Rik-ah-tick-ah

(For Mr Milton Greg who taught me this word to help me subdivide my high school field show music)

“Rik-ah-tick-ah” is a word that emotes

When subdividing, percussion notes.

It keeps me in time

And drum playing, sublime.

It makes an interesting word in quotes…

    • It’s sort of double times when you’re playing the instrument another one that used to do were the “Yuh-tah-duh-tahs” lol me and my drum instructor was speaking Yiddish Hey whatever gets me on the beat. I love it. Lol
