Drum Quotes

The trouble with poetry is it’s often written to the sound of a drum only the poet may hear; nonetheless, blessed are those poets who always manage to find unshakeable pleasure in their own works Picture Quote #1

I started getting back into buying old analog gear while we were recording. Lots of old drum machines and synths. It wasn’t a conscious thing. I didn’t consider myself a collector, but boxes of vintage gear would turn up virtually every day Picture Quote #1

It’s fun, I didn’t have enough money as a kid to buy a drum set, so I had to do something. I would mimic the sounds. That was it. And it worked. It worked for years Picture Quote #1

I don’t have perfect pitch. My drums sound like a drummer, not a drum machine Picture Quote #1

I write almost every single part of my songs, even the actual drum parts sometimes, whether they be simple or layered with many different instruments Picture Quote #1

To the solemn graves, near a lonely cemetery, my heart like a muffled drum is beating funeral marches Picture Quote #1

I feel like being into the beat of your own drum has become too prominent in the culture Picture Quote #1

Opportunity is a parade. Even as one chance passes, the next is a fife and drum echoing in the distance Picture Quote #1

The sound of the drum drives out thought; for that very reason it is the most military of instruments Picture Quote #1

You can muffle the drum, and you can loosen the strings of the lyre, but who shall command the skylark not to sing? Picture Quote #1

I like things matching. I have an upright bass, a drum kit and a grand piano that’s the same color. I tend to overthink things Picture Quote #1

I have a drum set in my dressing room. I play drums to relax and have some fun Picture Quote #1

I have actually found myself buying up more and more old analogue gear. I have this strange obsession with old drum machines Picture Quote #1

Don’t quit. Never give up trying to build the world you can see, even if others can’t see it. Listen to your drum and your drum only. It’s the one that makes the sweetest sound Picture Quote #1

Everyday courage has few witnesses. But yours is no less noble because no drum beats for you and no crowds shout your name Picture Quote #1

Often the losing of a battle leads to the winning of progress. Less glory but greater liberty: the drum is silent and the voices of reason can be heard Picture Quote #1

I could not extrapolate some emotion from any song after 1997 so I bought a drum machine and popped pills. The pink ones make me funny like elephants! Picture Quote #1

When we are in health, all sounds fife and drum for us; we hear the notes of music in the air, or catch its echoes dying away when we awake in the dawn Picture Quote #1

You can beat the drum so hard that people stop listening. I wanted to use my voice wisely and not expend it wastefully Picture Quote #1

The drum of the realization of the promise is beating, we are sweeping the road to the sky. Your joy is here today, what remains for tomorrow? Picture Quote #1

I can preach until your deaf and dumb, I’m in that soul saving army beating on that big bass drum Picture Quote #1

One time, when I was very little, I climbed a tree and ate these green, sour apples. My stomach swelled and became hard like a drum, it hurt a lot. Mother said that if I’d just waited for the apples to ripen, I wouldn’t have become sick. So now, whenever I really want something, I try to remember what she said about the apples Picture Quote #1

And then there came the pounding of another drum, as if another giant were coming yards behind him, and each giant, intent on his own drum, gave no notice to the rhythm of the other. The sound grew louder and louder until it seemed to fill not just my hearing but all my senses, to be throbbing in my lips and fingers, in the flesh of my temples, in my veins Picture Quote #1

Yes, if you want to say that I was a drum major, say that I was a drum major for justice. Say that I was a drum major for peace. I was a drum major for righteousness. And all of the other shallow things will not matter. I won’t have any money to leave behind. I won’t have the fine and luxurious things of life to leave behind. But I just want to leave a committed life behind. And that’s all I want to say Picture Quote #1

I see nothing. We may sink and settle on the waves. The sea will drum in my ears. The white petals will be darkened with sea water. They will float for a moment and then sink. Rolling over the waves will shoulder me under. Everything falls in a tremendous shower, dissolving me Picture Quote #1

The stillness of the calm is awful. His voice begins to grow strange and portentous. He feels it in him like something swallowed too big for the esophagus. It keeps up a sort of involuntary interior humming in him, like a live beetle. His cranium is a dome full of reverberations. The hollows of his very bones are as whispering galleries. He is afraid to speak loud, lest he be stunned; like the man in the bass drum Picture Quote #1

The world has no room for cowards. We must all be ready somehow to toil, to suffer, to die. And yours is not the less noble because no drum beats before you when you go out to your daily battlefields, and no crowds shout your coming when you return from your daily victory and defeat Picture Quote #1

Somebody gave me this drum machine and somebody else asked me to program something for a project. I really liked programming and I was really interested in using the drum machine Picture Quote #1

I have a simple life. I mean, you just give me a drum roll, they announce my name, and I come out and sing. In my job I have a contract that says I’m a singer. So I sing Picture Quote #1

Yeah, my drum programming especially is based on my knowledge of playing a drum kit. For the bass too, definitely. It was the first thing that I translated any sort of ideas through. It must have shaped it somehow Picture Quote #1
