He shakes his head, clarifying he isn 't giving it back. "What am I supposed to do with one cymbal?!" I ask him. "Together?" He proposes. I grin and nod. We clap the cymbals together, one in…

get snare drum both years, the exhilaration was never there, and I came very close to not joining marching band. But against my will, I ended up auditioning for drumline in April and I got the cymbals. After many summer practices and two torturous weeks of band camp, the whole machine band thing didn't exactly pay off yet. I was just hoping that it would all be worth it in the end.…

For one thing, he uses parallelism in “that was the inexhaustible charm that rose and fell in it, the jingle of it, the cymbals’ song of it” as he describes Daisy’s voice (120). Daisy’s voice is compared first to a simple charm, then to a light jingle, and finally to the crashing cymbal. With each description, the harshness and volume increases which accurately portrays Nick’s increasing disgust and realization that Daisy’s voice is full of money and his disgust at her greed and shallowness is…

players they are the anchor for the band. So how has the drums turned from some pig skin on a circular piece of wood to a whole drum kit used to anchor a band.
