I texted him back a joke ... "How many drummers does it take to tell the sound guy his kick drum has a tear and a hole in it?" 
 
 
 
He wont get it.
 
He's a drummer.
 
I don't get it, so I don't expect he will.
 
Do something visual, like moon at him, or show him a picture of a stupid face.  He's more likely to get that and he's more likely to find it funny.
 
HTH.
 
Anyway I thought it was normal for me to have a hole in my head, it's been there for years.

Back in San Diego when I went to church they always played Classical music so a kick drum wouldn't have gotten used anyway.  They used to have the largest pipe organ on the West Coast until a fire damaged most of it.

Did the organist have to tell the sound engineer it was damaged or did he manage to figure it out himself?

Stop being mean to me. 


Bapu wouldn't have figured it out after the drummer showed him the broken drum head ... 


I got that going for me.

I was playing in a worship band once where my beater ripped through the kick drum head during the service.  I had to finish out the set hitting my floor tom as a temporary kick.  That complicated things a bit.

That's what you get for playing Black Sabbath in church UB!

I have no idea what the song was, but it happened during a guitar solo.
