Drummer problems? These guys have their solution.

This reminds me of a friend with a fantastic since of humor who used to perform solo with a dulcimer. At some point in the show he'd bring out his "new-fangled drum machine" which would be one of those toy monkeys with the cymbals. He hit the switch and the monkey kept the beat. First time I saw this I laughed until I cried. He told me after the show he actually had various sets of batteries that he used to keep different time based on the life left in the batteries.
