How unlucky can you get?

John "Stumpy" Pepys (1964-1967) Died in a bizarre, unexplained gardening accident.
Eric "Stumpy Joe" Childs (1967-1974) Choked on vomit of unknown origin.
Peter "James" Bond (1974-1977) Spontaneously combusted onstage.
Mick Shrimpton (1977-1982) Onstage explosion
Joe "Mama" Besser (1982) Quit the band, claiming he "couldn't take this 4/4 shit"; according to an MTV interview with Spinal Tap in November 1991, he disappeared under mysterious circumstances.
Gary Wallis, Jody Linscott (Amnesty International performance in 1991) (Wallis pretended to explode at the end of the performance.)
Richard "Ric" Shrimpton (1982-1999) Allegedly sold his dialysis machine for drugs, presumed dead
Mick Fleetwood (2000) The only one to survive unscathed.
Scott "Skippy" Scuffleton (2001-2007) Fate unknown.
Plus 14 other drummers at various times all of whom are dead.

I'm sure you know Mutley - Spinal Tap!

With the best-ever unfinished piece of work:
Nigel Tufnel's Trilogy in D-minor, including song with the working title "Lick My Love Pump".

To be fair, most music fans and members of pop groups will tell you drummers have the least talent. And they tend to be the most temperamental. Or so I have heard like.

Am I right in thinking that they are thought of as the lowest members of a band. I know that their has been a few god ones and I for one would not have a go at anyone who can smash down hard on a dead animals skin with a twig and a clothes peg, just to help their group or band keep in time.
It is like drummers in army bands all they ever did was keep the rest of us in time. Or bang loud on a rotting skin to rally us round.

Do you drive????

Do You put a TIGER in the Tank????

A band are nothing without a decent drummer.
The Clash were far & away the best of the punk rock scene,Topper Headon was by far the best drummer on the scene.
A good drummer is also the hardest band member to find.
