I'm wondering if Gord would use a mentro-whatever. I remember using them in the 7th grade and Mrs. Ritchhart yelling "a onea, a twoa, a threea, four," in her nasal loud voice and think that Gord couldn't possibly be that remedial. By the time I was in Freshman band we had overcome that little contraption and learned to count.

I think it's someone slapping something or hitting a block of wood because it's not in perfect rhythem. I am glad I have so many responses because this has been bugging me for quite some time. I am disappointed that we still do not have a definite answer.
Anyone know for sure? Please help!!!!!
