Prior to the Falcons/Rams football game, the Falcons Drum Line entertained folks at Falcons Landing, where pre-game festivities take place.

These folks are good and they energized the crowd with their well-rehearsed rapid-fire drumming!

Of course, while enjoying the beats, I had to snap some shots.

Bonus: After they finished, I thanked the fellow (JJ) who's drum was the focal point of many of my shots and he thanked us by handing my son one of his extra sticks. I'll be a fan of the Falcons Drum Line 4 ever now!
