let there be drums.

No Ringo Starr or Phil Collins in the list unfortunatly !

They're all from last year Liz, come back with some up-to-date ones that haven't been covered by Steve56 or myself, THEN I'll be impressed

Looks like to much banging brings on an early death, well thats it im going celibate !sad!

Of course Spinal Tap (the fictional rock band) have gone through a load of drummers.

The Wikipedia site has a "history" of the band, including all the drummers


They are listed as:

John "Stumpy" Pepys (1964-1969) Died in a bizarre gardening accident
Eric "Stumpy Joe" Childs (1969-1974) Choked on vomit (possibly not his own)
Sammy "Stumpy" Bateman (2000) Died in a freak tricycle accident jumping over a pool of sharks.
Peter "James" Bond (1974-1977) Spontaneous combustion
Mick Shrimpton (1977-1982) Onstage explosion
Joe "Mama" Besser (1982) Missing, presumed dead or playing jazz
Richard "Ric" Shrimpton (1982-1999) Allegedly sold his dialysis machine for drugs, presumed dead
Plus 14 other drummers at various times of whom all are dead

Here's another one...

Sandy West was already reported here on 25th October

Darn...that'll learn me to check whether stuff's been posted already!

Thought it was relevant to this thread, though...

No Lars Ulrich too, sadly.
