DRUMMER HAS TOUGHEST J0B OF BANDSMEN There Are Many Things Besides Beating Cowhide ‘ By GEORGE TUCKER | NEW YORK, June wanted to be a drummer not any more. I found out from Charlie Car- roll, Al Donahue’s drummer boy. The first man in the band to arrive and the last to leave is the drum- mer. If he has all the instruments he must have to be a good drum- mer, it takes a ten-ton truck to move him. And his instrumental overhead would make a violinist with a brace of Strads look like a penny-pinching piker. One of the dustiest jokes around a band is for the boys to gather around and watch the drummer set up or “break down” and wise- crack: “Aren’t you sorry you didn’t study the flute?” I was not alone in that busins of wanting to be a drummer boy, though.
