Pass this along to some of your guitarist friends who think THEY are 
the only real musicians in the band!

So, you think anyone can be a drummer? It is my hope that the 
following test will prove you wrong. 

First of all, sit down on a chair.  I wouldn't want to be responsible 
for you falling and hurting yourself.  But not just any chair! A 
small chair, with little cushioning and no back, and you have to 
balance your butt near the edge of it.  Ready? Okay, here we go. 

Step 1: Pat yourself on the head rapidly with your right hand.  Make 
sure it's a rapid pat, not some leisurely pat! 

Step 2: While still patting yourself on the head, begin rubbing your 
stomach with your left hand.  This can be a slow rub, or a quick 
one.  I'd suggest starting out slowly. 

Step 3: You're still sitting down, right? This is where it could get 
dangerous.  With your right foot, tap out the melody to Twinkle, 
Twinkle, Little Star while continuing to pat your head and rub your 
stomach. 

Step 4: Anything cramping yet? Now, with your left foot, tap out the 
melody to Mary Had a Little Lamb while continuing with Steps 1 - 3. 

Step 5: In one of your hands, while still performing all 4 steps, 
hold a long, slender object, and occasionally twirl it around without 
missing a beat. 

Step 6: This is the top level of the Drummer Test.  While continuing 
Steps 1 - 5, sing the words to one of your favorite songs.  Note: it 
is suggested that you start with singing the words to the songs in 
Steps 2 and 3. 

Step 7: Now that you can do all of that simultaneously, do it with 
brief breaks for two hours or more.  Don't be alarmed.  After months 
to years of practice, your muscles won't spasm like that anymore.  
And it is perfectly normal for your back to feel like it does right 
now. 

Still think anyone can be a drummer? I hope not.  And I hope you'll 
think twice about using the phrase: "Just a drummer," ever again.

When I first started to read this, I thought is was the latest test going
around the email trail:


Sit down,  take your right foot and move it in a clockwise circular motion.

Now, take your right hand pointer finger and draw the number 6 in the air in
front of you.

Notice how you foot changes direction from clockwise to counter-clockwise
when you try to drawing the number 6.

Limb independence!!!!!
