The fields of percussive arts and computer programming have a long history, dating back to the 60s counterculture's influence on the burgeoning computer science world. What drums does /prog/ use in combination to help them conjure spirits?
I'm rather bland when it comes to the kits I'll bang during an actual programming session. A few snares and a cymbal or two is all I need to get into one of my patented problem solvan, keyboard whackan moods. While attempting to devise a solution to a particularly complex problem or pondering the meaning of something, however, I find it helpful to hit a (thoroughly rehearsed) lick of 16th notes with the toms and experience the true power of human intelligence, raw and unfiltered.
As a 25 year guitar vet I have only to copypasta drummer jokes wherein you will find the truth, lads.
A guy wanted to play bass in a band. The band told him, "Okay, but you will have to have 1/3 of your brain removed." So the guy went into surgery. When he woke up, the doctor said, "I'm terribly sorry, but we made a mistake and accidentally removed 3/4's of your brain!" The guy said, "Uh, that's okay. Got some sticks?"
A man died and soon after, went to Heaven. He discovered Heaven was an endless hallway with doors to the left and right. On the door was your I.Q. number. He went to door 160, and found the people there talking about quantum physics. He slammed the door and went to door 120. He found the people there trying to figure out as many decimal places of pi that they could. He shut the door and went to 80. He found the people in there talking about lastnight's Packer game. He thought to himself, "I'll come back to this one later," and shut the door. He walked all the way down to 16, and found the people in there talking about Sunday's episode of "King of the Hill." He shut the door, and went to door 7. He foung the people in there drooling on each other. Lastly, he went to door 3. He opened the door and heard one of the people say, "My sticks were Zildjian, what were yours?"

Q: What's the difference between a drum machine and a drummer?
A: You only have to punch the information into the drum machine once!

Two girls are walking along when they hear...
"Psst! Down here!"
They both look down and see a frog sitting beside the road. The frog says to them, "Hey, if you kiss me I'll turn into a world famous drummer and make you both rich and famous!" The two girls looked at each other, and one of them reached down and grabbed the frog and stuffed it in her pocket.
The other girl said, "What did you do that for?"
The first replied, "I'm not stupid. I know a talking frog is worth heaps more than a famous drummer any day!!!"

...and finally a little more truth for y'alls sorry drumming asses:
If a dollar bill was laying in the center of a room, and the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, a drummer with good time, and a drummer with bad time were standing in the corners, who would get the money?
The drummer with bad time since the other three don't exist.
