Jokes aren't just for drummers ....

A guy bought a vacation trip to an exotic Pacific island resort. As the cruise ship headed into the harbor our friend could hear the native drumbeat in the distance adding to the atmosphere. Very cool he thought.

As the ship pulled into the wharf at the harbor the drumming was now much louder and more prominent. The guy asked a crew member "When does the drumming stop ?" ... the crew member said "The drumming must not stop" and just ran off.

He went to his hotel and checked in and now the native drumming continued louder than ever. He asked a hotel porter how long the drumming would continue. The porter said "The drumming must not stop" and ran away.

Well the drumming continued for the next 3 days and nights the guy was staying there. He was unable to get a wink of sleep or an answer about when the drumming would stop. He eventually checked out and was glad to be leaving after such a sleepless vacation. On the was out he was determined to get an answer to his question. He firmly grabbed a hotel employee so he couldn't run away and asked him "What will happen if the drumming stops ???" .... the hotel employee said "Bass Solo !!!" .....
