Drums are BAD. Don't use drums.
Cartunedude posted this at Stupid Club:
My dad recently purchased a drum stool, and with it came a warning label with
some really STUPID advice! Take a look:
Do not use the equipment for any purpose other than performance.
-The individual drums, as well as the stands and other accessories, contain many
metal parts. The stands are particularly heavy, and can be dangerous if used for
anything other than the intended purpose.
Playing around the drum set can be dangerous.
-There are a lot of stands set up around the drum set. Children playing near the
equipment run the risk of running in to the stands and injuring their heads, or
other parts of their bodies, or tripping and falling. Be careful not to let
children play around the drum set.
Stay away from the drum set if an earthquake occurs.
-A strong vibration such as an earthquake can cause the drum set to shift or
fall over. If an earthquake should occur, be sure to stay well clear of the drum
set.
Never use sticks for anything other than playing the drums.
-Sticks and wire brushes are intended for playing the drums. Never hit people
with them or throw them at people. This can be extremely dangerous.
Be careful of broken sticks.
-Sticks made of wood. If they break while playing, fragments and splinters can
go flying, possibly even causing injury.
Be careful not to bother others.
-Playing the drum set produces a lot of loud sounds and vibration. Be careful to
arrange practice times so as not to bother others nearby.
Be careful of oil on screws and bolts.
-The screws in the main unit and the stands are lubricated with grease. When
transporting or setting up the equipment, be careful not to get grease on your
clothing.
Watch out for rust and deterioration of metal parts.
-Metal Parts become rusty and scratched through use. Scour rusty parts to remove
the rust, being careful not to injure your hands. Also, avoid stepping on the
drum and stand pedals with bare feet.
Always support the upper section when adjusting tom holders and stands.
-When adjusting the heights and angles of toms and cymbals, loosening screws too
quickly can cause drums and cymbals to fall, so that there is a danger of your
fingers getting caught or pinched. Support the tom-tom and tilter carefully with
one hand when loosening screws, and loosen them slowly and carefully.
Be careful when folding up the tripods.
-When storing the tripods of stands and other equipment, be careful not to let
your fingers get caught or pinched.
Do not put fingers or other objects in to pipes.
-When removing pipes for storage or when setting up the equipment, your fingers
could be injured if you put them in to the pipes. Never put your fingers in to
pipes unless absolutely necessary, and be extremely careful.
Be careful of the protecting parts of stands.
-Stands have a lot of protruding parts such as screws and boom arms. When
setting up the equipment, be careful not to bump these protecting parts with
your face or head, to avoid injury.
Never stand on the drum chair or use it as a stepping stool.
-Standing on the drum chair or using it as a stepping stool could cause it to
fall over or break. Never use the drum chair for anything other than its
designated purpose, which is for sitting while playing.
Do not sit on the drum seat while adjusting its height.
-Adjusting the height of the drum seat while sitting on it can cause accidents
such as pinched fingers or the seat dropping suddenly, causing back injuries.
When adjusting the height, always stand up from the seat.
Be careful of snappy wires suddenly giving way.
-The snappy wires (resonating wires) on the back of the snare drum are
consumable items and wear out over time. If a wire comes loose at one end and is
left hanging, it can prick your fingers or snap in to your eye when you are
moving or setting up the equipment. Use
nippers or another tool to cut off protruding wires, and replace them with new
ones as quickly as possible.
This safety notice brought to you by TAMA. Note: Jon "Bermuda"
Schwartz said that he has broken at least 4 of these IMPORTANT safety warnings!
No one is safe from Jon. :) | |
