Congratulations on your first teaser!
Hey TBTabby! Your first teaser! Well done.
I am a drummer and I did not get this. I'm still kicking myself. I love these classic style four line rhymer riddles. They are easy to share verbally with others. This one definitely goes into my repertoire for as long as I can remember it.
Thank you for becoming a teaser contributor!

I played the drums in High School. I was in the girl's Drum and bugle corps. I do not think a drum actually speaks, but just makes sounds when you want it to, by drumming on it. That is a little bit of a stretch. Sorry!
Nice job!
Great job, TBTabby! I think it was perfect. I also happened to get it
I'm thrilled to see this one make the teaser of the day! Very deserving. Congrats TBTabby!
Sorry, but as a Percussionist I'm with Babe on this; a drum does not speak!
Also, some drums have built in dampeners and tuners inside.
May I suggest you do your homework in future!
