anyway, I heard a funny story about Bernard - apparently back in the day he was doing a studio date with some big rock star and he came into the studio and hung a banner behind his drums in the booth that said WORLD'S GREATEST DRUMMER. but it looked like something a kid would do for Arts and Crafts, all elmer's glue and sparkle glitter. everybody has a pretty good laugh when BP puts it up and, as soon as there's enough of a break in the proceedings that folks leave room, one of the cats decides he's going to mess with BP by turning the banner around backwards.
apparently this has not gone unplanned for, on the back the banner reads F**K YOU.

The question is, does Bernard Purdie even make $10,000/hr firm? I'm guessing no, and he probably has his own drums and pedals, to boot!!
I just realized, paying this guy for 8 hours of studio time would eat up an incredibly large percentage of your average heavy metal album's budget. Hmmm....
