In that case, I’m sure you’ve heard both of those jokes. It seems like at every show I attend the other band members wind up making fun of the drummer at some point. It’s sort of a running joke. No offense intended.
Here is a good bass player joke :
A Bass player is on a flight to Africa. On approach, he hears drums. “Flight attendant, I hear drums; is there a special ceremony”?
“Drums good”, the attendant replies.
In the taxi, the bass player once again hears drums and asks “I hear drums again, what is going on?”
“Drums good”, says the cab driver.
Once at the hotel, the bass player is determined to ask his question again. But just then, the drums stop. “I have been hearing drums all morning and now they have stopped. What is the meaning of this?”.
The desk clerk frowns and says “That’s bad...now come bass solo”.
