Be yourself. Everybody else is already taken.


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

I love to play the drums, and always liked to write sonnets. This is the result. Critique, support and good votes appreciated!
