Great response to this post.

Seems like we have similar interests. I used to be a very enthusiastic motorcyclist unit I got F.U.B.A.R in 2006.

Another drummer!?!?

ok...

here goes...

Two drummers walk into a bar...
which is funny because you would have figured the second one would have seen the first guy do it.

What do you call a drummer who's lost his girlfriend?
Homeless.

Two cowboys were waiting in their fort 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, a distant voice came over the hill, "It's not our usual drummer!"


Ok, I will play nice...

How many bass players does it take to change a light bulb?
Never mind. The piano player can do it with his left hand.

What's the difference between a bass guitarist and God?
God doesn't think he's a bass guitarist.

A scientific expedition disembarks from its plane at the final outpost of civilization in the deepest Amazon rain forest. They immediately notice the ceaseless thrumming of native drums. As they venture further into the bush, the drums never stop, day or night, for weeks.

The lead scientist asks one of the natives about this, and the native's only reply is "Drums good. Drums never stop. Very BAD if drums stop."

The drumming continues, night and day, until one night, six weeks into the trip, when the jungle is suddenly silent. Immediately the natives run screaming from their huts, covering their ears. The scientists grab one boy and demand "What is it? The drums have stopped!"

The terror-stricken youth replies "Yes! Drums stop! VERY BAD!"

The scientists ask "Why? Why? What will happen?"

Wild-eyed, the boy responds,




" . . . BASS SOLO!!!" -
