The latest in my series of "Compositions of a Stupid Autistic Mind," which are either repetitive on purpose or are just stupid little melodies I improvise. Why? It represents the annoying things I used to do as a child, which proved to my parents I really am autistic. This whole series of compositions are based on dreams I have from time to time, which are flashbacks of my childhood. These repetitive melodies, therefore, are generally either things I improvised and they stuck with me, or were based on things I discovered I remembered wrong. Alternately, they're sometimes relevant to a current event in my life, or just represent what mood I am in right now (or otherwise tell the story of my life).

Similar to my previous COASAM entitled Lion Paws, this one is for battery percussion only. It goes in conjunction with what I wrote on this journal; as a kid, I'd look at pictures of animals such as lions while listening to marching music, and when it got to a drum solo, I'd look at the paws. This ultimately inspired many a story I've written here about my many marching band OCs: lots of barefoot animals marching while beating on their drums. And yes, I have been judged and bullied about it online and offline, but hopefully those days are gone. At least it helped show myself I really was autistic as my parents thought I was. (This is also why I chose the thumbnail I used.)

The next time the furry fandom's holiday known as Paw Day rolls around, feel free to use this cadence as background music.

This is the first drum cadence I've ever written in 5/4 time.
