I Think It's Time For A [DRUM] Revolution.

Ever listen to any modern heavy/death metal, or obscenely angry teenage rock? Well, you should put yourself through it just once or twice, harmful it may be to your hearing and your fragile hearts. Listen, in particular, to the drums. The drums, beating a heavy, mean, constant beat into the young listener's ears, and polluting the air with waves of unmusical hate. As CDS says, "There's no sex. No swing." And I agree. Isn't drumming a form of music? And not just a form, but the original, the most animal, the essential pulse of the song? A repeating BLAMBLAMBLAM that gives the same effect as being beaten in the eardrum with an assault rifle gives no pulse, no rest. Again I quote CDS, "Fire is lame." and continuous, pauseless drumming is simply a flame, no explosions. "Explosions are boss."
So I implore not just drummers, but musicians and music lovers alike, STAGE A REVOLUTION. If the masses can form a collective, we can repeat revolutions of the past, create a musical version of Russia's February Revolution and bring ourselves together to take back drumming like the masses took back the power from the bourgeoisie! Let our ears hear TRUE PERCUSSION, studied, mathematical, precise and still animal, sensual, and sexy. Don't you want to hear real music? Don't you wish the world was a little more calm? I know I do.

So join CDS and I, take down incessantly harmful drumming.

For the music in us all,

MeganAnneDear, in all of her MADness.
