73. you try to explain your thoughts with the words, "bum-ba-duh-duh-bat-buh-duh-dat"

73. You think the audience and band would be bothered if you ever shut up, ever.

74. your kit costs more than the van you lug it aorund in

*fills bags of lol*

You guys are coming out with some funny shit XD and Jarry's is just too fucking true XD

Keep em coming, if you can.

Whatever number is next: When you are laid back and relaxed off the drum kit, and when you're on a kit you go completely opposite.

75. In all truth and honesty you couldn't give a fuck about what anyone else is playing, cos your the drummer and the drummer makes the band.

76. You're glad you have ADHD.

73.) You're told to play softer, but to keep the same flaming intense beat.

74.) You're told numerous times that you need to stop playing when people are talking.

75.) If you tend not to wear ear protection, you thought the stage crew told you that 'you need to get a cage' instead of 'you need to get on stage'.

Change that to 77, 78, and 79...

80. you either have the most boring name in the band (john smith) or the most outragous (Ringo 'i'm thomas the tank engine' Starr)

That is pretty true. (Andrew George) :(

81. Guaranteed, you're never ever happy with the sound of your drums. Half the rehearsal time will be spent with you infront of you kit holding a drum key.

82. Triggers? Get fucked. No, I don't care that my drums sound like shit. FUCK OFF PHIL, I'M NOT TRIGGERING MY DRUMS.

83. you don't know who nicko mcbrain is even though he's better than you.

84. when knocking on someone's door no longer becomes a simple 'two or three-knock' affair.

85. when you're sleeping without blankets because you needed them to mute your bass drum(s).

86. when you use broken drum sticks to mix paint.

Nobody gets it: If you're still in time, you should be able to throw in whatever you want in between snare beats.

Funny, I don't know who he is.

And I suck at drums anyways, so he is doubtlessly better than me.

Go figure.

You've got to be joking me... If you're a drummer..and don't like the bass player..your band = suck. Bassist and drummers just flow together, come on; you know that. If you can get a sick lick on a bass to work the neck with the kick drum and the hi-hat, then instantly you fall into a groove pocket. Almost every bass player I know, including myself, say that if they didn't play bass, they'd play drums. And vice versa. It's how it is my friend, it's how it is..

87. you always hit the snare late and insist that it is right where it belongs

89: You seem to think you have a solo in 'stairway to heaven

Hey, I KNOW that I do.

Ah crap, that is SO true for me. I make up a snare solo on the spot and start with it on the door.

90.) They tell you, "Don't unleash the fury, keep it simple and clean!" and what do you do? You put your own solo in...the whole time the song goes.

For serious? I know a local band and they're drummer and bass player are ALWAYS... ALWAYS at each others throats.

Heh, I figured the same would apply to many bands, I guess this band is just a diseased group, that will inevitably fall.

91. You know paradiddle is not a silly word.

92. You consider claves real musical instruments.

93. You put more trust in gaffer tape than your band.

94.) Yeah, and you know ratamaque isn't a rat BBQ : )

95. You're working on a solo album, entirely played on steel drums.

Interesting...

96.) The groove is your life. There is nothing but the groove. If there is something else besides the groove, it is NOT what you need. You only need the groove.

97: You forget how to think.

97 )If someone says bada bing bada boom, you think thats a cue for a fill.

98) Obey the Iron Snare.
