Why do guitarists put drumsticks on the dash of their car?
So they can park in the handicapped spot.

How is a drum solo like a sneeze?
You know it's coming, but there's nothing you can do about it.

What's the first thing a drummer says when he moves to LA?
"Would you like fries with that, sir?

What is the difference between a drummer and a savings bond?
One will mature and make money.

Why do drummers have lots of kids?
They're not too good at the Rhythm Method.

What do you do if you accidentally run over a drummer?
Back up.

What did the drummer say to the band leader?
"Do you want me to play too fast or too slow?"

Deep in the African jungle, a safari was camped for the night. In the darkness, distant drums began a relentless throbbing that continued until dawn. The safari members were disturbed, but the guide reassured them: "Drums good. When drums stop, very bad." Every night the drumming continued, and every night the guide reiterated, "Drums good. When drums stop, VERY bad." This continues for several days until one morning the drumming suddenly stops and all the natives panic and run screaming. The man asks the guide what's the matter? The guide looking very frightened says: "When drums stop, VERY, VERY bad," he said. "Why is it bad?" asked a member of the safari. "Because when drums stop, bass solo begin!"

    True story. One hungover drummer to another: 'I think I'm allergic to leather.' 'Why?' 'Well every time I wake up wearing these shoes I feel dreadful!'

    My favourite all time drummer joke:
    A drummer was fed up with all the drummer jokes and decided to learn guitar. He studied diligently until after a couple of years he plucked up courage and walked into a shop and said to the man behind the counter:
    "Hello, I'd like a 1968 pre CBS Fender Strat please, with a maple neck, inlaid ivory fret markers, 3 reverse would single coil pickups, the nut filed down and super slinky 9 gauge strings tuned down half a tone like Jimi did it...in fact, just like that one over there!" he said excitedly pointing.
    And the guy behind the counter says " You're a drummer aren't you"
    "How did you know that?
    "Because this is a fish and chip shop and you just pointed at the radiator!"
    Brrrrrrrrrrrrrcsh....I thank you!
