robyn - In the 60's/70's I played a lot of clubs in and around NYC. The first few times I played on house/back-line kits, I used to wonder about the dried blood stains that always seemed to be on the drums no matter where I was playing. I soon got my answer when I busted a knuckle open on a floor tom hoop in the middle of a number and I couldn't stop playing to tend to the wound.
Blood splatters everywhere. Mystery of the ubiquitous blood stains solved!
Now that you've bled for your art... you are indeed a real drummer.
Stay wiggly...

I'm not kidding, some of those old back-line kits looked like somebody from a Voo-Doo cult was sacrificing chickens back there! Dried blood spatters everywhere. Nasty...

Yes, it is true. A woodshop teacher isn't worth anything unless he is missing at least 1/2 of one finger!

Nothing like a little blood, sweat and tears. I recall playing a club one night and I had a 16" thin crash on my left. I played a crash on it with my right hand, did a quick choke with my left and continued around the kit with my right. Much to my surprise, the edge of the 16" went right under my left thumbnai about a third of the way. Lots of blood. Switched to traditional grip for the rest of the back beats for that night.
That will bring a tear to a glass eye.

Ha!
Congratulations....you've made it.
Wait 'till you graze a knuckle on a cymbal rivet!
That mess all starts with a very innocent "Why is my hand sticky?" mid song.
Speaking of knuckles, I still have a bone chip floating around in the ring finger of my right hand. THAT hurt so much I thought I was going to pass out.
It's been there for years, and I can use it to predict the weather.
Although, I'm so wimpy, if I think about it for too long, it makes me feel sick.
