A man is shipwrecked on a tropical island
He wanders along the beach and finds a village. The villagers are friendly, and take him in. He enjoys life in the village, except for one thing. All day and all night, he can hear the sound of drums from up in the hills.
One day he asks the chief, "What is the deal with those drums? It never stops. I can't sleep."
The chief says, "When drums stop, very bad."
After another week, it's driving him crazy. He says to the chief, "Isn't there some way to make them stop beating drums? Could I go up there and talk to them?"
The chief says, "When drums stop, very bad."
Another week goes by, and the guy says, "I'm at the end of my rope here. I haven't had a decent nights sleep since I got here. OK, you say it's bad when the drums stop. What happens that's so bad?"
"Bass solo."
