Bang patter patter patter bang patter bang bang
Heads snap to attention, snares and skins tight
Tap tap bang roll roll roll roll the drum sang
Powerful strikes pounding pounding take flight
Pulse keeping time, never fading heart beat
Polished shoes scattering across the floor
Armory of drumsticks, a restless fleet
Rhythmic warriors telling of a new yore
Crash of the symbol, bong of the base drum
Eyes of the players all facing straight out
Relying on touch and quick of the thumb
A fast turn, a beat, and a battle shout
None can fathom the way of the Drumline
To fast the pulse, to strong, to brave, to fine.

- Title: Drumline
- Artist: Dark_Passion_Poet
- Description: I wrote this after seeing Mission Viejo's Drumline show, "Indivisible". I really look up to that drumline, and they drive for so much more than a shiny trophy... this poem was for them.
