In the whole time ive been playing an instrument ive always had trouble finding a drummer who wasnt A:late to every rehearsal, B:So loud you couldt hear anyone else when they finally did start playing or C:a serious drug addict/alco. After discussing this with a few people i was told that these are common traits of many drummers and to just live with it or buy a drum machine. i was also told about the huge list of jokes aimed at our stick waving friends. the couple i can remember are

Q:what do you call someone that hangs out with musicians?
A:a Drummer

Q:How do bands get to park in disabled parking?

A:they leave there drumsticks on the dashboard

Q:whats the difference between a drummer and a drum machine?
A: You only have to punch the information into a drum machine once

If anyone has any other drummer jokes/stories they want to share id be pretty interested in hearing them

Hey Vik,

In defense of drummers, may I just say, "they have no volumn control"!! That's why ALL sound level/checks begins with the foundation of the drum level.

Let it rip!!!

....but they do have control over their volume don't they ? ;) Why do they never play the soundcheck how they intend to play the set ?

I got lucky, we have a great drummer. Our past drummer was a mess. He was 17 years old carried all this high school drama, played loud as sh#$, and he wouldn't shut the h#ll up about his dumb car.

My personal favorite one :)

• How can you tell when a drummer's at the door?
He doesn't know when to come in

Here is the classic:

How do you know a drummer is knocking at your door?

He speeds up and doesn't know when to come in.

You heard about the bass player that locked his keys in the car?








He had to break a window to get the drummer out.

My drummer is completely inclosed at my church with sound proofing...
and he is still loud, but we love him. And we just tell him to let it rip.

And how can you be certain the riser's been set level?

The drummer's drooling equally out of both sides.

How many drummers does it take to change a light bulb?







Five: One to screw the bulb in and four more to talk about how much better Neil Peart could have done it.
