My wife had her driving test today.
She got 8 out of 10.
The other 2 jumped out of the way!

Simply hate it - made me wanna choke him  He didn't play a single drumstroke that was appropriate for the song and if I had been booked for a gig where this idiot turned up as the "drummer" I'd ride it out, but then tell him - in no uncertain terms - that this was our last gig together EVER! I'd make a firm note of his name and make sure that I NEVER got anywhere near him again. He's just the impersonation of un-professionalism. Same goes for this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItZyaOlrb7EOle

Been there done that, with many different drummers!
As friend of mine sent me this “That's why they put them behind glass enclosures nowadays! Have you seen that? I assume that's done because most drummers have NO sense of dynamics! I would have fired him after the third hit on the drums”

Guys, this was a joke, right?  You don't really think the rest of the group would play a second tune with this guy if it wasn't a joke

I really would want to think that this was a joke, but by the look on the singers- and bassplayers faces it wasn't.

Ditto! Besides being a creep!
Or maybe it was a joke. After all he was also dressed to stand out from the musicians.

Wondered that myself.
Either way, I will let no man pull me down so low as to make me *hate* him.
I just would not hire him for MY gig...

I try always to look for the positive. At least he had his fly trap open and ready. The girl on keys looked like she was about to lose it at the end, poor thing.

Bet he's run into that problem so many times that he started his own band. You'd have to be desperate to work for him though.

Well, it was good for a laugh.
The lady had some pretty good chops I'd say and nerves of steel to be able to weather the storm.
