Episode 16: Disappearing Drum

ZingZillas - CBeebies - BBC

Drum is behaving very strangely. Why does she keep disappearing?

A band of primate friends play music in their tropical island paradise. Drum listens to a pair of Japanese Taiko drummers called Hiten Ryu Daiko in the glade.

Drum is listening to a pair of Japanese Taiko drummers called Hiten Ryu Daiko playing in the glade. Drum loves it! She then decides to go and fetch her stuffed toy pineapple, Yapple. In the clubhouse Zak is trying to write a song called The Big Noise Song. Drum enters, picks Yapple up and goes.

Drum gets back to the glade and then decides she wants her cushion too. Back in the clubhouse the ZingZillas are about to start rehearsing the Big Noise song. However, Drum is missing so Panzee volunteers to look for her. Panzee searches the coconut hut and the Moaning Stones beach before spotting Drum crossing the jungle. Drum makes her way into the clubhouse where she grabs her cushion and slips past Panzee on her way out. 

The band decide to practice the Making A Big Noise song without Drum but it doesn't sound right. Panzee decides to hide and follow Drum to wherever she is going. Drum comes back to the clubhouse in search of drumsticks. Panzee follows her to the glade and discovers the Taiko drummers for herself. Panzee tries to persuade Drum to come back and practice the Big Zing song but Drum refuses. She wants to listen to the Taiko drums. 

Panzee then has an idea - why don't the Taiko drummers play in the 'Making A Big Noise' Big Zing? Then Drum could listen to them and play music. Drum thinks this is a wonderful idea. In the Big Zing they all play the 'Making A Big Noise' song and Hiten Ryu Daiko make a really big noise on their Taiko Drums.

Featuring Hiten Ryu Daiko.
