My Fender 212R 100W 2x12 Guitar Combo Amplifier keeps on cutting out. The guy I took it to says there is something wrong with the cylinders? I also could have heard that wrong. I honestly don't know much about amps, and was wondering if I could get a second opinion. Also, my amp was close to a very loud bass drum while playing it. Could that have anything to do with the problem?

You had best get a second opinion! When somebody says "there is something wrong" means they don't really know the details enough to give you an estimate even. If the amp cuts out sharply I would suspect that: 1. Bad volume control 2. Cracked circuit board 3. Bad solder joint on circuit board 4. Bad jack. These are in order from least to most likely.
