Drum practice

[Magpie]

Hi Ivana, this is a neat little poem you've got here.
I like the use of the metaphor and the slight use of onomatopoeia (I couldn't spell that word without copy+paste), although I do think there was potential for more onomatopoeia without risk of going overboard (Splash!!)

Drum practice
 
Hit those drums  - Once you get a rhythm going in the second stanza the effect works well, I just feel that this first stanza trips over itself a little with the word 'drum' repeated and the third line having an extra syllable (although it may be an dialect/accent thing)
Drum those toms - could you change 'drum' here to 'beat' or 'drums' on the line above to something else?
beating rhythms - I see this line as one of the places you could use onomatopoeia and introduce the metaphor. A terrible possible example could be 'boom kick ride'
Gets you calm
 
Pumping heart
Pounding bass                                     
Kicking those
Drum skins hard
 
Breathing in
Breathing out - These two lines seem a bit mundane together
Beating skin
Pounding loud
 
Get it right
Get it tight
Hit the ride
Right hand side
 
Toms with tones
trembling tunes
Skin deep darkness - was it intentional to lose the rhythm here? It seems more natural for the next stanza.
Lighting up
 
Bells that sound - Possibilities for more onomatopoeia??? It's your poem.
Carry far
Lashing and crashing
Wishing it was
Calm inside
 
What is it that you do
To get you through it all - This whole question is probably cliche in a roundabout way, (especially the second line) - Is there another way you could ask this? Does it need asking?
 
Gentle beats
Deep kicks
Click tap
Brush over skin
 
Feeling loved
Feeling lurched
Feeling left
With better heartbeats

I think it's a good idea that you've got here and it works well, but I reckon with just a little bit of work in a couple of places you could get it to work really well.
Is there also a possibility of making mention of a snare drum and having it as an interesting sound/double meaning potential...??

Thanks for the read,

Mark
