I don't know if this has already been posted but it gave me a laugh and I thought I would share it. Here's the first one to get you in the mood:

I like the drummer quote:


Not to mention that the drummer jokes write themselves. How do you know the stage is level? The drummer is drooling out of both sides of his mouth. How to find a new drummer? Wait for the pizza delivery guy to show up and ask him if he'll audition.

I just sent that quote to our drummer, he was chuffed at the last rehearsal when he arrived with a huge 4th cymbal. He did not take kindly to me suggesting he played the other 3 well first, instead of just louder!

What's he doing with four bloody cymbals, anyway? Ours has two and that seems quite enough as it is!

Because he thinks he is Roger Taylor/John Bonham/ Keith Moon/Tommy Lee and therefore more is better and louder. It is a bit like me turning up with a 7 string bass. Totally unnecessary and I'm quite happy with 4 thank you, but to some it looks cooler.
