    SPEED BAG/ Punch Drumming on TV!

    I got asked to be the first drummer to play on VH1-Classics "That Metal Show".
    Host Eddie Trunk is a long time NJ friend. Don Jameison and Jim Florentine also host.
    So while this was going on, I also got a message from Balazs boxing that they had seen my punch drumming vids and were interested in working with me. I told them of the idea I had of getting the speed bag on the drum kit and doing it on TV. Balazs was very interested and constructed a 275 lb. speed bag stand that is super sturdy and is low enough for me to punch while sitting down at the kit...
    We tape this Sunday. I play the drums for little clips of about 15 seconds taking the show into commercials...
    Should be cool.... only thing is ... I am playing with my band S.U.N. in Vegas tonight (on guitar... vid attached) at midnight and have a 7:30 am flight to get back to get into all this.... so sleep will have to wait for another day!!!
    The picture was sent to me from my bud Eric Castle who set up the stand and got it and my drums down to the studio as I am out on a mini tour with my band....
    Anyhow.... I don't think this has been done before and hope it turns people on to the speed bag!!!
    BAG ON!!!

    This is going to be EPIC, BT, and I'm thrilled for you to be able to do this. You will take Drumming and Baggin' to new heights and within a year I predict other drummers will be trying it also.

    Good luck and bag on!

    ps: hope you can make it to Austin Oct 31-November 3 for the PASIC convention. This would be an awesome Demo for their Expo.

      Cool!

      I've seen That Metal Show a few times, Good Show.

      That's a Damn Nice Kit. What snare is that? I've been getting into the drums the last 6 months, as of now all i have is a pair of vic firth 5A, but i'm way into it.

      I have wanted to start drums back in '86, but guitar was cheaper. hehe I have been scouring the internet listening to every kit and snare i can find footage of.

      Bag on!

                Set the DVR to spinsmashpop!

                Congrats Brian! I can't wait to see your drum skills in action both on the set and the speed bag drum. That Balaz set up looks incredibly beefy. I'm going to set the DVR now, even though I won't miss the first airing, but I want to have the first punch drumming performance ever on T.V. locked in, so I can re-view it and show it to my friends and family also. This will be great for the Speed Bagging / Punch Drumming Realm!!!

                Oh, Nomad kicks butt my friend!!!!

                Keep on Punch Drumming

                  Just one more link...

                  Hey, Alan, you forgot to post Brian's Wikipedia page. There's even mention of his speed bagging abilities. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Tichy BTW, your Briantichy.com home website is very sharp, spins.


                  I'm disappointed that I won't be able to view this show. Apparently, I don't have VH1 in my DirecTV package. So I'll poke around on the 'net to see if I can find the segment on YouTube or Hulu...

                  Congrats Brian!

                      Just saw the first appearance of "That Metal Show" with BT drumming and rippin' the speed bag. AWESOME! The post past episodes here. Look for the April 7 show soon.

                          Tichy Show e'nuff punch drumming on That Metal show

                          Excellent Job mixing in the punch drumming while ripping it up on the drums Brian! The Hosts and Ironically, the Shock Rock Star Alice Cooper, seemed to be in shock when you did your thang on the Drums while punch drumming at the same time with one hand. Jack Russel Later in the show seemed amazed as well! BTW I felt an Electrifying surge when they intro'd you at the start of the show! Great Gig Man!

                          Great Plug for the Realm of Speed Bagging and Punch Drumming! You Make us Proud!!!

                          Balaz worked some magic with the set up too!
