A guy wanted to play bass in a band. The band told him, "Okay, but you will  have to have 1/3 of your brain removed." So the guy went into surgery. When he  woke up, the doctor said, "I'm terribly sorry, but we made a mistake and  accidentally removed 3/4's of your brain instead. You're now a drummer".



A man goes to a pacific island for vacation. As the boat nears, he notices the  constant sound of drumming. As he gets off the boat, he asks a native how long  the drumming will go on. The native casts about nervously and says "very bad  when drumming stops."
 Later that day, the drumming is still going and it is really starting to get to him. So,  he asks another native when the drumming will stop. The native looks as if he's  just been spooked. "Very bad when drumming stops," he says, and hurries off.

After a couple of days with little sleep, the man had had enough. He grabbed the  first native he saw, slammed him up against a tree, and shouted, "What happens  when the drumming stops?!"

The native replied, "Bass solo."


St. Peter was checking ID's at the pearly gates. He asks the first man, "What did  you do on Earth?" The man replied, "I was a doctor." St. Peter says, "OK, go  right through those two shiny gates to your left.

 "Next person! What did you do on Earth?" , "I was a school teacher."
 "OK, ..through those two gates and to the left.

 "Next! ..And what did you do on Earth?" . "Oh, I was a musician."
 "All right, go around to the back door, up the freight elevator, through the kitchen  and..."


A customer walks into the brand new store downtown that sells brains. There  are three glass cases, each containing a nice wet quivering gray brain. The first one  says "SCIENTIST", and it costs $100. The second says "ELECTRICIAN" and  costs $1000. The third says "DRUMMER" and costs $10,000. The customer is  confused, and questions the salesperson.
 "I don't get it...why would I want a drummer's brain for $10,000 when I can get  an scientist's brain for $100?".

 The salesman replied, "Because, it's never been used."


Two cowboys were waiting in their bunkers for the Indians to attack. They  listened to the distant pounding war drums.
 One cowboy muttered to the other, "I don't like the sound of them drums."
 Just then, an Indian voice came over the hill, "It's not our usual drummer!"

Learn an instrument and then tell me that.

I can play a Choctaw Flute. Does that make me a musician?

Huh, I can play the piano, steel drums, and oboe...

Colin, YOU are a music joke.

Contra-Bass Saxophone.

You're on.

As, was the fact that I play the Contra-Bass Sax, I do play the Baritone Sax though.

The trick isn't playing it, the trick is having the immediate air support, If I gave you a month I sure you could play it.

Touche.

I would think that I could pick it up just as fast because of the fact that I actually do play saxophone....

You know what they say, those who cannot do teach. those who cannot teach play drums.

I guarantee anyone on the boards that I can play any instrument better than they can.

And I guarantee anyone on the boards that they cannot beat me in a head-to-head match of Tetris at spogg.com

What exactly is the purpose of these statements of bragging?

What do you call a person who hangs out with musicians?

Ooh! I know this one... umm, oh yeah! An indie guitarist?

lol this thread is funny

No, that'd be a drummer.

...To think that someone would think that only guitarists on a major label are good.

Haha, I'm just messing dude. I only said it because I know the real joke And I'll take you on with your instrument challenge. Drum off, right now. Lets see... I only have one video of me doing any drum tracking, so it will have to suffice.

There you go, cover it. By the way, thats a reeeaaly easy song to play. I wrote a pretty minimalistic drum part. I've been a death metaller for quite some time now.

I actually didn't use the live audio track, I used the original audio, which is sampled. I don't have an interface, so recording for a song is out of the question now

And thats a pretty decent drum part to learn. 7/4 is a fun sig to play after you get the feel.

Hmm, and as far as a harder song to play... here's one I just picked up. Can't keep the whole thing clean yet, but whatever. Those triplets are hard to play with the slow hand part.

ok, anybody else think that all blonde jokes should become drummer jokes?

What did the drummer get on his SAT?

Drool.


By the way, I've been a drummer for most of my life as well.
