Thinking about the recent thread about a horse on the moon, how about a rock band?
I would think that guitar, bass, keys and wind intruments probably wouldn’t be too much trouble.
But drums? Kick drum might be not too different, but gravity probably plays a large part in hitting snare and toms with the sticks, I’d guess?
Any actual drummers care to speculate? (I’m just a lowly bass player)… 
Playing concerts on the moon wasn’t a problem for Prism. But then again, they had a solar-powered laser beam guitar.
I am not a drummer but perhaps you could use weighted drumsticks?
My first thought was, Keith Moon could do this.
It’s already been done.
Drum machine.
It would also solve the issue of a bulky item like drums being economically shipped out of Earth’s gravity well.
Drums may be bulky but they aren’t really heavy for their size.
By more than one band, I see…
I’m not much of a drummer (I own a drum set and I can keep a beat but my drum skills are rather limited), but I don’t see where gravity really has that much of an effect on the sticks. You’re never letting the sticks free-fall. You’re always either hitting something with them or lifting them back up afterwards. Even if you are doing a drum roll you are just recoiling the stick against the drum head. You’re not using gravity for anything.
I think the biggest issue is that when you push down on the kick drum pedal or the hi hat you’re going to push yourself up into the air.
I think it’s an easily solved problem though. You just need a belt of some kind to keep you and the stool attached to the ground while you play.
Now if you tried to get fancy and throw your drum sticks into the air and catch them again (a common trick among drummers), the extra hang time would be rather weird.
A piano or keyboard might have a similar issue. If you push down hard enough on the keys you might push yourself up into the air. Electronic keyboards have a much lighter touch than a piano, but many electronic keyboards are also velocity sensitive so that they can play loud or quiet like a piano. Hitting those harder/faster to make the sound louder is going to require more force.
Again, easily solvable with a belt or with something like a little bar to tuck your feet under to keep you on the ground.
They’d have to take giant steps of course, but otherwise it should be fine.
And the issue of having to have a drummer.
Joking !!
The hi-hat might be an issue because the return stroke is powered by gravity. Would need to be solved either by springs, or just the drummer adapting to the different timing.
What are ticket prices for a concert on the moon I wonder?
I didn’t think of that. My drum kit is electronic (so I don’t annoy the neighbors), which is another way to solve the hi hat issue. It’s just a foot pedal with a spring in it.
An electronic drum kit also folds up so it’s nice and compact for shipping to the moon.
Pretty steep, I imagine, but there’s lots of free parking.
Not any hi-hat I’ve ever seen. The foot holds the hi-hat closed. When the
foot’s up, it’s opened by springs.
Yeah I’m actually wrong about that. It’s been years since I was close to one. Hi-hats are already designed to work just fine in lunar gravity. I really can’t think of any obstacle to having a rock band on the moon.
But do we really need Rock Band on the moon?
A rat done bit my sister Nell
With Rock Band on the moon
Her face and arms began to swell
And Rock Band’s on the moonI can’t pay no doctor bills
But Rock Band’s on the moon
Ten years from now I’ll be payin’ still
While Rock Band’s on the moonThe man just upped my rent last night
Cause Rock Band’s on the moon
No hot water, no toilets, no lights
But Rock Band’s on the moon
It would look really cool, and any drummer who made it to the Moon would practice until they could do it perfectly!
You might even be able to get enough hangtime that you could use more than two sticks, and juggle while playing.
