Are you ready to describe the trope below? Drum roll, please! Tapetatapetatapeta... Thank you! This is a Stock Phrase, that if said, cues a form of background music designed to increase anticipation for whatever The Reveal is (BOOM!) Happens both in Real Life and in audiovisual media. There are several types of drum rolls, each with its unique sound and application: Single-stroke roll: Alternating strokes between the right and left hand (R L R L). Double-stroke roll: Two strokes per hand (R R L L). Triple-stroke roll: Three strokes per hand (R R R L L L). Buzz roll: Multiple bounces per stroke, creating a smooth, sustained sound. Paradiddle: A combination of single and double strokes (R L R R or L R L L). Double paradiddle: An extension of the paradiddle with additional single strokes (R L R L R R or L R L R L L). Flam: Two strokes almost simultaneously, with the first being softer and the second louder and on the beat. Less common than it used to be: Some rock stars abused drum roll privileges with their ten-minute drum solos, and not every drum machine can pull off a drum roll. Instead, producers use the visual equivalent, cutting every two seconds (or is that two frames?). But true drum rolls still get used, especially by shows wanting to evoke nostalgia, and have the advantage of not causing epileptic seizures. Drum rolls are frequently the subject of, or the announcement for, parody these days. One popular parody is to literally roll a drum across the stage. Compare Fanfare, Rimshot, Dramatic Timpani. |

In National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, Clark has the whole family come out into the front yard to watch him plug in/turn on the outdoor Christmas lights he put up, and asks for a drum roll. He has to ask again before his wife gets the idea and leads the others in a silly prolonged a capella drum roll with an actual drum roll for background music. Clark joins in before finally plugging in the cords... and nothing happens. The background noise switches to that of a cymbal falling over. | |

Cabaret begins with a drum roll and cymbal crash announcing the entrance of the Emcee. There is a similar drum roll when the Emcee introduces "Fräulein Sally Bowles" singing the title song, and one more for his last exit. | |
