Quaalude Thunder

"That's the shorthand description of a drum fill you hear on certain heavy metal albums--where the guy plays as many notes as he can on all of his thousand tom-toms before he ends with The Big Crash."

-Frank Zappa, The Real Frank Zappa Book

"For example--say I'm talking to Chad Wackerman. I'll tell him, 'The Quaalude Thunder goes here.'"

-Frank Zappa, The Real Frank Zappa Book
