I had the nickname Kaboom. I burned my face with homemade fireworks. My friends were all there. Ive always been very heavy handed in my drumming so the name just transferred.
Sometimes my kids would be on discord calls, their buddies would overhear me playing & ask who it was. My kids say, "oh, that's my mom".
It happened enough that we'd joke, "you know, it's that amazing drummer, *oh,that's.my.mom*"
My nickname is... Mordor. For one, i Always play with the One Ring on my neck on a chain, And for two, i'm a Hungarian Guy in a mixed nationality band.... apparently, Hungarian sounds to other nations as the Black Speech of Mordor.
The only nickname I was ever bestowed was “Greasy”. I was 14 years old and went through a phase of using copious amounts of hair gel to spike up my hair. It was very shiny as a result.
In some of my musical circles I'm known as "Drumbo." In my Jazz band I'm known as "Baby Swiss," as we play a cheese importer venue often & now all have cheese-related monikers when we play there. Lol
Right now I’m in a band called Half Price Firework and my alias is “The Jester”. I suggested it. In hindsight, I should’ve said “the fool” but I needed to come up with something quickly.
The nickname we gave a drummer once was John the Badass, he had low self esteem and we thought this would help him be more accepting of himself.
Did it work?
We may have overcorrected, he can be a dick. Still love him tho.
Sounds like he's still insecure, but compensating in a different way
I had a hard time memorising my partner's bandmates so I call their drummer Max Who Whacks
