Funny Sh*t Drummers Do: A Fun Look at Life Behind a Drum Set

Funny Sh*t Drummers Do is a fun drum book for drummers of all abilities, from beginners to professional musicians. Inside are forty pages of tips for learning how to improve your drumming, how to turn pro and drummer jokes. Here are some samples:

As you learn to play a drum set,
you’ll learn about independence– four limbs playing four different rhythms
on four different instruments at the same time.
And mastering it will be more impressive
than learning calculus.

Be prepared for encores.
It’s easy.
No matter whether you’re performing
jazz, rock or musical theater,
there will always be someone
at the end of a gig
who shouts, Free Bird.

What’s the difference between an amateur drummer and a professional drummer? An amateur drummer plays gigs on weekends and works a day job during the week. A professional drummer plays gigs on weekends and has a wife who works a day job during the week.

Funny Sh*t Drummers Do is based on author David Aron’s twenty-five years of playing drum sets with rock bands, jazz ensembles and musical theater productions.
