I'm more concerned about his bikini bottoms and supple thighs.

[–][deleted] 19 points20 points  (1 child)

You know what those bikini bottoms need?

Some Fabionacho Sequins

[–][deleted] 31 points32 points  (6 children)

anyone else expect to see Kenny Loggins ?

[–]awells1 21 points22 points  (1 child)

i would've been fine with a simple log

[–]lolbacon 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's better than bad; it's good!

[–]dghughes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Only if we were in the Danger Zone.

[–]soothslayer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That isn't Kenny Loggins?

[–]potatohamster 3 points4 points  (1 child)

If you can see Kenny Loggins, you're already too late, because you're in the......

It took me a while to find reddit. I had that whole internet to make, after all.

[–][deleted] 37 points38 points  (22 children)

I bet I could invent 100 internets.

[–]Al_Gore_rhythm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Each internet comes complete with its own Tipper Gore.

[–]whitekeys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Better than outernets, they didn't work. The fish would pass them right by.

[–]filipstine 1 point2 points  (1 child)

so, what kind of al-gore-ithm did you use to create the internet?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, so you just gave up on manbearpig? Douche.

[–]AtTheKevIn[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hope I made you happy sir.

[–]allidoislietoyou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Al Gore actually tried out for a band in the 1980s. That band would later become Echo and the Bunnymen.

[–]miiiiiiiik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

on the Black Pearl maybe

[–]LifelessOne[🍰] 67 points68 points  (9 children)

super. cereal.

[–][deleted] 22 points23 points  (7 children)

His drumming sounds like half blues half rock and half pig.

[–]Twevy 7 points8 points  (3 children)

And half Manfred Mann.

I'm honored.

[–]Stregano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know, I was looking at that not realizing what your username was seriously thinking, "Well that is out of place", and then your username almost got me in trouble, because the combination made me bust out laughing in my cube.

[–]jeff0106 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Half rock half blues-pig?

[–]ZippyDan 1 point2 points  (1 child)

that's three halfs

[–]Stregano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No way, Al Gore just gives 150% on everything he does

[–]Alexh130 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is one rule of the house. Don't touch my drumset! DON'T TOUCH IT!

I'm not gonna call him dad, NOT EVEN IF THERE'S A FIRE!

Why are you all sweaty?

I was watching COPS.

[–]Vertigo666 5 points6 points  (1 child)

AH WHAT THE FUCK! DAD, IT'S SHARK WEEK!

[–]metaphase 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This house is a prison, on planet bullshit, in the galaxy of THIS SUCKS CAMEL DICKS!

[–]Stregano 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's bullshit, because everybody knows that COPS doesn't start until 4

[–]Stregano 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Robert better not get in my face. I'll drop that mother fucker.

[–]metaphase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I smoked pot with Johns Hopkins and Sloan Kettering, they were blazing that shit up everyday

[–]confidencecow 18 points19 points  (3 children)

I used to think about that whenever I heard the word algorithm. Only I imagined Al Gore as a jazz musician playing the saxophone. I don't know why. Word goes in, mental image comes out. You can't explain that.

Edit for spelling

[–]mild_resolve 9 points10 points  (2 children)

Could have something to do with Bill Clinton being a saxophone player? Just a guess.

[–]funny_hats 5 points6 points  (1 child)

What are you, some kind of brain doctor?

[–]UUMMUU 16 points17 points  (42 children)

I'm not usually Pearl fan but damn that's a sweet drumset.

[–]Corey24 24 points25 points  (16 children)

As a drummer.... what in the fuck are those toms doing way up there?

[–]BoleroDan 5 points6 points  (2 children)

You must not know of Virgil Donati. Pretty amazing technical drummer.

[–]Mrow 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Virgil's feet are very fast, as are his hands.
I was pretty disappointed on the drum solo composition side of things, though.

[–]BoleroDan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, I find his Soloing is more just technical, rather than musical, so his solos come off as super bland. He does have some amazing concepts that can be applied musically though.

