Drum Machine, Drum Machine Poem by Kevin Patrick

I really know what you mean, but I do use one from time to time when I'm playing the guitar, just to make sure my timing is still good. A great poem.

Passionate writing to express the universal scourge of computer music which has hastened the ability to make rhythmic noise but not music. Music is a craft and art and a cultural relationship to instruments and people sharing history and experiences. Is there space for plastic doof, doof, doof, thump, thump doof? I hope not, but if there is, let it be an instrument and not a player.

sucking out the energy, I like it, thanks.

This has a really fabulous gritty quality. Your dislike is evident, but there is a sense of humour. A great work.

A musical device that I loath for only certain uses as stated, when used to provide the music a clear idea to engage with it is good, but it can be a soulless machine that I would tare about with a hammer. But that's just me Beautiful.

The original shamanic drum drumming synced to heart beat has become the electronic machine shock shocking. No longer based on dreams tied to memories, now imagination spinning theories - any theories - rage rage against the machine, against the dying of the light. This poem's a 10.
