His Drumming Heartbeat

🎇 Sirens 🎇

"HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU GUYS DOING OUT THERE," Lynnette roared into her headset while twirling her drumsticks like batons, following with thousands upon thousands of fans cheering as loud as possible. "LEMME SEE THOSE HORNS IN THE AIR," she barked out once more, hitting the cymbals four times to the rhythm of their set's first song.

A/N: Play song now.

There's no time to waste when the band plays the first song of their set, the stable guitar rhythm playing and excellent drum work, got everyone in the audience cheering with their devil horns in the air. While making all of this look effortless while strumming the right chords, the lead singer sings a few notes with a smile on her face before she belts an impressive high note, getting people riled up and jaws dropping to the floor. The band shifts it into high gear, many people in the front row headbanging along to the beat of the song. The older people in the audience know this cover song and reminisce when they first overheard to the original decades ago.

"She has some energy," Kaminari commented, watching the performance.

"She's always energetic," Jiro explains, "she's usually the one taking the helms and jumping right into everything."

'You got me forced to crack my lids in two.

I'm still stuck inside this rubber room.

I gotta punch the clock that leads the blind.

I'm just another gear in the assembly line, oh no.

The noose gets tighter around my throat.

But I ain't at the end of my rope.'

The chorus hits, and everyone sings or screams along, or however, they prefer to stand out or enjoy themselves sober or not. Bakugo observes the band from where he is, or more of Lynnette, Sirens' drummer because, well, it's not everyday anyone sees a woman playing the drums for any band. She's not missing a beat once, her feet are keeping up with the rhythm of the double-bass kick drum, and she uses her drumsticks to hit her cymbals with such precision his crimson-red eyes can't help but watch. It makes sense a handful of people here or anywhere could consider her notable amongst today's drummers because she has talent, and there's no denying that.

"She looks like she could kick your ass in a drum-off," Midoriya jokes, "I heard she learned how to play drums by ear."

"Tch," Bakugo scoffs, smirking to himself, "I'd like her to challenge me sometime."

"I heard Bella got major respect from a bunch of rock and metal legends," one person said to another.

"I believe it," the other person says, "anyone could consider her a modern-day rock goddess."

Bella's voice, instrument, and band's instruments proceed to carry through the amplifiers all across the stage. A ringing sound resonates within some people's ears in the front row, but it's nothing too unendurable. Everyone there has to watch out for the crazy crowd-surfers security has to take care of in the far back because many intoxicated idiots are trying to get close but barely realize there's a walkway to separate everyone from them for safety reasons. Bakugo looks over and sees a few moshpits in some areas, laughing to himself when he sees innocent people watching the show nearly get swept away. It never fails to surprise him how stupid people can be at any live show, but hopes he gets to see something like that right where the girls performing in front of them are at soon.

"She even sounds amazing live like on the albums," Tokoyami remarks, "even I'm getting chills."

"Same here," Yazoryouzo related.
