Nothing more confusing to a band than a drummer that can pipe, or a piper that can drum!!
True story:
I'm standing next to Drummie at the Games when a fellow starts chatting me up, saying he'd always wanted to play the pipes, but hadn't even an ounce of musical talent. In a voice sure to be overheard, I replied "Well, as you haven't any musical talent, have you ever considered becoming a Drum Major?"
