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.
