Not quoted by a drummer, but by a keyboard player.

Q. How many drummers does it take to screw in a light bulb?

A. None. We have machines to do that now.

Hey Happy ~ That would require a good bit of searching - probably more so in late 70s / early 80s retro music magazines when the controversy was fresh.

As I was around back then :eek: I remember that a few famous folk took it as a challenge and learned how to program superior drum parts (compared to non-drummers) - and were much in demand for those abilities. Unfortunately, no names come to mind.

However, here's a 2008 forum link I found that discusses the topic a good bit :

Worth the read & it might lead you to search some things out.
