Jam Season

M.: HmmmppPPHHHH?

E.: MMMMMAAAAAAAARRRRCCCCC! Wake up! It was SO FUNNY last night, at the Jam Season!

M.: Jam Season?

E.: It's when all the musicians get together, and play, and they take turns playing. A Jam Season; do you know what I mean? The drummer took a break and this other guy in the bar said "I'll play!" And he jumped up and started drumming!

What do you call that round thing drummers hit?

M.: (??? Almost everything drummers hit is round...) Do you mean the cymbals?

E. Yes, the cymbals! He hit the cymbals at the wrong time! He had never drummed before in his life! It looks SO easy to be a drummer, but actually it's hard to do, especially when they hit that - uh, pendolium.

M.: It takes a lot of practice!

E.: Anyway, the whole band had to stop, because no one knew when to do anything. The singers stopped too. IT was SO funny! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! It was SO funny!

Oh gosh!

For the singers, the drummer is important, because that's where they get their melody!

M.: You mean that's where they get their rhythm.

E.: Yes, their rhythm! Then C. said "get that guy out of there!" And everyone said 'get that guy out of there.' And the guy's wife; she works at the bar and she said: "He doesn't know anything about drumming - I don't know why he did that..." Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Do you know what I mean?

M.: Poor guy!

E.: I know! He disappeared after that. I think he's embarrassed.
