Fred Armisen: A Joke About Different Drummers

**Fred Armisen** (0:05)
My other problem with jazz... is that jazz drummers, you know, they have their whole kit. They never play it. They never really play the drums, do they? Did you ever notice that? You go to see a jazz band and it's just...
Do you drummers, do you guys have that friend who thinks they can play the drums? Do you have that guy? That person who just, hey, I could do this. It's always the same beat. Did you ever see those drummers who, they have that one reggae song, and they have to prove to you that they can play reggae, they play, overplay it, it's like two reggae, you know. Calm down. I don't know why, this is my least favorite beat to play. I can't get into it. There's something wrong with this beat. It's not fun to listen to, not fun to play. Um, here are some drummers you might know. This is my impression of Ringo Starr. He's always very happy when he plays.
Keith Moon is a little more.
They're sort of marching forward. There's Stuart Copeland. Someone say Stuart Copeland? He's kind of like...
Meg White, she's great, she's got an arc of drumming. A lot of drummers, they tell you that their favorite drummer is John Bonham in a way, as if it's their first person to say it, like, you know who I like? Bonham. Do you ever see that when a drummer plays on a ballad, they ding the cymbal at the end for no reason. It doesn't do anything to the song. Do you ever see that? Why? Leave it. Leave the song alone. It's great. It ended already. This did nothing. Watch Fred Armisen, Standup For Drummers, only on Netflix.
