Long Burn

Trying to listen

One time Eldon Potter and I went to hear a band in the gym during Springfest at Macalester. I remember it was loud. (Was the band called Out of Time?) The lead singer was hyperkinetic, dancing around something and hitting it with the drumstick he held in his left hand. Eldon pointed and roared in my ear, 'He's using a break drum.'
-A WHAT!?
-A BREAK DRUM
And I just couldn't get it. Poor Eldon had to shout this at me about five times. A break drum? What's that? Shouldn't he just get it fixed? Anything to do with break dancing??
Turned out it really was a brake drum, from a car, on a welded stand.
