Booty drum

A musical instrument typically played by hand upon a gluteus maximus. Drumstricks are highly discouraged.

Wow, I didnt realize I had a booty drum proclaimed Isabel. I thought you could only play this song on a snare drum.

drum-circle jerk

A thoughtless and generally narcissistic freestyle musician that frequents parties with the soul intent of hijacking the gathered crowd for his own need of an admiring audience. Typically, the musician will arrive with an instrument (drum, accoustic guitar, or didgeridoo) in hand, find the most densely populated area of the party, and proceed to play, despite the activities or interest of the people around him. Often, they will play with their eyes closed and conveniently ignore the jeers and looks of disapproval. Other musicians may be invited to play, but will quickly find themselves challenged by technique or speed in order to establish the better musician.

He started playing his drums in the middle of the living room, with complete disregard for the people that were chatting and enjoying each others company. I will never invite that drum-circle jerk to a party again!

drum machine

An electronic device designed to sequence sounds (kick drum, snare, etc.) to a pattern. Drum machines commonly have only 4 measures (with 4 beats). Drum machines are most commonly used by hip-hop and techno producers.

I just sequenced a kick drum on the first beat of each measure and a snare drum to the last two beats of the measure on my drum machine.

Drum Corps-aoke

A current fad where drum corps use amplified vocalists to accompany their brass and percussion sections in competition.

"Drum Corps-aoke is just another sign of desperation."

drummer

Someone who can kick ass behind a drum set and stir up excitement in an audience. A drummer can rock you or soothe you, depending on the song. A gentle song needs a drummer that can create a happy flow. Often real drummers make people want to jump up and dance. Drummers play a full set of rock drums: at least one snare, at least 2 tom toms and one or 2 floor toms, 3 or more cymbals, plus a high-hat and a bass drum. More of any can be added any time. Chimes, gongs, orchestral bells and cowbells have also seen some pretty hard-hitting from drummers. There are some drummers that could be called drummers that play other styles of music than rap and rock, but they tend to be rare. Like, is Charlie Watts really a drummer when he plays jazz – give me a break.

Altho drummers don't always practice, they remain true to a genuine spirit of hard-hitting cooperation with other members of their bands, driving them ahead. They are also influenced by the music coming from other instruments and incorporate it into the overall experience, hence helping to shape the music. This is why other members of the band should always play well, since they are influencing the drummer.

Drummers have the Power of Rock 'n' Roll at their command.

We went to see Trail of Death (or some new band in town) and the drummer kicked ass!
