23 Oct 99 - 04:48 PM (#127248) Subject: Drummer jokes and others From: Freddie Fox Click for the 'PermaThread™: List of all joke threads'The ex-drummer from our band started collecting drummer jokes in sheer desperation, because everyone else kept firing them at him - such as How do you get a one-armed drummer out of a tree? Wave at him What's the difference between a Radox bath and the drummer from Bros? The Radox bath bucks up the feet... Is this phenomenon peculiar to our patch [Leeds, England] or does everybody everywhere give drummers a hard time? Also, does anyone know any good jokes against other types of musician [specifically guitarists, bass playes and fiddle / mandolin playes, so that I can pass them on to the poor sod and allow him to get his own back!!!! |

23 Oct 99 - 06:37 PM (#127297) Subject: RE: Drummer jokes and others From: Freddie Fox OK, then here goes. A man goes into a bar with hi pet octopus under his arm. He offers the challenge that his octopus will play any instrument that anyone cares to produce [the usual forfeit of beers all round applying]. To cut a long story short, the octopus plays everything - saxophone, piano, fiddle, accordion, you name it. [ie. you can pan this tale out as long as you want!]. Then someone produces a set of bagpipes, and the octopus goes spare. All-in wrestling isn't in it! So the man has to buy a large round of drinks, disentangles his octopus from the bagpipes, and goes out in disgust. He complains to the octopus that he's really let him down - the octopus replies - what do you mean? I hadn't finished taking it's knickers off. Can we go back to drummers now? |

But there was a thread about banjo player jokes not too long ago. I'll come back and post a link for you... Margo |

24 Oct 99 - 05:56 PM (#127575) Subject: RE: Drummer jokes and others From: Gint How many drummers does it take to change a light bulb? None. They have a machine to do it for them. How many drummers does it take to change a light bulb? One, but he'll break 5 of them before he figures out you can't just push them in. Heard backstage: "Will the musicians and the drummer please come to the stage!"
What's the difference between a drummer & drum machine? With a drum machine you only have to punch the instructions in once!

25 Oct 99 - 04:41 AM (#127714) Subject: RE: Drummer jokes and others From: Gint I've started so I'll finnish Q: How do you get a drummer to play an accelerando? A: Ask him to play in 4/4 at a steady 120 bpm. Why do bands have bass players? To translate for the drummer. Q: What's the difference between a drummer & drum machine? A: With a drum machine you only have to punch the instructions in once! Dictionary of Musical Terms JAZZ: Five men on the same stage all playing different tunes. BLUES: Played exclusively by people who woke up this morning. WORLD MUSIC : A dozen different types of percussion all going at once. OPERA : People singing when they should be talking. RAP : People talking when they should be singing. CLASSICAL : Discover the other 45 minutes they left out of the TV ad. FOLK : Endless songs about shipwrecks in the 19th century. BIG BAND : 20 men who take it in turns to stand up plus a drummer. HEAVY METAL : Codpiece and chaps HOUSE MUSIC : OK as long as it's not the house next door. A drummer, tired of being ridiculed by his peers, decides to learn how to play some "real" musical instruments. He goes to a music store, walks in, approaches the store clerk, and says "I'll take that red trumpet over there and that accordion." The store clerk looks at him a bit funny, and replies "OK, you can have the fire extinguisher but the radiator's got to stay". Drummer & lead guitarist have a massive fight, when it's broken up , it turns out the drummer turned the one of the guitarists tuning knobs and wouldn't say which one. What happens when you sing country and western music backwards? You get your wife and your job back.

25 Oct 99 - 06:08 PM (#127909) Subject: RE: Drummer jokes and others From: Freddie Fox I'm going to finish with one of my own favourites. The Musician's Union Rep is standing outside the Albert Hall in London, because there's a big all genre conference going on and he wants to do a survey. First of all, along comes a really posh bloke in a monkey suit [tuxedo to most of you!], and he asks him, 'Excuse me sir, can you tell me what you play' 'Yes, most certainly, I'm the first violinist with the London Philharmonic' 'And can you tell me your IQ?' 'Oh.. about 160, I believe' 'Thank you very much'. He notes down the answers and waits for the next victim. Shortly, along comes a bloke in jeans and a sports jacket, and he says to him 'Excuse me sir, can you tell me what you play?' 'Yes, I play double bass in a jazz band' 'And can you tell me your IQ?' 'Last time I checked it was about 140' 'Thank you very much. [ED. you can spin this out as much as you like, and depending on who else you want to dig at] Finally, along comes a real greebo - greasy leather jacket, hair down to his bum, knuckles trailing along the ground. The rep steps up to him and says 'Excuse me sir, I have one question for you' 'UUgh?' 'Where do you buy your sticks?' Isn't that beautifully stereotyped and npc? Thanks very much for all the contributions - I shall pass them on. Freddie |
