 Humdrum
i might of posted this before, but i dont think i have.
it turns out when i play drums ( acoustic ) i hum..quite badly apparently ( apparently its sound like a constipated bee being sick ). now usually , due to the nature of the drums u wudnt be able to notice this humming and i havent had any problems. UNTIL , i started play on electric drums in store n ppl wud walk up to me n give me weird luks and stuff. FINALLY on day my chum n i were bashing away on a electric kit , taking it in turns n stuff n i started humming n he pointed it out in an unsublte laffing fit n ever since ive been afraid to go n drum on electric kits in stores.
its a naturally thing that happens but im un aware of it.
does any one else have this problem ?

I actually do this sometimes. Not to the point that I get funny looks but I catch my self here and there. My daughter does the same thing. Apparentely some people do this while concentrating on a task so the "professionals" seem to think. Peace on ya!

I'll hum along with the melody sometimes. Mostly when I'm onstage and my monitors suck.

In simpler drum patterns I hum the part cuz I forget easily...But in places where i know the part then I hum the melodies...  im ashamed to say that I do too...I went to guitar center and i was looked at all funny...well it gave people a fun video opt...
