Tim: "bro, you ain't seen nothing til you see Hayden's drummer face. Guy looks ready to shred up a gorilla."

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.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
