If his mum had said "He's pretty shit hot."
Or even "He once had me in the back of an old bedford van" then fair dos.

Perhaps I'm being drearily pedantic, but there have only been about half a dozen "quite famous" drummers in the whole of musical history. Being notable on Wikipedia or allmusic.com isn't quite the same.

No offence to drummers or owt. Not that they'd be able to read this anyway.

I agree.
You're being drearily pedantic.

I thought it was a nice story. And this is unlikely to have ever happened with John Bonham, Charlie Watts, Ringo Starr, Keith Moon, Art Blakey, Dave Grohl, Phil Collins, Stewart Copeland, Jimmy Cobb (will that do? It's 6 even without the two jazz drummers), as they are either American or too rich and famous to be hanging out teaching drums at schools in Derbyshire or wherever.

Cheer up! Even some of the stories with spelling mistakes are quite enjoyable, if you can tell yourself it doesn't matter.

I'm awful and I must be stopped.

Yup.
Drearily (maybe a bit predictably) pedantic.
