Possibly the best ad for a drummer I've ever seen...

On a Facebook group called "Texas bands seeking musicians":

Dear Country Drummers,

Are you looking to take one night off a week from the Pizza Hut to play the drums good enough to make people think you know what you’re doing in a original country band located in Bonham TX? We play gigs in the North Texas and Southern Oklahoma area.

Well, here’s your chance! Due to the unprecedented lack of drummers out there in our area, we had a reality check and we’ve lowered our expectations. We don’t care what you look like. We don’t care what you smell like. We don’t care if you’re a male, female, or both. Are you unreliable and a genuine pain in the ass? Sounds great! Are you frequently told to f*ck off and never come back? Hey, you might be our next Drummer!

If you can somehow manage to stay upright on the drum throne for most of the night, you will likely get the job.

Thank about it! This might be your very last chance to play with good people before you’ve ruined it with everybody?

We’re looking for a permanent Drummer to roll with us immediately. Please don’t expect to make this your main income earning career. We get paid by the gig. And that ain’t a lot. If you think that is you, send me a message on Facebook and let’s get something going this week!

I think the way to seal the deal would be to reply 'OK but only if I don't have to wear one of those STUPID HATS!', then they'd know you're the one they are looking for. :roflmao:

Here is a pic of me in my “stupid hat” at the world famous Luckenbach Texas dance hall. I’m sorry you think my hat is stupid. I guess it’s only fair though… I think deep dish pizza, the Chicago Bears, and astronomical murder rates are stupid too ;):cool:

(I do like Michael Jordan, so there’s that I guess :roflmao:)
