Like our heart, a drum does keep a rhythm. Like our heart each beat is as important as the last. In every song and in every day we hear the rhythm. A thump, a tick, a blast. We hear it every time we are anything but we don't listen. Rather we wait for when we hear silence. When we hear silence, the song is over.
I wouldn't say silence is the worst thing to hear from our drums and our hearts. Afterall, we don't hear the silence, we only feel it. We don't even feel it, we just feel tension and nervousness when the silence comes. Or we just feel dead.
The silence is a scary thing, that's why I like to hear a drum beat.
Cheers.

I think the longing for silence is a result of the heavy metal drum solo that the lives of some of our contemporaries have become. What's closer than to seek the opposite of what you're not content with? (of course, the reasonable answer is pretty obvious, but that's not how our minds work). Maybe some just aren't satisfied with your average drumming pattern. Those can become pretty monotonous.
But yes, absolute silence is pretty undesirable. But then, what if we turn off the synthesizer-beat? Maybe listen to the wind and the leaves or something romantic like that? I guess that's a plan. I need to do that more. Cheers ^^
