Drummer's Syndrome 

A condition similar to ADHD affecting all drummers who actually love what they do. It causes the drummer to play on any flat surface, vertical or horozontal, which exists within hand reach whenever he or she has at least 1 minute of boredom in band. Often scorned by other band members, conductors, and even other drummers, it is one of the few downsides to being a drummer.

1. Man, Ryan's Drummer's Syndrome is starting to annoy me.
2. Hey, Aaron, your Drummer's Syndrome is messing with our tuning. Mind stopping?

2. a realization you come to after playing the drums for 6 years without missing a day of practice.

3. when you keep track of the days that you practice the drums.

4. when the drums start talking to you.

5. when people start knowing you by "that drummer kid".

6. when you sit in one spot every day all day playing the drums.

7. when instead of playing video games you play the drums and make sound effects.

8. Knowing that therapy isn't gonna help.

9. without the drums you cry or start throwing things.

Drummer's Syndrome 

When drummers and wannabe drummers absolutely cannot stop tapping surfaces or playing drumkits in your practice space, despite the fact that the rest of the band needs to sort something out, you've got a case of Drummer's Syndrome on your hands.

"Goddammit, there he goes again with his Drummer's Syndrome! Stop fucking playing, we need to tune!"

Drummer's Syndrome 

When a drummer loves drumming so much, that he/she will tap on anything whenever and wherever he/she can. Drummer's who suffer from this often use their fingers to tap on inanimate objects - such as chairs, desks, and car seats - or in severe cases of boredom - other people. Friends and teachers are the people most affected by this unfortunate syndrome, due to it's constant intrusion into activities, and due to the fact that the tapping can be hideously, dreadfully, disturbingly, remarkably, and intensely annoying.

1. Dude, stop having Drummer's Syndrome and drumming on the desk. This is history class, not a concert.

2. Matt, if you don't stop having Drummer's Syndrome, I will glue your hands and feet to the table.

Drummer's Face

A term that is given to any musician, no matter the instrument, when they make an unusual, funny, serious or eccentric face when concentrating on playing their instrument. It is entirely subconscious, and therefore uncontrollable until noticed.
It's called "drummer's fac"e as it is more prominent in drummers than anyone else. As extreme loss of body fluids, high temperature, rapid movement and heavy syncopation are the symptoms suffered by drummers generally more-so than other musicians.

Tom was playing a fast 16-beat-groove on his drums. Slowly this became more syncopated. The point arrived when he had unknowingly (for he was lost in the music) played maniacally far over the time of the 3-minute-long song . He gazed up to the audience from his world of smashing shit as fast as humanly fucking possible to present his facemeat. His eyes now complete with red veins and his mouth now open wider than the 12 parsecs that separate the cheeks of Harrison Ford's smile. You could be mistake him for being in labour. You could mistake him for being in pain. But no, Tom was drumming the shit out of that kit. Tom had developed...Drummer's Face. And it was good.

drummer's ear 

Rae Sremmurd backwards. The ear of a drummer, a sign you're living the Sremm Life.

Just got out of the concert, got that drummer's ear from being too close to the speaker.
