a double pedal
underneath my desk at work and a kick practice pad so i can
practice while at my computer...i'm not blesed with a practice
room or a place to set up my kit. so i'm trying to come up
with alternatives...
anyone do anything cool to keep the chops up without a drumset?

I'd do that if I could. At school I just practice heel down. It really helps.

if I'm sitting down for something, I can't help but kick licks...
Real life doesn't work that way, and one day he's gonna pull a stunt like that and they'll put a cap in him. At that point it won't matter that he was fat in high-school and couldn't get laid.

There's no sound from his set, but he's doing everything pretty close to right. I've seen some other vids of him, he's pretty good.

i usually just sit at my computer and tap o the desk with my feet going underneeth
but if you get a practice pad and put your pedal under the desk i see no harm in it

you can always get a pair of these for work. I have them and they're great. Quite, compact, and easy to move/set up.

I work with the public and mostly stand. Lots o stuff to tap on though. I can use my wedding ring for accent. Hit my toe straight down with my leg back on wood floors gives a little punch

WoW, I've never heard of these. I might check them out. $50.00 bucks sounds
reasonable. That's my main thing, I'd like to be able to work out my feet during the
day while I'm stuck at my desk typing up orders. This could be cool, thanks.

His hands are horrible...I wanna beat him up with those sitcks.
are those facial expressions real? Cause I laughed. And I would have pointed if he were in person.
but no bringing a practice pad to work is a great idea.
