-Most drummers I know seem to be energetic and stay in relative good nick for body and mind, it is a physical kind of playing (a) musical instrument(s)!! Quite the contrarary to the navel gazing introverted (bass) guitarists.(sloughed postures etc.) for example.

-They: seem to age with some kind of dignity(ahemmm)
- do like a tipple.
- do not take too much crap from anyone.
- are good for a lough.
- tend to give the girl the eye.
- do not like to be told.
- love playing encores. ( fit in that that lick or solo in the process)
- transport their gear reluctantly and use weird containers.
- are great interruptors of other peoples speach, like syncopations!

What do you guys think, can you recognize/underwrite some of my observations or know other ones that would qualify??

Happy Drumming, cheers, Harry

You nailed it for me - add "up for a laugh anytime, anywhere" and I'm me... er... you.
