Wha?

And he probably knows that’s the limit he can boast before he worries his players will start using their mallets on something other than their instruments.

Good way to hammer it home.

He’s gotta back beat, you can’t lose it.

Bada boom bada bing. Or is it bada bing bada boom?

Sold out concert. See ticket scalpers.

Totally Tubular, Man!

He will have a descendent who will be incredibly skilled with string instruments but will keep harping on about his accomplishments.

The only boom I’m familiar with is Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay

The original rock band!

The drum machine, an early version of AI, eliminated a lot of jobs in the rock industry.

So does a prehistoric Gypsy Rose Lee come out and slowly take off her bearskin?

Casual Night in the orchestra pit.

“Who put the bomp in the bomp bah bomp bah bomp…”

And before you know it “Louie, Louie…” or maybe “Johnny Be Good”?

He put the ram in the ram-a-lam-a-ding-dong!

You sound like you’re in a tunnel.

Give someone a log and a stick and they automatically think they are genius.

Early ancestor of Max Roach, Buddy Rich or Gene Krupa.

Not nearly as annoying though as David Jay Weiss, Donald E. Fagenson, and Randall Keith Jacobs who came up with:

Boom boom acka-lacka lacka boomBoom boom acka-lacka boom boom

Now, try and get that song out of your head today.

Another one-hit wonder…

Drumz.

Do "_In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida!

Do “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida”!

He’s got a beat, but it ain’t worth Diddley.

Am I the only one who thought of “EastEnders”?
