No talent drummer wannabe

[TheKiltedWonder]

I've never been in a pipeband before, but from what I remember from MS and HS band is that neither the ability to keep a steady beat nor musical talent were ever requirements for the drummers...

(NOTE: I play drums (trap set) as well as other instruments.)

What do you call someone who hangs around with musicians?
A drummer.

What do you do with a musician who can't play?
Give him two sticks, sit him in the back and tell him he's a drummer.
What if he still can't play?
Take away one of his sticks and put him in front ...

How can you tell when there's a drummer at the door?
The knocking speeds up and he doesn't know when to come in.

Thank you, thank you, try the pork chops, don't forget to tip your waitress ...

This is me about 10 years ago in a recording studio with the band I played in...



I haven't played since 2000, but I may get back into it once we move. I'm self taught and couldn't read sheet music if you held a gun to my head. However, I can follow along and can usually learn most songs by ear.
If I can do it, you can too! Go for it.
