I took drum lessons my senior year in HS and served as drum major that year (1974 NWHS, RH, SC) So whenever I perform this song I sing it imitating a drum roll prrrrrrr rmmmm pmmm pmmm pmmmmm. Also I make a big joke out of explaining flam paradiddles to the blessed virgin and her baby.

When I went to music school, I was privileged to attend a “percussion recital.” It was completely delightful as the artist dashed all over the stage hitting things in just the right way for bout half an hour. I trust that Jesus enjoyed it as much as we all did, though it was not near His birthday.

Thanks for the nice personal anecdote re: my post about "The Little Drummer Boy" being my un-favorite holiday carol.

I still can't stand the song, but next time I hear it, I'll think of you rather than the "rum, pum, pum"....LOL.

Merry Christmas!....
