Episode 11: To the Beat of a Drum

ZingZillas - CBeebies - BBC

Drum isn't sure how she can march and play her drums at the same time.

A band of primate friends play music in their tropical island paradise. The ZingZillas come up with a marching song.

The ZingZillas wake up and ask Todd for an idea for the day's song. However, Todd's machine isn't working properly and is so noisy that the ZingZillas can't hear what Todd is saying. He explains that he has to tie the belt off to the arch and the ZingZillas think he is saying he needs them to 'march'. This gets them thinking about a marching song. But what sort of music is good for a marching song?

In the glade, Tang sees the Hertfordshire Showband perform a marching version of When the Saints Go Marching In. Tang loves their uniforms and the way they can march around with their instruments. He dashes back to the others.

The ZingZillas gather together in the clubhouse to practise their marching song To the Beat of a Drum. It is a brilliant song to march to and Tang, Panzee and Zak are soon marching around the clubhouse to the music. But Drum is sad. She can't march around because she has no way of carrying her drum and playing it at the same time. This is a problem! Tang wonders how Drum can belt out a beat. This gives Zak an idea and he rushes off to see Todd.
