ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Drumline

Okay kiddo, imagine you are at a parade and there is a big group of people all dressed in the same outfit. They are carrying sticks and hitting them on drums making a lot of noise. That's a drumline!

But not just anyone can join a drumline. It takes a lot of practice and talent. They have to learn to hit the drums in a special way so that it sounds good and everyone is hitting together at the same time.

Drumlines also play music called cadences. Cadences are like little songs that are made just for the drumline. They are often played when the group is marching or performing.

There are different kinds of drums in a drumline too. Some are big and called bass drums. They make a really deep sound. Others are smaller and called snare drums. They make a higher sound. And there are also cymbals, which make a crashing sound.

Overall, a drumline is a group of people who all work together to make cool music and put on great performances.
