1. Try to figure out exactly what someone else did on a performance but never play what they played outside of your practice studio.
2. Don’t just plagiarize, after you’ve learned what someone has showed you, take it farther than they did.
3. Never continue to play with another musician that is constantly dictating what you should play. (I have zero tolerance for this.)
4.Always be an equal participant, if you’re not able to be then you need to work on your talent some more.
5. If someone feels it’s necessary to scold you for any reason, always pack up and go home. (This is most effective when you don’t ever return.)
6. Always show up about five minutes earlier than necessary. (This should include ample time for setting up.)
7. Ask questions that challenge anyone you’re learning from.
8. Never follow my rules or anyone else's rules to the letter.

I play, Gretsch Catalina Birch, 7 piece in the vintage sunburst finish.
RIP, Frank. You will not be forgotten. Missing you, mate
is this for gigging drummers? or all of em?
Only exception to rule 3 is if they are handing you a sizeable paycheck for your playing; otherwise, ferget it!
5 1/2: If you are scolded and take your stuff home, be big enough to evaluate yourself once you get gome to see if there is any truth in what they told you. You might have driven them to that point. Learn from it and go on.

What about rule #9- Never let a drunk set in on your kit.

Following James' Rule 9, here's Rule 10.
No-one touches your cymbals without a psychiatric profile and a criminal records check before hand. Also, photo ID helps.
