Give Me Drums

“It’s good for you.”

“It’s sophisticated.”

“It requires years of practice and dedication to master.”

“It’s just so beautiful and complex.”

“It’s so sad more people don’t appreciate it.”

“These instruments really capture the mind as well as the heart.”

“Truly, our society has fallen when ‘WAP’ gets more hits than this.”

“I never feel truly relaxed until I hear this.”

“It’s like food for the brain.”

---- classical music fans arguing on behalf of centuries of sophistication and ‘culture’

“DRUMS!”

“Yes! I feel like I could play and sing along!”

“Is that throat singing? It sounds so primal.”

“Digging those drums, though.”

“I think I love bardic metal - wait, is that a thing?”

“I like their cover of Seven Nation Army, honestly.”

“It’s the drums.”

“I could row the Atlantic to this.”

“Hell, I can feel the battle march, it’s like I’ve died to this over and over again.”

“It’s like centuries of my past lives thrumming in harmony.”

“Is this tribal? Man, this is great.”

“I love how you can take a beat from any country and they just work.”

“Ooh, tribal chanting, yes! It takes a village!”

“I LOVE DRUMS!”

--- my old soul, listening to decidedly NOT classical music from a wide range of backgrounds and cultures all even older than classical music, and not missing a damn thing
