At one point he was playing a drum solo, and he got up from his kit and was drumming on random objects on the stage, microphone stands, etc. He slowly worked his way off the stage and, maintaining his "drum" solo the whole time, he wandered off and disappeared into the woods.

He continued, drumming on trees and rocks, etc. The audience was completely silent, on the edge of their seats. Slowly, he faded out of earshot. You couldn't hear him drumming anymore, and the audience was just sitting there, thinking "Did he fall off the cliff?!"

After a long pause, of total silence, the audience completely captivated by what was happening, he called out, from far, far away...



"I'm done!"
