- Cloud: What do you think?
- Larisa: Hmm, the drums were out of sync, and the guitar was too loud.
- Larisa: But there are still four weeks until the school festival. You’ll surely ace the song before then!
- Sebastian: I’ll get something to drink.
- Sandra: May I play the drums a bit?
- Cloud: Sure.
- Cloud: Hey, good rhythm!
- Theo: Very nice!
- Cloud: Hi, Pete Best, may I introduce you to Ringo Starr?
- Sebastian: ?

Well, if they add other player and Cloud goes to the bass while the new player got the keyboards our (second) favourite couple may be survive 😉
insert “he’s not even the best drummer in the Beatles” joke
Well sure, but who owns the drum kit, hmmm?
Okay, that was just cruel :P.
Ouch!
Thanks for the nod to we aged Beatles fans who have known the group for almost 60 years.😉
Ask Ringo whether she’ll do it before you sack Pete. Johnny Hutchinson won’t dep forever.
I wonder if Zoey is gonna have a band too on that school festival. Is it gonna be like a “Battle of the Bands” contest?
@ Cromm:
I think that Larissa should say, “… ace the song before then.”, rather than, “… ace the song until then.”
Thanks for all the great comics!
Warm regards, Rick.
Drums are never out of sync. Drums ARE the beat. It’s up to everyone else to figure out what the drums are trying to do.
@ Lookfar:
Hmm not really… if it wander all over the place it CAN be out of sync especially if the various drums are not in sync with each other…
Sure it’s not Nyango Star? 😛

I was not serious. I guess I failed my irony roll.

@ Lookfar:
*Raises hand* I got the jo~ke.
Many great bands were formed this way.
Ouch.
You misspelled Yoko Ono. 😉
@ Lookfar:
Just like a wizard is never late?
You’re breaking up the band Yoko!
Don’t need to sing to be a star, huh? ))
I still think about that interview
“Do you think Ringo is the best drummer in the world?”
“Ringo isn’t even the best drummer in The Beatles.”
Aw c’mon! No breaking up the band on the first day!
@ Lookfar:
Nah, Bass is the beat. That’s why I’m always so annoyed with the plucky ‘show-off’ bassists you see every so often. Like, yeah, it’s impressive that you can play an anti-synchopated rhythm on harmonics, but you’re not doing your JOB!
Not for nothing but someone else giving a 3rd party permission to noodle on the drummer’s kit. That’s just a recipe for an explosion. I roadied for a half dozen bands back in the day and drummers were insane about their kits being sacred ground.
@ Hhound42:
Same principle, yes.
Another good one – not AS good, since it’s baseball nor music – would be Lou Gehrig and Wally Pipp I think it was.
@ Anvildude:
Difference being, when the bass goes off on a riff, the audience says “Wow! Polymetric!” When it’s the drums, the audience says “Well, that’s off.”
Commenters mentioning Yoko Ono have got the wrong context.
When Ringo replaced Pete Best, the Beatles became a world-conquering band. When Yoko (and Linda) came in, the band broke up.
Isn’t this Pete is the same guy as in this strip?

At least they are similar.

You either get polyrythmic or you don’t. Besides most of those are just an upright bass fiddle on it’s side. It’s not just the beat…it’s way more than the beat.
