paedophile drum 

Paedophile drum (AKA: lion's roar/fart machine/groan drum/sweaty-arse machine)

The Paedophile drum consists of an upside-down floor tom with a string attatched to the bottom skin of the drum. The other end of the drum is open. To make a sound, a piece of leather is pulled up against the string so it vibrates and makes an unusual sound.
NB: It may be hard to make a sound if the string is not lubricated first (e.g with rosin, wax, vaseline..)
It can be heard in certain pieces for percussion group and often in orchestral music by the modern composer Varese.
A: Did you just fart?? You dirty bastard
B: No, that was my paedophile drum.

marching bass drum 

An type of drum in the drumline of a marching band that is big, tilted 90 degrees to its side, and strapped to the marcher's chest. They are heavy instruments, the lightest being 20 pounds, and the heaviest being 45 pounds. There are usually 3,4, or 5 bass drums on a drumline, and the pitches are different on the drums with the smallest being the highest and the biggest being the lowest. Bass drum players are usually males, as they carry the big, heavy instruments and make loud sounds with their mallets. These males are badass, as they are on the drumline, they are hot, they are funny people who pull jokes, and attract a lot of attention, usually from the color guard, of how sexy hitting a bass drum is.
Color guard #1: Check out that marching bass drum player's ass.

Color guard captain: DAYUM, he sexy.

Color guard #2: Man, bass drummers are so badass
