Colloquial description of an item (document, schedule, contract, etc.) that cannot be altered without great effort (and possibly some destructiveness) for one reason or another.
Probably derived from how the ten commandments (Exodus 22:* in your bible) were produced on stone tablets, as it requires effort to modify a document that is etched into stone.
See also set in jello for a good opposite.

A drum set is a configuration of different sized drums, generally consisting of a snare drum, bass drum, and three toms.
There are two different set styles, the most common being the rock configuration. These have 12, 14, and 16 inch toms, usually a 22" bass drum, 14" snare, and 14" hi-hats. The other set-up is the fusion configuration. The toms are 10, 12, and 14 inches, the bass drum is usually 18", and hi-hats are generally 13 inches.
The rock configuration uses the bigger and deeper toms for a more full effect, a taller bass drum for a more "punchier" feel, and 14" hi-hats for a controlled splash. Some rock sets even have larger toms, so that there are 2 floor toms.
Fusion sets, most commonly used for jazz, on the other hand, have smaller toms to create less of a punch, but the toms are only 2 inches apart from each other, so they are more uniform. The Smaller bass drum and hi-hats are used for a controlled, responsive feel.
While drumming may just look like random smashing that takes no talent whatsoever, this is completely untrue. Drumming is in fact a talent, as it takes great co-ordination to have all four of your limbs doing different actions at once. Drummers also have to have great timing, since they are the driving force in a band's backbone.

A rock/pop/indie band straight out of Arizona. Brian Dales on vocals, John Gomez on guitar, Jessica Bowen on drums, Stephen Gomez on bass, and Josh Montgomery on guitar. Their ages range from 18-20 and they are enthusiastic, have tons of energy, and love meeting their fans. Bring them food if you see them on tour, they often have the munchies. If you ever have a problem, blame it on Brian, he deserves it.

I didn't want to get the carpet wet from walking outside in the rain so I grabbed some grocery sets to tie on my shoes.
