Here's a thought; are drums a musical instrument?
Not unless they're made from empty 5 gallon plastic buckets and mercilessly beaten on while a bunch of others jump up and down to the beat. Oh, and this must take place on the corner of a busy intersection on a Saturday evening when you're out trying to find a nice place to eat. Then, the buckets are instruments, and the players are musicians. (Unless, of course, you are like me and don't really count drummers as musicians at all, which then completely negates everything I just wrote.)
