A Drum Roll (King of Paradidlia)

When life is a bummer
Go find yourself a happy drummer... like this guy!

He will drum on the table and drum on his knee
The rhythm never leaves him, it won't let him get free
He is tapping on the counter and tapping on the wall
The beats are always in him, he couldn't rest at all

He has a lively back-beat played upon a snare
and a soft she shuffle that is barely there
Hi-hat, cymbals, big bass drum
A blast beat, a buzz roll a rum pa pum pum

The double stroke roll is in perfect time
He can drag, drop and fill... his fanning is fine

With 4 on the floor and the grip of a vice
Hardware or software, it all comes out nice

He can kick like a mule and lick like a cat
He can whip like a sadist and sizzle like hot fat szzzz

He will sit on his throne
He has such velocity
Rim click, rim shot and new technology
A simple strike or something more fiddlier
He is the King of Paradidlia
