About

Just what it says. You can string these together in various combinations in order to speak drum more fluently, which I can't do yet. And I've purposely left off some of the more x-rated ones.

A related list is here.

  • chained_bear That rumpapumpum sound definitely goes on a list for rope-tension snare sounds. Scottish snares don't make rumpapumpum sounds--they leave that for the tenors and basses. :)

    I'll definitely consider the Northern Territory next practice. Milikapiti looks particularly useful. Jul 10, 2008

  • bilby If you're not an expert drummer yet, may I suggest you try some Northern Territory toponyms. How about Angbangbang? Milikapiti? Angurugu? Milingimbi? Jul 10, 2008

  • bilby What's the thing the Little Drummer Boy does? Is it ruppa pa pum? On his bum? Jul 10, 2008

  • chained_bear Ohh... right. Thanks! Jul 10, 2008

  • reesetee Don't go there. You'll end up with testicular cancer. Jul 10, 2008

  • chained_bear Aww, Pro, that's perfect! I'm going to write lyrics for it using only Stupid Drumming Terms! :) It won't make much sense, because I don't speak drum. (Yet.)

    Trip-a-let tap trip-a-let
    Coconut flamadiddle
    Jugga jugga jugga dut
    Paraflamdle flamadiddle flam
    Jdut jdut Coconut eskimo
    Irish whiskey jrrrrrrat dat!

    It could also work to that Chim-Chiminy Chim-Chiminy song thing in Mary Poppins, I imagine. Jul 10, 2008

  • reesetee Chained_bear, do you need a lozenge? Jul 10, 2008

  • skipvia A Motown fan would have to add "papa cita papa cita" to this list. Jul 10, 2008

  • dontcry You might want to consider drinking heavily, first. I listened to it for about 15 seconds and wanted to cut my ears off. Jul 10, 2008

  • Prolagus I'm trying to use all of them in this song. Jul 10, 2008
