Favourite Composition Devices

I must say I disagree with your sig, violently.

Let me explain on what Igor meant with that (as the rumour has it at least).

when you imitate you never make something your own. You are not yourself but someone else.

When you steal, on the other hand, you take it and make it yours, you are no longer someone else, but yourself!

I like drummers

So do I. I was just imagining the noise if he fell on top of his kit.

How do you get a drummer off your front doorstep?

Pay him for the pizza.

What did the drummer get on his IQ test?

Drool.

We could go on like this ad infinitum, but it could get tiring.

Don't shit on the drummers guys. They're your lifeline. They drive the bus and are the only band member capable of singlehandedly derailing entire performances...

that really makes a lot of sense

Not to mention, they're probably the only member of an ensemble who will sight-read the whole part perfectly the first time through, even if the part includes nested tuplets and time signatures that read like 10/12, 15/18, etc.
