1. If you don’t have one, develop a sense of rhythm.

It’s for the health of your relationship, really. Rhythm lessons sound cute and fun but there’s no quicker way to test the patience of your beau than clapping off-beat to whatever song is playing.

2. They will “play drums” on everything.The steering wheel, the arm of the couch, their keyboard, the table the air, your butt… The list goes on.

3. At shows, stand near the front corner of the stage.

By standing at the far corner, you’ll get the best possible view of your S.O. while they play their set. Standing front-and-center will give you a great view of the frontman who so notoriously blocks the view of the real prize.

4. Drums are a real instrument.

Do not, even jokingly, suggest otherwise.

5. Holding hands can be risky business.

Holding hands while you’re in the car can be sweet until a uptempo song comes on and your arms are suddenly being flailed around to the beat.

6. They are great multi-taskers.

Drums require great time management and coordination skills. These easily translate into other aspects of their lives, which really benefits your relationship!

7. Cymbals are expensive.

While nothing in their kit comes cheap, cymbals are usually prized possessions that should be treated with a tender love.

8. Drummers are tough.

On top of the physical endurance they need to play their instrument, drummers also tend to get the short end of the stick within their band. They can definitely take a joke or two.

9. They are smart.

Drums are a sport for the body and mind. They have a lot to remember and studies have shown that keeping a steady rhythm can actually help improve brain function!


10. They’re undeniably the best band member to date.

If you’re looking for a serious relationship (or a fun fling) you should chase after a drummer! They are leaders who have a lot to offer.

11. Finally, they break sticks, not hearts.

The kind of love they can give you is undeniably worth putting up with the noise and endless hours spent in music shops.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
