Ahah! The repetitive tapping syndrome, otherwise known as the drummer's curse, an infectious condition contracted when playing rock band videogame, watching rock concerts, or listening to music. There is no apparent gender preference. Early signs and symptoms include heightened alertness to rythmic sounds, uncoordinated tapping of hands or feet, and increased appreciation or sympathy for people with similar affliction in advanced stages.
Disease progression is observed in preoccupation with tapping which could be relieved by a device known as drumset (please see contraindications before use). A full blown case is manifested by desire to learn about the illness through printed and electronic media, improved coordination of 4 extremities, rhythmic head bobbing and truncal movements, ability to produce pleasing rythms, willingness to participate in group therapy such as drum forums, withdrawal symptoms when deprived of drumset access, and transient depression if performance is below expectation. In terminal stages, the patient is fully coordinated, creates own rhythm, finds harmony with other type of sounds emanating from human voice box, strings, and other types of percussion. Serious as it sounds the condition is perfectly compatible with life and provides joy to oneself and those who are around it. A rare morbid complication termed rock drumming rarely occurs which is associated with degenerative changes such as aversion to regular hair cut, general hygiene neglect, attraction to symbols and figure printed in shirts or tattoed on skin, slurred speech, and ability to attract hot babes.
