Funny Ha Ha, Not given drum lessons its easy really if you can drive a car and keep time and own a drum kit your drummer, no honestly it is hard work the drummer is the worst gig in the band has to be first to set up and always last down the pub after wards, used to be in a band called Circus played a few gigs recorded our own stuff but we all went our own wayciting solo careers, Circus reformed last year with my brother on the drums new material out after xmas you can find circus stuff on youtube but would not recommend it unless you are very bored
