Things I've Learned from Ringo Starr
The first in an on-going series.
The night before a 'gig,' it is always a good idea to store your drumsticks in the freezer until needed. This will allow maximum heaviosity on your downbeat.
Accidents may happen during a show and as the sticks thaw out, you may lose one as it flies into the crowd. So always freeze a spare stick just in case. It may seem odd to others when you arrive for the job carrying three drumsticks and you may be subject to ridicule - but better safe than sorry.
If you continue to have problems holding onto the drumsticks, liberally cover your hands with talcum powder and put on latex gloves.
Remember, drummers are both the backbeat and the backbone of any band.

So drumsticks are like hockey pucks?
Yep, slippery when wet. Don't be stingy with the talc.
Ringo... the wisdom drips from him.
It is a crying shame the Beatles are dying in reverse merit order. Soon only the wanker Macca will be left.
