Been reading up on drums, and found that there is a part of the anatomy of a drumset which is separate from the drums themselves but placed on them to control the sound quality, which are rings placed above the drum covers (I may be clumsy about the technical application). One piece of text I found which uses the phrase in its context is also highly technical, but it is: The Remo Muff’ls are an adaptation of the foam "ring-on-drumhead" concept made popular years ago by Dead Ringers…remember them? However, instead of being glued on with peel-and-stick adhesive like Dead Ringers, Muff’ls are held in place by the head and are thus reusable. For some applications, especially on marching bass drums, peel-and-stick foam is still popular (and guess what, we sell them! TS-14 Bass Drum Tone Strips).

I also think after considering all the anatomy parts that go into drums themselves, that this could lead to interpreting the general construction of "What Part Of My Body Hurts The Most" to include such concept in drums, as if a drumkit is like a body. :-)
Anyone here who drums and/or knows about drums, what other drum references do you hear in Jim's songs that only a drummer would know?
