So questions 1, 3, 5, 7, 8 and 10 have been answered correctly. That leaves:

- While "cymbal smith" is correct, there's more to the translation than that. Can anyone figure it out?

- "a drum set" isn't going to be good enough to get a correct answer. C'mon guys, what is it???

6) which of the following is NOT considered a rudiment? a. eggbeaters b. book report c. malf d. nanny-ta-ta e. plutnduh

- there are only 5 possible answers here, yet no one has guessed correctly.

9) on the main Drummerworld site (not the discussion forum), whenever you see the “master list” of Top 500 Drummers along the left side of the page, two drummers are listed twice. Which two?

- while Ringo is correct, "Ringo" and "Ringo Starr" do not count as two separate drummers. Who's the other drummer to be listed twice???
 
There are still a few questions that have yet to be answered correctly. Anyone else want to try?

- Hint: I'm looking for more than just "a drum set"
