Understanding this quote
The speaker is tired of music that feels repetitive, with the harmonium, piano, and Western sound blending into the same pattern day after day. Calling for drums expresses a wish for a stronger change in the music’s sound and rhythm. The point is not simply to add an instrument, but to break the monotony.
