The customers below saw that the Purple Flying Fish band was about to leave and were still not satisfied. They had come to Shuishuanshi tonight to enjoy good music.
The character of the Purple Flying Fish band was questionable, but their musical skills were truly impressive, far more captivating to the ears than Hao Yuan's performance earlier.
If they could sing two more songs before leaving, that would be great.
Some customers were even considering leaving Shuishuanshi to go to L’amour bar to enjoy even better music.
It was late at night, and no one had come to Shuishuanshi just to drink coffee and relax; they had come to listen to good music.
Now, seeing a fat uncle suddenly confront the Purple Flying Fish band, the customers who were about to leave were immediately drawn back to their seats, excitedly watching the two groups clash.
Lu Shishi and Hao Yuan were speechless. They had never expected that their carefully prepared Jazz Night would turn into a stage for others to "fight."
At this moment, the two descendants of fallen nobility had no desire to stop the confrontation.
Like their friends, both of them wanted to see if this fat man had the ability to suppress the Purple Flying Fish band. If he could, it would be a great relief for them.
They secretly hoped that this fat man, who had come with Lin Zaishan, who had once amazed them, might also be a professional musician.
Although this fat man's appearance and demeanor seemed to have nothing to do with music, Lin Zaishan's first impression also had nothing to do with music, but his musical talent was astonishing!
Could this fat man also be an extraordinary musician with an unremarkable appearance?
Birds of a feather flock together.
Extraordinary people often have extraordinary people around them.
Seeing the fat man's skillful handling of the drumsticks, it was quite impressive. They hoped his drumming would be as stylish as his handling of the drumsticks.
More than Lu Shishi and Hao Yuan, the waiters who felt humiliated and ashamed were even more eager for Lu Chen to make a scene.
Li Nan and Du Yang, seeing Lu Chen confront Shen Tailong, were secretly cheering for him!
They all hoped that this fat man would give the other side a good beating and show them who they were dealing with!
"Fat man, go for it!"
Li Nan silently cheered for Lu Chen in his heart.
Lu Chen did not disappoint.
Sitting behind the drum set, his massive presence and aura were clearly more impressive than the "little giant" Shen Tailong.
Shen Tailong, sitting behind the drum set, was completely enveloped by it.
Lu Chen, who had almost collapsed the chair, exuded a general-like aura. The drum set couldn't contain him; instead, he seemed to control the drum set.
"Boom-ta-ta, boom-ta... boom-ta-ta, boom-ta..."
Without any unnecessary words, he started with the four toms, playing from four beats to eight beats, accompanied by the hi-hat and bass drum to smooth out the rhythm. From the very beginning, Lu Chen's handling of the drum set had a different aura.
"Pretty average."
Shen Tailong sneered.
Yu Xiran nodded in agreement.
However, Wei Leizhi, the slightly overweight female musician, frowned. She could hear clearly that Lu Chen's drum sound and rhythm were much richer than Shen Tailong's!
Lin Zaishan, listening to Lu Chen's gentle and slow opening, perked up his ears, his eyes brightening. The more he understood music, the more he could appreciate the beauty of Lu Chen's drumming.
After getting used to the drum sound, Lu Chen's hands moved faster and faster. His two fat feet played the hi-hat and bass drum with double bass and fill techniques, which he executed smoothly and effortlessly.
The drum beats became denser, and the rhythm stronger. Everyone could sense that a wave of powerful drumming was about to surge forth.
Shuishuanshi's interior design paid special attention to the acoustics, and although it wasn't a professional performance hall, the acoustics were excellent. Lu Chen's drumming quickly enveloped the entire café like a flood.
The drumming resonated with everyone's hearts, and their heartbeats were synchronized with the increasingly fast and rhythmic drum beats. The elements in their blood were stirred up.
This thrilling and exhilarating feeling surpassed the overall performance of the Purple Flying Fish band!
Lin Zaishan stroked Bepa's soft back, and at this moment, Bepa's back was stiffened by Lu Chen's drumming, whether from fear or excitement.
In any case, Lin Zaishan was thoroughly excited!
This level of drum solo was rare even in his previous life!
Lu Chen's drumming skills far exceeded his expectations!
At the most exciting moments, Lu Chen's face glowed, and sweat dripped from his fat forehead. His drumsticks flew back and forth, and his two fat feet played the double bass and fills with incredible fluidity, making it look like his legs were about to cramp!
It was as if this fat uncle had hundreds of springs in his body, and he was almost unable to sit still on the chair!
The overwhelming drumming was like a mountain collapsing and the earth shaking, powerful and majestic!
The immense aura created by the drumming made everyone in the café feel suffocated!
Their heartbeats couldn't keep up with Lu Chen's intricate drum beats, and everyone was on the verge of jumping out of their seats.
