The beat
The core
The very heart
The place where rhythm has its start
The traps
The snares
Skins alive
Swishing britches
Eatin’ sticks alive, live, live
[unknown] with the grooves
Proud then staccato
In double rhythm
With a booming bass

High break sky low
Maintains the tempo
Both heads proud that’s place
Gleaming-a-clanging pegs
Quivers alive in love with the snares

Shallow one, one headed drum with the loose metal discs
Strange rhythm produced with the hands and the wrists
a-Rockers rattling in a lively measure
People of the chorus in [unknown]
Three-sided rod, a jingles when tapped
Not often use, it’s part of the traps
Percussion extenuates the sound
Throbbing, pulsating, pounding, pounding, pounding

Vivisection for the [unknown]
The beat
The core
The heart
The heart
The heart
The heart
The heart
The heart
The heart
