Justin Bieber's Impromptu Drum Solo Raises Eyebrows

Justin Bieber indulged in an impromptu drum solo during rehearsals for the MTV Video Music Awards, and in doing so raised the eyebrows of band members who were in temporary possession of the drum kit.

According to ThyBlackMan.com, the band that was rehearsing--Cobra Starship--took a break during pre-VMA rehearsals. While on break, the Biebs hopped onto the drums and let rip a pretty darn impressive drum solo. The band members, who had rented the drum kit for the event, had a few things to say about it.

"I heard about that, that Justin Bieber was playing our kit," Cobra bassist Alex Suarez said.

"It's a rental," drummer Nate Novarro felt it vital to interject.

Of course neither Suarez nor Novarro said whether or not they were okay with Bieber hijacking their drums and taking them for a little ride. Are they afraid they'll stir up something that could push their band into an unfavorable spotlight?

Novarro hinted at this, but kept his answer fairly lighthearted when he was asked.

"Kind of, but [ Justin Bieber ] could beat me up, so I can't approach him and say anything," Novarro said.

Of course, Justin would never beat anyone up over something like that. The kid is as harmless as harmless can be. It wasn't the first time he had borrowed Cobra Starship's drum kit, however. In fact it was back in 2009 at the Jingle Ball, held in Sacramento, when the Biebs hijacked the drums on stage. Okay, he didn't really hijack them that time. Instead he was challenged to a dance-off by the band's front man Gabe Saporta. Since Justin was recovering from a broken foot at the time, he certainly couldn't dance. But he could still play the drums, and wanted to be sure that the band members knew it. Nate Novarro says he likely made the mistake that gave Bieber full reign over the band's drums--possibly for life.

"He showed me what he could do, and it was good, so I was like, 'You can come back and do it whenever you want,' " he said. "I think he just took full advantage of that."

So no harm was done when Justin Bieber showed off his drumming skills using Cobra Starship's rented drum kit. Should other bands beware when the Biebs is around? Are they safe leaving their drums unsupervised when they go on break?

That remains to be seen. What doesn't, however, is that Justin Bieber is definitely multi-talented and isn't afraid to let loose and enjoy a little music--even during his down time. Justin wasn't even performing for the VMAs. He was only there to support his girlfriend Selena Gomez, and to hopefully receive the award for which he was nominated.

And yes, he did win the VMA.
