oh yeah! indeed
Drums are good, love the sound of drums, drums are energizing, loved the videos
But somehow this made my mine waunder a bit, lol

[Joiedevivre]

indeed... don't even need to listen to those drums, you caught the spirit.

Fantastic, absolutely! I'd imagine the drums came before the poem?

Read your words first, then watched/heard the video; then, I re-read your words more quickly as if each line was a beat on the drum .. even more fantastic!

I love the sound of drums, they're like heart beats, everyone is different, different, different! One gets the feeling of energy from a drummer as if he or she are sharing life with you. In the video the players create real drama, standing in such a way, leaning into the 'instrument', faces, bodies intent, strained yet controlled .. amazing stuff. Equally your poem has amazing movement but in a near structured way .. so clever, Chris .. unique theme too
