Quotable Things Said in Drum Lessons

"My left foot is like my left hand, only stupider" - Tom R.

"You want me to play that on the riot cymbal?" - Alan H.

After I told him to put his books on the floor tom (as opposed to "on the floor, Tom"), Derek leaned over to place his stuff on the floor. Puzzled, he looked back at me and said (in all seriousness) "My name isn't Tom..."

"Flam Diddely Doo" - a new rudiment invented by Ben G. (It's played exactly as it sounds!)

"Tradiculous Grip" - the name I gave to Ben's mutated and intentionally silly version of traditional grip.
