[NewMusic] which reminds one of a drummer joke

[andrew wilshusen]

just in case any non-drummers didn't get this joke, I
notated and attached it.  as you can see, this really
helps clarify the punchline.  note i took care to use
the mozambique pattern Gadd made famous and assumed a
son clave although that is not specified (and as you
know, mozambique typically uses rumba clave).

actually i just needed to distract myself from
photoshop editing for a sec....
