Do you clap your hands
on the snare, or the bass drum?
Do you click fingers
on the cymbal or hi-hat?
Does the bass line make
your hips rotate in two planes?
I click in the spaces,
clap on the off beat, mouthing
nonsense to the bass
line's talkative rhythm.
I clap fingers and click my hands.
I don't hear your music;
you don't hear mine.

I like this, Ewan. Says a lot about individual taste. I listen first to the percussion then to the space between, even though I'm a guitarist.

I'm quite fond of a bit of syncopation myself.

As someone who always seems to "dance to the beat of a different drum," I like this, Ewan.
