@indiie LMFAO...it's funny u mention that. I was going to 12 hr band camp rehearsals over the summer. Once it was raining and they made the bad decision to keep us under an open shelter during an electric storm. Lightning strike hit a tree about 900 ft away...we got a massive shock and our heads hurt. The noise was like a cannon in ur ear and i being on snare got a shock from my snare harness that made me jump.
