Friday Fun: The Beat of the Drum -- As David Anderson has recentlybeenreminding us, the TOC approach to projects (especially the multi-project management solution) owes a lot to its production management precursor -- Drum-Buffer-Rope. For that matter, in the early days, before taking on names like synchronizer and pacing resource, the resource that was chosen to set the pace for the multi-project system was known as the Drum Resource.
Today's fun(ky) link is related to this drum theme. My musical tastes were developed in that hazy era of the overblown drum solo. Here are a couple songs in mp3 and realaudio format that I remember nodding my head and flailing the air to in those pre-digital drum machine daze. And here's one (mp3) I've never heard before but is a lot of fun. If you're into rhythm, there's a lot more where these come from.
