evancelt Posted December 3, 2020 Posted December 3, 2020 (edited) Geoffrey "Fiddlesticks" Cooper was born to be a drummer. As a three year old, he banged wooden porridge spoons on his mother's hearth kettle until she felt she would go mad. As a six year old, he tap-tap-tapped on the neighbor's fence until it fell over. At age 13, his mother sent him to join the Corlander army as a drummer boy. By age 16, he could make his drumroll so smooth he could fool the uninitiated into thinking there was a wasp about. Now at age 22, Fiddlesticks is the best drummer in the 26th Foot and can keep a tempo during the fiercest fighting. Edited December 3, 2020 by evancelt Quote

LM71Blackbird Posted December 3, 2020 Posted December 3, 2020 Simple yet effective! I like the use of the antennas for drumsticks. Quote
