In small bands the drummer traditionally sets the tempo and beat to lead the next number. Along with tapping the edge of a drum she/he will chant in unison with the tapping, "And a one, and a two, and a ...". Music ensues.Ibix said:
[This has been attributed to several influential American jazz drummers but drums with chants were used to time cannon fire on post 15th C. warships and to time oars on ancient rowing vessels such as the Vikings used; the latter documented by Irish monks in the famous manuscript titled Jazz, jazz, and More Jazz by medieval jazzman Thelonious Monk.

That just goes to show you the lax privacy measures and intrusion.
Totally laxative , if you ask me.
Especially when the Captain was making a personal log entry, that happens.

One should need to know the difference between an onion and a banjo ( to become a great chef
