A percussionist walked into orchestra rehearsal one night carrying a big bottle of vodka. After sitting down and taking a few swigs, he put one of his drumsticks into the bottle and left it in the back. One of the trombone players saw it and decided to sneak a drink. The percussionist caught him and was ready to start swinging when the conductor broke it up. "You can't bring alcohol in here! And why did you put your stick in the bottle, anyway?" he asked. The drummer replied, "Well, the bassoon player brings her shot glass every week! I figured she put her reed in it so no one else would drink it!"

A percussionist was called before the judge in court. "Say," said the judge, "haven't I seen you somewhere before?" "That's right!" the percussionist said hopefully, "I gave your child drum lessons!" "Ah yes," said the judge. "Twenty years!"

Two girls are walking along when they hear, "Psst! Down here!" They both look down and see a frog sitting beside the road. The frog says to them, "Hey, if you kiss me I'll turn into a world famous drummer and make you both rich and famous!" The two girls looked at each other, and one of them reached down and grabbed the frog and stuffed it in her pocket. The other girl said, "What did you do that for?" The first replied, "I'm not stupid. I know a talking frog is worth more than a famous drummer any day!"

A drummer was hiking in the mountains, and he came upon a shepherd who was tending a large herd of sheep that were grazing in an alpine meadow. The drummer took a fancy to the sheep, and asked the shepherd, "If I can guess how many sheep you have, can I have one?" The shepherd thought this was an odd request, but thought that there was little chance that the man would guess the exact number of sheep, so he said "Sure." The drummer guessed, "You have 287 sheep," to the shepherd's astonishment, since this was exactly how many sheep he had. The drummer got all excited and asked, "Can I pick out my sheep now?" and the shepherd grudgingly gave his permission. The drummer selected his sheep, bent over, and swung the sheep over his shoulders to carry home with him. The shepherd then got an idea and asked, "If I guess your occupation, can I have my sheep back?" The drummer was a bit surprised by this, but figured that it was unlikely that the shepherd would be able to guess his occupation, and went along with the deal. The shepherd then guessed, "You're a drummer, aren't you?" The drummer was very surprised and asked, "How did you know?" The shepherd responded, "Put the dog down and we'll talk about it."
