Playing with the butt ends of the sticks?!?! … and what’s with the bicycle horn, are you doing a vaudeville act?

Well, you know... its hard to do two things at once. I mean... I have to hit the beat... then throw the sticks in the air, jump up, grab the camera, click the shutter, be back in the seat and catch the sticks before the next beat and before the shutter finishes clicking. Its not as easy as it looks you know. So I caught the sticks backward. I still hit the beat and got the shot. The horn is for hecklers.

I hope that horn is LOUD!  Got to keep them hecklers at bay!  What if they throw things?  

In all seriousness, I am the photographer, not the drummer. Why he holds his sticks the way he does, I do not know. You can ask him yourself. He was however very good, and was flawless the entire set.

It was OK Rim, there was only the one person in the audience and he was in a straight jacket.

That was funny!

hhrrrmpphh... I was being serious.

Those photos are really, really good. Some details about the camera and lenses would be interesting to us would-be photographers.

I agree.
 
They are technically very good Shad, especially the close-up stuff. You've got plenty of depth of field in there, did you up the ISO or use a tripod?
 
Incidentally, I love close up/macro photography a lot, so I recently got myself a set of extension tubes and a ring flash to use on my EOS to get in really close. Haven't had much chance to use it all yet, but you may have inspired me
