I figure I must be good at air guitar cuz I have one. Drums too! ! Am an excellent air drummer!. Air bass well I have found it takes special people to play both air and regular bass
 
Here's a photo of all my air instruments! 
 





Your air drums are okay (mine are nicer), and your air bass is "meh", but I absolutely love the color of your air guitar. Gorgeous!

I grabbed one of these, but had to take it back.  (Wrong color.)

Heh Heh. Pedro tapped that.




What's weird, is that one time, when I was living with Tom and Dave (brothers) his incredible Ludwig setup (Tom's) modeled after the Palmer setup, was a really cool place to sit and fiddle. And one day Tom was working on a new song, something about she's in love but not with him, and I was tapping away, and a part of what I did in the fooling around, ended up in the song. I think the suggestion and idea, clarified the bridge for his song, which was a quieter part.
 
I was able to always do that when directing on the stage as well ... I was always very good at blending the moments and very clean at the transitions, by smoothing them, when they needed to, and blasting them (music, lights and sounds), when they did not need to. All in all, it ended up making things "full", instead of it having empty spaces, which are always deadly on the stage and in a rock band ... the one thing that almost no one knows how to work with. The only drummer I have ever heard that could was Jaki Liebezeit (The Can) in his transitions in the albums "Future Days" and "Soon Over Babbalooma". The other drummer that is excellent on quiet transitions is Steve Gadd. Check him out on Kate Bush's magnificent "50 Words for Snow".

I can so relate!  Personally though, I prefer eating junk food and scratching my private areas when I think no one is watching.

hi,
 
excellent table drummer here.
but it`s been done better by a little known band that none of yous have ever heard of,except me,so if you haven`t heard them like I have you shouldn`t be commenting in this thread unless you can actually play an air instrument,like me.
unless of course you are talking miming which is a different story from an actors or directors point of view but as you are only musicians you wouldn`t understand,of course especially as music is just an accompaniment for theatre anyway and the best riffs were all used in the 70`s?.
just sayin,
