This Drum Roll Has a Nice Ring to It

by

Last week, I introduced the Francis Fall ’09 collection with a drum roll of sorts. Gorgeous ex-blogger ENC took pity on me and emailed me to say that her husband, a professional drummer, would kindly do some drum roll videos for me so that I would be able to announce things with the appropriate fanfare in the future.

The ENC family sent me three videos: one short drum roll, one long and spectacular drum roll and one that features highlariously obvious product placement of the WendyB skull ring worn by MrENC. Of course, I’m going to share the one with the product placement.

If you’d like your own skull ring, you can get it through my website here.

As for me, I’d like my own confetti cannon. I love confetti. I think every time I walk into a party/restaurant/bar/your home/Christian Francis Roth‘s studio, I should be introduced by a drum roll. Then, when I go, I’ll scream, “Thank you! You’ve been a great audience!”, bow and leave amid a shower of confetti. What do you think? Good idea?

  2. Drum roll!!! The ring, the drum and the announcement of the fall collection all make perfect music together. I am off to see if I can download a drum roll to my phone so when I see you I can give you the appropriate fanfare.

  5. Everyone should have a drum roll and confetti to make an everyday a special occasion….

    P.S. I adore confetti as well 🙂

  8. Nice work (the ring, and the drumming).
    If I ever tried to make jewelry, I would need a ‘rimshot’ instead of drum roll.

  11. I think confetti should rain down on you everywhere you go, Miss WendyB!

    My hubbo enjoyed doing that drumroll just for you!

  12. ha! i love it!! yes, i second you on the drumroll-and-confetti entrance idea. there’s something very magically silly about confetti… 😀

  15. Love it! Don’t think I’ve ever seen a drum roll up close before!

    Yoko Ono really? Must’ve been a fun dream!

  16. HAH! Leave it to enc – that video is utterly awesome, as is your skull ring.

    And I think the drum roll entrance/confetti exit should become your signature.

  20. I think that sounds like a stellar plan. I would like a downpour of confetti when I change a dirty diaper. Since that occurs umpteen times a day I would feel special all the time. Ah ha. Oh, and a drummer hubs? HOT!

  21. Teehee product placement drumrolls–nice! Augh your post just reminded me–I THINK I’m closer to deciding on what I want from the fall collection. I’ll email you and we can discuss it offline. 🙂

  31. Oh – just excellent! Mr. OM is fab. Looks so hawt in his ring with his bad boy drum kit! The best product placement in ages…

  34. Oooh, I like this. Have you ever considered being shot out of a cannon? That could be fun. And a cape with Wendy B bedazzled on the back as you fly through the air. That could also be a nice touch…

  38. Totally loving the ‘product placement’ insert – WendyB is a marketing queen.

    And yes, you deserve a confetti cannon.

    btw – KT’s comment is hilarious 😉

    XOXO

  43. ive always wondered what it would be like to have my own personal MC that introduces me in a “movie trailor announcer” voice. if i ever get one, ill let u borrow him for a day:)

  45. Loved the ring. I’m with you on the confetti. I think confetti has the ability to make any situation seem like an awesome party.

  49. It’s a good thing that I don’t have your kick ass skull ring. If I put one of those on, I’d think that I was a total badass. I’d end up putting four of those rings on each hand, thinking that jewelry could double as a pair of brass knuckles. In the end, I’d be killed in a bar fight since I’d forget that I’m really not that bad ass.

    Also it’s a good thing I don’t have a confetti canon. I’d use it everyday to scare the cats.
