Boy: Mummy, when I grow up I want to be a drummer.

Mum: Sorry Son, but you can't do both.

But Big Ted, I only don't want to be a drummer because I know I'm not good enough to do it justice!

Even if you had to, I still don't think you would.

SOME people love SOME drummers. It's a rare, yet wonderful thing, so I'm told.

Rare, wonderful and highly educational - I can now do paradiddles (ish) and can tap out a fair combination of 1st and 2nd parts to Centenial (I probably can't spell it though).  Last year, I even learnt some of the stick drill.  Not bad for a 4 year apprenticeship  

I'm still crap at cymbals though and Dolly can't get anywhere near eagle squadron on the picc - maybe that means he's a better teacher than me.  Can't think what else it could mean
