Tim McClelland playing drums with The Killers in Townsville 2024 - "For Reasons Unknown"

[@tz6414]

I can’t imagine an experience more exhilarating than playing to an arena. Incredible job, playing on a strange kit too.

[@TimMc333]

Thank you! 🙏🏼 I have a fair bit of experience playing on backline kits etc. so it’s just (quickly) adapting and getting on with it 🤘🏼

[@TheSurfer446]

Love when bands do that!!! Good for you Tim!!!

[@TimMc333]

So good hey! Thank you 🤘🏼

[@TheRealFunar]

As a drummer myself, I've always dreamed of being able to do this. So amazing! Awesome job!

[@TimMc333]

Thanks heaps 🤘🏼

[@KennySchneider]

That's so awesome, and you nailed the vamp at the end and everything! That's a night for the history books!

Thank you 😁🤘🏼

I was at this show and as much as I love the Killers, you really stole the show Tim. As a fellow north Queenslander and muso, I can say you really did us all proud. What an amazing opportunity for you, as well as this beautiful city I live in. So proud of what this city is turning into! Also, you should share around that confidence!

[@TimMc333]

Thank you so much! As soon as Brandon & Ronnie picked me out, I just felt a huge wave of relief and from that moment I was as calm and confident as could be! Soaking up the good times 😎

[@JasonHector-v3r]

I can’t believe you had the wherewithal and confidence to record yourself while on the kit! That was the most impressive part to me lol. Congrats sir.

[@TimMc333]

I’ve done it plenty of times before, but I’ll be honest - putting down that stick and grabbing my phone in this situation was a little scarier than usual! But what a moment to preserve 👌🏼

[@RanjitSouri-PinkFloydPiano]

Wow man, you did a great job! So glad that your friends got great video footage of it to post online!

Brilliant playing . 😊 your confidence is amazing and you pulled it off fabulously. Best wishes to you in your drumming career. It's amazing how big bands like this call out members of the audience to play on stage. I saw a video where Foo Fighters did the same thing by calling up a young man to play. Great show , keep rocking 😊

@ You‘re welcome, I witnessed a similar situation at a Limp Bizkit Concert in Hamburg, where a guy from the front row took the stage and played Wes Borlands Gituarpart through one song. The guy obviously had the day of his life, and he really did a great job that day. The great thing is, that anyone in that crowd will remember that for the rest of their lives! So you brought a lot of joy to a lot of people.

[@DeuceClimaxx]

As TM on my last tour, twice I had the pleasure of making 2 kids experience all the better. The first was a 9 year old girl. If she was any further away from the stage I don't think that she would have been on the property. I found her parents and asked what's up? They told me that the venue said that because she wasn't 21 that was the closest that she could be to stage. With a grin I said I'll be right back. My driver was sleeping so he didn't need it, I took his AAA pass and hung it around her neck. I took the high back chair that she was sitting in and dragged it over to monitor world. (sadly we didn't have the room, if we did I would have put her on the stage) The second was a boy who kept trying to get a fist bump but had shy energy. I found his dad and he told me to talk to him as he doesn't believe him. So I gave him a little advise and he got his fist bump. The dad and I were chatting about how kids will often trust the advice of a stranger over that of a trusted source and he tells me that the 9 year old plays the drums. Insert devilish grin... Would he like to play my set in front of all these people? The kid said yeah and got to solo while we took a little break. Afterwards I got all the drummers to take a photo with him. I'm glad to see that someone else is going the extra mile for the fans. 🥰

[@TimMc333]

That’s so cool!

[@AdoptedKiwi-l6q]

You can always tell when Ronnie KNOWS the person on drums can play. He steps away completely and plays guitar.
