Fuse, this one's for you... Had to branch off of your musician jokes post and try this one on for size...
Modern Drummer started one a while back, and said they would follow up on it, but I don't think they ever did... So, I'll start it for them, and e-mail them the link to this thread once we're done with it...
You know you're a drummer if...
-you use your car's turn signal clicks as a metronome
follow along, or vote it off...
just trying to spread some humor on a gloomy Monday morning in Jacksonville, FL

-you've ever tried walking in 7/8 instead of 4/4...or was that just me?
-
when you're trying to go to sleep at night and you have a clock that ticks and you keep doing beats in your head to the ticks...
or if you have music on in your car and when it's raining and you have your windshield wipers on and you see when the wipers are on the beat and off the beat...
-
-set aside a specific spot on your desk because it sounds like the perfect piccolo snare when struck with your pinky knuckle...
-when your car purchase hinges on if your drums will fit in the backseat/trunk (that was from Modern Drummer, but it stuck w/ me)
-
When you can't hear your clock ticking at all....

The clock ticking 1 is a classic!...
CP - hilarious [i had to read it 3 times b4 i understood what u were sayin!!]...
Here's a few that i can think of 4 now...
That dashboard to 1 of your old/former cars looks like the floor of the Mojave at summertime: cracks forming due to an endless, repetitive barrage of assaults from stix/pencils/pens/anything even remotely resembling drumstix over a period of time...
At bedtime, you find yourself keeping awake to that quirky, repetitive noise made by that ceiling fan hanging over your bed - keeping time to it, squeezing in triplets; 5,7, etc against 4; whatever superimnposed metric modulation you've started trying to learn lately, etc...
Timing that beep u here when a city/county truck goes into reverse...
Looking at that microwave clock-timer when it says "2:00," down to "1:01," & at "1:00" looking away, & counting it down to the end-beep to see how close to the time u were...
...& you guys thought YOU were 'anal'.... [img]wink.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img]
