drum captain

A guy who is usually a huge dick. One becomes drum captain because of seniority, regardless of musical skill. The band director usually lets the drum captain get away with anything. Assigns himself the best parts in songs while everybody else gets shit on and put on cymbals.
Drum Captain: Hey, I'm putting you on bells despite the fact you're a better musician than I am for this song while me and my friends are gonna play snare.

Other Percussionist: Dude, fuck you. Bells only play for 13 measures in the entire song.

Captain: But you can read music.

Percussionist: Not my fault you can't.

Captain: You're a faggot.

Percussion: At least I'm not a huge dick.

Goblin on drums

A type of cellar-dweller that is characterized by owning a drum set, or some other type of musical instrument, this giving him an overinflated sense of coolness. Behaviors include bragging to people about being hungover at work, and drawing undue attention to their personal appearance (e.g., "check out my sweet, sweet auburn hair!")
Wow, listen to Sean talk about how cool he is just because he plays the drums. He's such a goblin on drums, he still lives with his parents in a room that has carpet on the walls.

Harriet realized it was time to go when she let a short pre-shit rip out while sitting on the couch. She headed to the bathroom and upon sitting down gave a little push, and out came The Drum Roll before the big event.
