Playing the Spoons questionably.

A few days ago my friend and I started making jokes about forming a ridiculous band, when it came to the question of what I'd play we came to the spoons and at first, this was just a fun joke to tell people, then on one rather drunken night, Sam turned around and said "this is our chief spoon player! Play the spoons..."

We all knew it be horrific and I'd make sounds that kill cats.

However after I figured out the easiest way to make a noise with two spoons and your hand I played a chunk of low rider, the verse, which is a desperately easy song to remember because it's somehow been connected with me.

Sam turned round open mouth and went "That, that's F**king Lowrider! Epic"

Turns out spoons are easy to play...

Step 1: Picking Spoons

Your choice of spoon will pretty much determine how badly this will go, I warn you of that now.

The easiest kind of spoon to work with is probably a table spoon, though girls may be better with tea spoons because their hands are smaller, I honestly know very little about playing spoons.

It should have a flat handle, because they need to sit kind of together and round ones don't work well, also no plastic at all, I don't know why but if you're using spoons as an instrument then you'll need to have metal all the way, obviously you need to have a metal spoon bit, but no plastic handles either.

The spoons shouldn't be too heavy either, mainly because when they are it's hard to keep a fast beat right, also I wouldn't go near the silverware, it'd get flat spots on the back, be heavy and not sound as nice...

Then again, I just picked two spoons out of the dish rack, while under the influence, so take my advice as it is. Questionable.
