A group of talented musicians, boys AND girls, who play percussion instruments on the field. Despite what the rest of the marching band might think, the drumline CAN read music and normally will throw down beats on demand. The drumline is the backbone and the heartbeat of a marching band and without it all the other cocky musicians wouldn't be able to keep time. The rest of the band is intimidated by the drumline because the drumline knows how to play ten times the amount of instruments they do, and spends more time practicing than they could even imagine.

Get the drumline mug.Drum and Bass (commonly abbreviated to D&B or DnB) is a type of electronic dance music which emerged in the mid 1990s. The genre is characterized by fast breakbeats (typically between 160–190 bpm, occasional variation is noted in older compositions), with heavy bass, sub-bass lines, and occasional infra-bass lines. Drum and bass began as an offshoot of the United Kingdom rave scene of the very early 1990s. Over the first decade of its existence, the incorporation of elements from various musical genres lent to many permutations in its overall style.

The best (and loudest) part of the marching band. Drumline practice is sometimes productive but mostly its just sitting around and making perverted jokes. Most of the marching band wishes they were us and/or think we are HAWT ;)

Get the drumline mug.A place where all individualality and self worth is drained from the souls of teens too fucked on drugs to notice, the skirts are higher than any females grades and the staff often spend lunchtimes to pray to Hitler and the devil. In other words a complete and utter shit hole.

Get the dromana secondary mug.Possibly the most annoying gun in any video game ever. It has a huge magazine,high fire rate and damage count. Deadly at close range and it's extremely common. But hey, the event was cool.

Get the Drum gun mug.The primitive description; a drum loop played over a bass line (definition cut down to its utter least).A product of England (mainly London and Bristol) D&B is said to be the most technical form of music of today (with the most complicated drum logarithms/sequences/patterns and loops even heard).
It became big in the 90's with the rave culture.
There are many differing styles, some more slower and ambient forms are common place on tv ad's and commercials, and is often heard in the background.
It is now more known to be a more intellectual form of electronic music thats deep and meaningful compared to other forms of (modern dance) music. The faster (140bpm+) style obviously attracted the club culture, but the more diverse sub-genres can include jazz,reggae,latin,hiphop or samba vibes.
More recent chart D&B success includes DJ Marky & XS, Jaimeson, and Puretone.
The 90's saw the Prodigy with "charly" become a supreme example of DnB.
This genre is still relativley underground, which is probably the best place for it. It can be a rather explicit form of music, that suits the youth of today and their life style.

Get the drum and bass mug.A drum bowl is weed and tobacco in the same bowl. Usually smoked out of a bong. Causes the smoker to feel a head rush as well as get high from the marijuana. Experienced drum bowl smokers don't get the same head rush that you feel when you first smoke it but still get the effects of the nicotine. "Drum" comes from the brand of tobacco that was first used for this method. The best drum bowls are made when you grind the weed in a grinder and then distribute the tobacco evenly, about 60% marijuana 40% tobaccs. The proper ratio is commonly disputed but it all depends on preference of taste and wanted effects. Any rolling tobacco will work, the higher quality the better.
