Drum Set

Music.

A bond between man and instrument.

The wooden sticks cradled in your hand.

The soft foot pedal of the bass drum cushioning your foot

from the floor.

The shine of the metal and the clang of the cymbals under your thoughts.

An instrument of feeling.

It is not an instrument but a second musician by your side,

guiding you.

The notes on the page that don’t seem like notes

but directions on how to make the perfect sound.

The thought.

The motion.

The effect.

That is how an instrument is supposed to be.

A bond between man and instrument.
