Drums are essentially the skeleton (Allusion) of modern music and the most commonly known instrument in the percussion family. They establish the rhythm and tempo of most musical pieces and come in all shapes and sizes, very similar to clothing (Analogy), with each having its own distinct style and intended sound. These include the hand drum, kit drum and oversize drum (Repetition). Being considered the most important part of many genres of music, it has become essential to include a type of drum in most musical compositions. Without a drum to create the paced structure for the other instruments and vocals to follow, the piece will noticeably lack the overall sound of completed music. The drum is required to give the artist a starting point they can use to progress and grow on. Musical pieces that lack the structure the drum provides, sound naked (Personification) and as if they are missing a key component that makes for an enjoyable listening experience. The heart is the main organ of the human body and the centre of the circulatory system. Composed of valves and several strong muscles, the heart regulates the flow of blood through the veins and arteries of your body. Through this blood flow oxygen and nutrients are transported to all areas of the body and like a municipal garbage program (Simile), takes all the trash with it. This is what keeps the cells in the human body healthy and alive. Without the heart no other organ would be able to function properly and for that matter neither would any human. It is the structure for human life and as rumored, because of its contribution to the brain, the reason we feel and love. As humans we need and depend on the heart to let us live our lives. Each pump of blood, each heartbeat, each transmission of oxygen to a cell are the reasons we are alive and it can all be attributed back to the excellent contribution from the heart.
