At a recent session the drummer was the first to arrive, heres how the
conversation went:
ME: So how many piece kit are we recording today
Drummer: ahh.............7
ME: Really, doesn't look like that many cases, your not counting the
cymbals are you?
Drummer: ahh, yes sorry, its a 5 piece kit'
'
ME: So then, kik, snare and 3 toms?
Drummer: no, kik snare and one tom
ME: ahh.........so thats 3 then.
Drummer: and a floor tom
ME: ok, (smacks head) SO....a 4 piece kit, kik snare and 2 toms?
Drummer: NO, one tom and a floor
ME: Right... (I really didn't want to ask this next question) How many
people are in the band today, the instrument lineup
Drummer: there is .....Drums.....bass....2 guitars, 3 singers,
acoustic guitar and keyboards.
ME: Really..... 9 people
Drummer: no....... 5
ME: so... some of the people who play also sing and double up on other
instruments?
Drummer: ah yeah
I had one more question about how many songs they were doing, but I
left that for the next persson to show up.

Hehe!!......I had the same sorta' thing happen here the other day.
Me: So how many pieces in your kit ? I need to know so I can have the mics
ready to set up.
Drummer.......well, letsee, I've to two toms, a crash, ride, hats, kick and
a snare.
Me: Cool......I'll have everything ready to go.
Drummer shows up with an 18" floor tom, a 16" floor tom, two ride toms, a
crash, a ride, a splash, hats, a kick with a cowbell hanging off it and a
snare. Gotta love it.
Me: OK, this is gonna take a bit longer to set up so go ahead and get your
kit together and start tuning.
Drummer......CRAP!!! I forgot my key!!!, you got some pliers?
Me: Dude, you really want to do that?
Drummer: Well, I guess we can go with what we've got here.
Lead singer: I'll go get your key while you're setting up. Where is it?
Drummer: Errr.........I think it's either at the rehearsal room or the club
(where they played last night)
Me: (to lead singer) So did you decide how many songs you're going to want
to record today?
Lead singer: We're not sure....probably around 10. You think we can get that
done in 3 hours? Are we on the clock now because of the drum thing?

Wow, I haven't worked with a drummer that smart in years! You're lucky to
have guys like that coming into the studio.

You should have offered to let him rent your spare key for $25. :)
