Funny Drummer Hats

Drummers have music's richest self-deprecating joke corpus, and this collection runs straight through it. DRUMMER and PERCUSSIONIST anchor the badges in plain terms. MORE COWBELL calls back to the 2000 Saturday Night Live sketch that turned a Blue Oyster Cult session into one of the most reprinted music jokes there is, and it gets the collection's one arc, set like a rodeo sign. The sentence lines carry the gear-hauling, can't-count-to-four, too-loud reputation every drummer either earns or inherits: I HIT THINGS WITH STICKS AND CALL IT MUSIC and WHAT? I'M A DRUMMER own the joke before anyone else can make it, FIRST TO ARRIVE LAST TO LEAVE I'M THE DRUMMER states the unpaid labor of hauling a full kit to every gig, and IT'S ALWAYS THE DRUMMER'S FAULT admits the band's default scapegoat. I DRUM ON EVERY STEERING WHEEL I HAVE EVER OWNED is the compulsive tell that outs a drummer in traffic, and BUY THE DRUMMER A BEER closes on the oldest piece of bar etiquette in live music. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. MORE COWBELL and BUY THE DRUMMER A BEER, the two strongest lines, each get a second colorway.
