Some link the twelve drummers to the twelve statements in the Apostles’ Creed. I think of the unifying effect of drummers drumming. Drums set a tempo that bring people together. A creed might even be like that, creating movement that allows us to follow and keep in step.
I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary….
Throughout the ages, the beat goes on.

I love this, too. They also awaken us to the fact that something wonderful is coming….
Kent, your impressive artwork speaks eloquently of what your description explains. I love it!
Ditto! I agree with Joan.
Very well done Kent. So colorful and well thought out. The soldiers remind me of twelve little Christmas tree ornaments. I agree with everyone on your concept.
The composition is arresting and a call to arms! Keep the beat going while we have life and breath!
