You click your sticks together at the start
Then start a beat while keeping it all straight
The snare, the toms, the cymbals, it's an art
You must be quite athletic to be great
The beatkeeper of the guitar and bass
You must have nimble hands to do it well
You cannot stray from your said beat with haste
Or playing the drums becomes a living hell
You kick your feet just when it's the right time
And hit the crash if you want an accent
It doesn't have to sing, it doesn't rhyme
But great tempo's what makes you excellent
Now drumming's not that easy, but read here
We are what makes that music good to hear

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
