Drum Beat

Feeling the rhythm through 

our feet, 

vibrations inching up 

our bodies as we 

listen 

to the cymbals, 

snare and beat, 

and the bass drum 

thumps start 

replacing our own 

heartbeat. 

Sticks bouncing 

and flying from part to 

part, 

the drummer moves not 

only their hands and 

feet but 

their whole body is 

possessed by the 

groove, 

and they're soon just 

dancing to their 

own drum 

beat.

My brother takes drum lessons every Wednesday, and tonight was his end of semester performance/ showcase. There were other performers too, and I find that drumming is the most interesting and engaging as it can vary so much as well as having the beat of the drum almost replicate our own heartbeat.
