Nicko Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 .... well, do you?? Generally I don't and people find it strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Not really. We don't do foot-tapping music. A bit of head-nodding, perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamdenRob Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I throw the odd foot tap into my extensive catalogue of subtle on stage dance moves... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seashell Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I think I do. Only it's more of a heel tapping really. I also do a lot of hair tossing (didn't realise that until I saw a recent vid of me playing live!) Stand by for some 'tossing' jokes from discreet......

FuNkShUi Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Im more of head nodder too. The other band members call it "hen pecking" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameronj279 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I'm more of a head nod/"hen pecker". I tend to tap my foot only when it's really coming upto sections where I'm playing solo or without drums so there's only maybe 3/4 parts in the current set where I foot tap. I have noticed that I seem to walk a step back and then forward again quite regularly...no clue why though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahpook Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) It used to be that if I [i]tried[/i] to tap my foot I'd go out of time...but if I don't it kind of happens, but not all the time. Edited April 2, 2015 by ahpook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle psychosis Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I pretty much always tap my feet. It really helps me keep time. Flute is my first instrument and so head nodding was never really an option! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad3353 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 My right foot generally taps out the backbeat, while the left is synchro with the kick. Nothing too untoward, though, as I'm the drummer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CamdenRob Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) The guitarist in a recently deceased project was a perennial foot tapper but always out of time... I only noticed it when I was looking at his feet during a section without drums at a poorly monitored gig as a guide to staying in time... useless.

Shambo Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I've noticed my foot tapping involuntarily recently. I wonder where the noise is coming from, look down, and it's my right foot spasming with the music. A bit like when a dogs leg moves when you scratch it's sweet spot on their back. I want a foot pedal cabasa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesBass Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Not much of a foot tapper, but I do get my head and shoulders going, my guitarist thinks I'm trying to give him a cue half the time and is trying to train me to stop the head bobs, especially the heavy ones on pushes etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myke Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I tap my foot all the time. What ever type of music and even along to music that's in my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
