Okay, I missed # 9, I'll give them that one.
They say I missed # 15, but their answer is wrong, easy to prove 
Dave
Carl, check the "For Sale" section of the newspaper, look for "used drums", probably find some idiot who was tired of playing alone

Hey Carl D
I take offense to that idiot remark!!!! After all, I live with 2 drummers here.
AND.......if they're such "idiots" why is it that your drummer quiting on you got you in such a pinch?? eh?? seems if the idiot weren't needed you'd be happy that he quit.
Sorry, just messin with you pal......but from a mom who constantly here's the bad rap that drummers get.....well, I gotta come to the defense.
Hope your band is back on track soon and you find someone great to replace him soon.
From me....the mom who appreciates every beat any drummer ever makes......cuz the rest of the band would sure sound like shit without em.
wishing you the best,
EDNA

They definately march to the beat of a different drummer to their own beat.
Moonie, Bonzo... 2 of the craziest! May they R.I.P. (or raise a little "hell" wherever they are )

Hey Carl,
Yeah, I can do it. I'm getting my neck operated on this Tuesday, but, you know, the doc says I'll only be out a couple of weeks. Then, well, he said the collar had to stay on 24/7 for a month, but, does that matter? Oh, and then I can't really do anything with my hands or arms for about 5 weeks either. But, you know, I've ALWAYS wanted to be in a band.....and drum too. Kind of like Peter Tork of the Monkees.
So, it's kinda' like fulfilling a boyhood dream for me. Can you teach me the basics? Oh man, like I'm soooo excited about this opportunity. I really really am a quick learner. I almost played the guitar once. Oh, and I can sometimes pick up some tunes on the piano, like, you know, by ear. Hey Carl, is it anything like playing the piano?
I just want you to know that I really really do appreciate the chance to do this. Hey, do I get to wear some type of uniform and cut my hair? It would be cool if all of us looked alike, don't you think? Do I get to pick out my own chair? Or do folks in the"biz" call it a stool?
Do I have to fill out some type of application? How are the benefits? Do we get vacation too? Will we go on tour and, like, do all the way cool things like Ringo? . . . . . . . .

Carl_D,
Depends where you are located? I know an awesome drummer over here and one in Texas. The one here was part of a really cool band but the band broke up when the bass player died of a heart attack this summer, So he's looking for a new band and wants to try one in the US.

Edna,
I am offended that you are offended by my offending remark about drummers. I feel like I am entitled, as I too am a drummer. I will defend my idiocy to the bitter end. Actually started playing drums as a wee little lad, but traded them for a guitar a few years later due to the fact that drums are expensive to maintain, and I was raised kinda poor. No regrets though, learned a few different instruments; although i am ruined on keyboards until I have surgery to repai my left middle finger. Injured my arm in a fall back in January and thought I'd never play guitar again. I still play, albeit a bit hindered.
All it means for me now is more work, as if i didn't have enough to do already. Now I have to play drums on our recordings until we get a new drummer, unless they surprise me tonight when I get there. Mike was talking about calling our previous drummer, Rich back. I told him not to do anything hastily, and that we will find a better one than Kenny. Believe it or not, I am an optimist. I know I haven't always reflected that on the board, but who does in extreme circumstances.
Peace,
Carl D

LOL - Also...
Say you are lost in a forest. You find a drummer with perfect timing and a drummer with lousy timing and a lepreuchan. Who do you ask for directions?
The drummer with lousy timing, as the other two are figments of your imagination and don't exist.
How many guitarists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
12. One screws it in and the other eleven say "I can do that."
How many vocalists does it take to screw in a lightbulb. Just one, he just holds it and the world revolves around him.
Peace,
Carl D
