Drum podium
Our recently-formed band was to perform for the very first time in a real venue, with a real stage, and best of all a drum podium *gasp*.

The singer decided to use this to improve our stage show so for the opening number he stood on the podium in front of the drums. The MC announced us, the crowd went wild, the guitarist hammered out the first power-chord and our singer leapt off the podium with a huge yell, knocked all the drums over, crashed into the mike stand, stumbled over the foldback speakers and disappeared off-stage into the darkness. As if by magic the collapsing drum kit went "ba-dum tsh".

True
Very sadly, this is completely true. Well, the ba-dum tsh may have been added by retelling, but I'm sure it *should* have happened.

Unfortunately
This occured back in the late '80s, so well before the advent of digital video cams. And we weren't so famous that anyone would bother filming us anyway.
