For a drum
You have to make a sound
To strike, smack, vocalize
To drop, shake, roll
For a drum
You have to have an idea
A rhythm
Something jumping around in your head
Thriving on imagination
Pleading to be free
For a drum
You must show emotion
All of the different sounds coming together
Presenting thoughts, feelings, movement
Anger, dance, serenity
For a drum
You have to have a desire
A want to captivate others
A need to become the music
A love for the music
