  I was fortunate to attend an audience with Jeff Rich today ( the Status Quo Drummer ) in a history of percussion.
  Not touring with Status Quo so much now due to family life, the guy is very nice to talk to and very informative.
  
  Here are a few photos from the event.

  So a guy walks into a shop, and says I'll need a hi hat symbol and a new skin for the snare.
  
  The woman behind the counter says 'you're a drummer'.
  
  'How do you know?'
  
  'This is a fish and chip shop.
