Member of the band with the most stress. Spends the entire time terrified that they will get sick and lose their voice. Mocked by the majority of the drumline. Will not eat or sleep until band season is over (anywhere from 3-6 months) and might end up medicated by the time it's over. Cringes when band director comes toward them. When something goes wrong with the tempo, band director will blame it on them. When something goes wrong with ANYTHING, band director will blame it on them. Usually seen with a metronome within a 5 ft radius of them. Hears metronome clicking in their nightmares. Yet they love every single moment of it. Might be nervous about going outside their original section, but comes to love every person in the band and feels as if they know them all personally. If they are nice, band members will love them back, even if they suck at being drum major (aside from few jerks who have never taken a drum major lesson in their life and like to criticize every move the drum major makes)
Band director: "The tempo dragged that time. Don't let that happen"
Drum major: *yeah, with my magical make-the-band-watch-me-skills??*

When a person is driving while listening to music, and rhythmically thumping on the steering wheel, as if playing the drums to the beat of the music. Most often observed at stop lights; also the person's lips are normally viewed attempting to sing or mouth the words to the song. On rare occasions, you may actually hear the person's voice and/or hear the 'thumps' of them drumming the steering wheel. On very rare occasions the person will close their eyes and raise their neck up to emphasis a high note, thus sitting at the stop light, even after the light turns green.
OMG, Robert, look at that girl sitting at the stop light singing and pounding away on her steering wheel; She's definately Drum Driving today! If she doesn't open her eyes soon, she's going to sit there through the green light!

Similar to air guitar, air drumming is when one pretends to play the drums as if they are holding sticks and have a drum kit in front of them when in fact, they do not.
Look at Jim... he's totally air drumming to his iPod.

A musical instrument invented by Dennis Havlena in June, 2007. Made by cutting "slits" in the bottom of a propane tank, the slits produce mystical tones when played with hands or soft mallets, similar to a Hang.
Man, that hank drum sounds good!
Apart from being the title and featuring in the lyrics to a crappy 1990s song by the crappier 1990s Brit rave dance music gravy train riders called The Shamen, no one actually knows the meaning.
'What the fuck is a Boss drum?' I inquired. 'Nothing,' came the reply. 'No one knows. No one cares.'
;That's a really nice Boss Drum you get there,' said no one ever.
American Siberia. The coldest place on fucking earth, known for its loose and large women, its multiple deployed brigades, and its shitty slogans (the Army's best kept secret). Also known for the best place to remand someone you dislike.
Dude! Did you hear?? Specialist A just got Fort Drum'd!

A drum set is a configuration of different sized drums, generally consisting of a snare drum, bass drum, and three toms.
There are two different set styles, the most common being the rock configuration. These have 12, 14, and 16 inch toms, usually a 22" bass drum, 14" snare, and 14" hi-hats. The other set-up is the fusion configuration. The toms are 10, 12, and 14 inches, the bass drum is usually 18", and hi-hats are generally 13 inches.
The rock configuration uses the bigger and deeper toms for a more full effect, a taller bass drum for a more "punchier" feel, and 14" hi-hats for a controlled splash. Some rock sets even have larger toms, so that there are 2 floor toms.
Fusion sets, most commonly used for jazz, on the other hand, have smaller toms to create less of a punch, but the toms are only 2 inches apart from each other, so they are more uniform. The Smaller bass drum and hi-hats are used for a controlled, responsive feel.
While drumming may just look like random smashing that takes no talent whatsoever, this is completely untrue. Drumming is in fact a talent, as it takes great co-ordination to have all four of your limbs doing different actions at once. Drummers also have to have great timing, since they are the driving force in a band's backbone.
A drum set is a necessity to any band
