Listen for the Beat

A one and a two and a three

Sharp beats reign down on the skin of the snare drum

Thump thump thump the foot pedal pushes down

So the boom boom boom can resound from the bass drum

Tapping lightly on the cymbals

Tip tip tip so the vibration circles the room

Tadah duh, Tadah duh. Tadah duh

On the hi hat goes the drum brushes

Stroking the cycmbals gently to the beat.

Buddy Rich ,Cozy Powell, John Bonham

Playing to the beat of their own drum

I hear you loud and clear

And the beat goes on.

The drums are great till you've got a teenager next door practising!

A nice loud poem!

Well this is about my Dad who was a drummer. It was his house so couldn't tell him to stop. I loved it tho.
