Panic At The Disco Invites Fan Onstage to Play Drums in Australia

Panic! At The Disco has brought their Pray For The Wicked tour down under and are busy playing in Australia and New Zealand. During a show Tuesday night (October 9) in Adelaide, Australia, the band made one fan's dreams come true.
A young man named Eric Zulic in the front row was holding up a sign that read "Can I Please Drum For Sins?" The percussionist even brought his own pair of drum sticks. Singer Brendon Urie spotted the ambitious fan in the crowd and pulled him onstage to play through a chorus of their seminal hit "I Write Sins Not Tragedies," and he totally nailed it.
"I hate to say it, but Dan you're out," Brendon joked to his touring drummer Dan Pawlovich after Eric's shockingly solid performance. "Dude, that was so badass," the frontman gushed. "Another round of applause."
Both P!ATD and Eric documented the experience on social media, and some of the young drummer's friends caught the whole thing on video. Check out the posts below.