In a daze, Lin Zaishan felt like he was watching the movie "Whiplash." When Lu Chen reached the climax, he seemed to be playing in a frenzy, hitting at least 300 beats per minute without losing the rhythm! The dense drum beats were so intense that they seemed to change the color of the sky and make the earth tremble!
Too damn impressive!
Lin Zaishan was completely high!
In the time since he had come to this world, he had always been the one to make others high, but no one had truly made him high with music on the spot.
Now, Lu Chen's god-like drumming skills made Lin Zaishan's capillaries swell, his pores open, and a hot sweat break out from his boiling blood.
It was as if he was about to jump out of his seat, like he was about to eat a delicious meal!
Sun Yuzhen, beside him, was trembling all over, her beautiful eyes shining, feeling suffocated and exhilarated by Lu Chen's drumming!
Like Sun Yuzhen, almost everyone in the café was high from Lu Chen's performance!
Lu Chen himself was the most high of all!
Once upon a time, he had performed a drum solo in front of tens of thousands of people at Lin Zaishan's concert, a moment that made tens of thousands of people boil with excitement, a memory he would never forget!
Whenever he recalled his youthful highlights, Lu Chen would be filled with excitement!
In recent years, he had often played drums for fun in his spare time, but he could never recapture the excitement of his youth.
His drumming skills had improved by at least three levels since his youth, but he could never find that youthful excitement again.
Today, back with Lin Zaishan, after reminiscing about his youth and life, his rock and roll dream was like a dry land refreshed by a heavy rain, sprouting new branches of spring!
He had finally found the wild and exhilarating feeling of playing rock and roll with Lin Zaishan again!
This feeling made Lu Chen more engaged and excited than anything else!
At the climax, he was almost pushing his limits!
Holding both drumsticks in one hand, his wrist shook like a motor, his body leaning to the side, transferring all his strength to his right wrist. Hitting the drum at nearly a hundred times per second, the drum beats formed a continuous line, almost numbing everyone's ears!
A few minutes ago, Shen Tailong had confidently said that Lu Chen's drumming was average, but now he was completely stunned! He had never seen anyone play drums so incredibly!
Who is this fat man?
Such drumming skills definitely made him a top-notch professional drummer!
There was no one like him in the circle of famous drummers!
Which band was he from?
Yu Xiran and the other three women were also stunned. Who would have thought that this unremarkable fat man would transform into a drumming superhero when he picked up the drumsticks?
This hellish and god-like rhythm was so intense that it made them want to burst out in excitement! He was too strong!
Lu Shishi and Hao Yuan were also stunned by Lu Chen's drumming, their eyes wide open!
They weren't thinking about who this fat man was; they were thinking about who this white-haired Lin uncle was!
Why were the people around him such unremarkable-looking music monsters?
This drumming was too exaggerated!
But even more exaggerated was yet to come!
Completely high, ten minutes of drumming made Lu Chen drenched in sweat, his clothes soaked through, and a large puddle of water on the ground.
It had been too long since he had played drums so enthusiastically. His hands were almost cramping, and his arms were in pain, but in his highly excited state, he didn't even think about the pain.
Slowing down the rhythm a bit, he held both drumsticks in his left hand, and his two fat feet continued to play the rhythm. He used his left hand to play a drum fill.
"Clap, clap, clap—!"
At this moment, the audience, who had been holding back, couldn't contain themselves and spontaneously applauded for Lu Chen.
Lu Chen's drum solo that night opened the eyes of the customers at Shuishuanshi. They had never seen such an impressive drum performance!
Lin Zaishan also enthusiastically applauded for Lu Chen. If he were to re-form a band in the future, this fat man would definitely be the first choice for the drummer!
"Uncle, was your former band, Beyond, made up of monsters? How can they all be so strong!" Sun Yuzhen whispered excitedly to Lin Zaishan.
"This fat man is N times stronger than before. He wasn't this good before."
"Convinced yet?"
Lu Chen, shaking his numb right hand, chin up, asked Shen Tailong aggressively.
Shen Tailong, pale-faced, didn't respond.
"Still not convinced?... Who has a coin, throw it up!"
Someone immediately took out a coin and threw it to Lu Chen.
"Kids, watch this, fat man is going to show you something!"
Buoyed by the alcohol, Lu Chen caught the coin, played a drum fill, then suddenly stood up, facing the wall behind him. With his left hand, he continued to play the snare and hi-hat, and in a quick motion, he pressed the coin against the wall. Then, with his right hand, he used the drumstick to hit the coin on the wall like a mad motor!
Boom!
The entire audience erupted!
Lu Chen actually used the head of his right drumstick to hit the coin on the wall, using lightning-fast speed to nail the coin to the wall without it falling!
Even more terrifying was that his left hand could still play intricate rhythms on the drum set!
This—was simply a superpower!
Drum god!
This fat man was definitely a drum god!
Li Nan, Du Yang, and the other waiters, watching Lu Chen nail the coin to the wall, were so high they were almost crazy!
