A man went on vacation to a remote island. As soon as he got off the plane, he heard drums and thought, “wow, this is cool. Very native.” However, the drums never stopped. He heard them when he went to the beach, when he ate dinner, even while he tried to sleep.
This went on for several nights. In frustration, he went down to the office and asked the manager, “don’t the drums ever stop?”
The manager replied, “No! Drums must never stop. Very bad if drums stop.”
“Why? What could be worse than this constant clatter?”
“When drums stop… bass solo.”
Then the drums stopped.