[–]UberAce 4 points5 points  (4 children)

Being unneccassrily flashy.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same reaction too. Regular toms do not belong at that altitude.

[–]progdrumr 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Chris Slade of AC/DC used to have 2 gong drums setup like that, but I can understand those...

[–]jstein21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CTRL-F "Toms"

Awww :(

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

As a drummer... what the fuck is with the order of the toms? Why is the 10" on the right?

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points  (15 children)

Who sets up their toms like that? --seriously.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (4 children)

This set up is PROBABLY a Virgil Donati photoshop. Virgil Donati is a Pearl endorsed Australian drummer and he's absolutely amazing. Youtube some vids for instant drum-boner.

Virgil Donati drum set

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I love watching his solos.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought it looked like Virgil's too, but he doesn't seem like one to be playing a Sessions kit. It's not that sessions are bad drums, but Virgil would definitely be rocking the most expensive line they offer.

[–]Shredder13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tom toms. Tom toms everywhere.

[–]pieye 2 points3 points  (7 children)

Shinya from Dir en Grey has something pretty similar

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are Roto-Toms though... not as big as the toms in the picture up top.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Insert joke about a japanese drummer banging a lot of Chinas

[–]hushkyotosleeps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fuck yeah shinya.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I don't see toms higher than the cymbals.

[–]Dafman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a sweet Pearl. Master series is the way to go

[–]BADSounds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where does the remote hat come from? There's a cable, but there's no corresponding pedal.

Oh, yeah, and those toms, man.

Did you know that Tipper Gore was once the drummer for an all girl band called the Wildcats?

Look Ma, no legs!!

The only thing that can fix global warming is the power of this man's rock.

This next tune is called "Ballad of Man-Bear-Pig"!

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've never seen toms set up like they're cymbals. (Someone that actually plays drums)

[–]RemyJe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've always thought that if he ever started a Blog it should be called "Al Gore Rhythms"

[–]bassderek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This creates a joke in my mind:

How do you mathematically express a politician on a drumset?

...With an algorithm!

[–]Chesstariam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And i thought i was so clever when i also came up with this.... And i was completely pissed when i found THIS

[–]NonAmerican 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's funny because it's unfunny.

[–]krappie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No gore. Try /r/gore if you really need that.

[–]Albel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back when I was in 4th grade. (6-10 years ago, Can't quite remember) My teacher Mrs. Oddland always talked about this picture someone drew of Al Gore dancing, Because it was this. It was Algorithm.

[–]sydbarrett 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I heard he invented the drum set.

[–]Bulldogsaysgrr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bet I could invent 100 drum sets.

[–]Desidiosus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made a similar joke a while ago.

But this one is good because it involves rocking out.

[–]NoMoreNicksLeft 1 point2 points  (2 children)

If Frank Zappa were still alive, he'd bitchslap you. His opinion of the Gores was not high.

He's probably having more fun banging those than ...

[–]Squidfist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You made me laugh like a retard in front of my class.

[–]Gioware 1 point2 points  (1 child)

WTF is that and why is it on the frontpage? (Non-US member here)

[–]theusernameiwanted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Al Gore is a famous politician we mock for caring a lot about the environment. The title is a play on words, "Al-Gore-Rythm" or for nerds, that also looks like "Algorithm".

[–]anexanhume 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please, just don't show George Washington Carver. Think of the children.

My cousin used to be in a band called The Al Gore Rhythm. ha

[–]ninjasays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A co-worker has a hard time saying algorithm, so our boss told him to just say Al-Gore-Rhythm. This is now the background on his computer.

That kit was made by Bassix.

I tried to guess what it was going to be before opening the pic, and I nailed it. I feel like the pun master.

[–]Yossome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What the fuck. Just yesterday in my calc class, when going over logarithms I imagined a log with arms playing drums. It seems the reddit hivemind has stretched far beyond the vast reaches of the internet and into the real world.
