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."

• A New York drummer by the name of Joe was out of work and desperately searching for a gig. He went to the union office where they told him about plentiful jobs in Greece. "Greece?, the drummer said. The union representative replied, "Hey, do you want to work or don't you?".
So the man packed his bags and headed off to Greece. He was to meet up with an old guy by the name of Tarek at a small pub near the town of Perin. Upon his arrival, he located the pub but Tarek was nowhere to be found.
He tracked Tarek down later by phone. He said he needed him for a last minute wedding gig tonight at the Oasis hotel. There would be over 400 guests but unfortunately there wouldn't be time for a rehearsal. Tarek said, "Just show up with your drums and be ready to play." Well, the NY drummer wasn't that nervous. He had played hundreds of wedding gigs back in New York and he was just happy to have some work.
Joe arrived at the hotel on time. The whole band was there except the band leader, Tarek. He set up his drums and patiently awaited for the old guy. Tarek finally arrived 5 minutes before they were supposed to go on. He frantically set up his music stand and raised his arm to lead the band. "Wait!, shouted the NY drummer, what are we playing?" Tarek looked at him calmly (knowing he was a professional drummer) and stated, "Just relax and give me strong backbeats on 7 and 13."

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."
• A horn player who had been playing with Buddy Rich for many years came back from vacation to hear a rumor that Buddy had died. He didn't quite believe it, so he phoned Buddy's wife and said "Can I speak to Buddy please?"
Buddy's wife said, "I'm sorry, Buddy passed away last week."
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that," he said, and hung up.
A couple of hours later, he called her again. "Is Buddy there please?"
"No, I'm sorry. Buddy's no longer with us," said Buddy's wife. And hung up the phone.
Ten minutes later, he called Buddy's wife again. "Can I speak to Buddy please?" he said.
She recognized his voice, and said: "Look, I've told you before, BUDDY'S DEAD!" And slammed down the phone.
Two minutes later, and the phone rang again... "Is Buddy at home please?" the horn player asked.
Buddy's wife was furious. "I'm not going to tell you again, Buddy is dead.. D. E. A. D., DEAD. Why do you keep calling me to ask for Buddy???!!!!"
The horn player
replied, .."I just love hearing you say it."

was walking along the street when she heard..
"Psst! Down here!"

A Drummers Audition
A drummer sits behind the drumset and the band leader says, "Can you play a samba pattern with your bass drum?"
The drummer obliges with a quick "boom b boom" samba pattern.
The band leader then asks, "Can you add a Mozambique cowbell pattern along with that with your right hand?"
The drummer thinks to himself,
"I can do that, no problem" and obliges, giving it his
best Steve Gadd possible. He is then told, "Now add a 2/3 clave with
your
left foot on the hi hat."
The drummer's struggling a
bit with this one but finally works it out and stiffins his back, all
proud of himself.
Next he hears, "Now add a cascara pattern on the snare with your
left
hand." Years of studying Gary Chester books and listening to world
music finally
come to fruition and the relieved drummer finds he can play the whole
pattern
with no problem.
Pleased with himself, he asks the band leader "So, do I get the job?
"No " says the bandleader "that's why we fired the last guy!"
