My Drum
When I feel the aggravation
When I feel the old frustration
I go into my room
And hit my drum (hit it)
When I feel the time approaching
And deep inside a big explosion
I pick up my sticks
And hit my drum (kick it)
I don’t need no tranquilizers, no
running down to Dr Myer’s
If I’m sick it’s cause
I miss my drums (yeah)
Na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na Na na na
Na na na na na na na
When I lay me down to sleep
There’s one thing I wish to keep
I keep within my reach
My set of drums
Oh yeah
Drums
Kick it – hit it – huh oh
As a kid (and now as an adult), I would find great emotional relief as I started to play my drums. My brothers knew this (especially when I was feeling anxious, frustrated or worried), and they wrote this song about me. I find it interesting that my son Marcus (who is a great bass player) tends to pick up his bass, especially when he is feeling emotional. Marcus has helped me to remember that no matter how young or old we are, we all need to let go and do something that is fun and stress reducing. - Jay Osmond
