John takes a break from playing pop and jazz around Birmingham when he joins Brassneck on drums.

OK - he's a drummer - playing may be a bit much...

What do you call someone who hangs around with musicians?  A drummer!

What is the difference between an onion and a bass drum?  No one cries when you put a knife through a bass drum!

How do you know when the stage is level?  The drummer dribbles from both sides of his mouth!

Why is the drummer always outside the door?  He never knows when to come in!
