The way I\u2019ve always seen the drums is simply the thing that makes Simm\u2019s Master madder than all the previous ones.

After the Time War, that presence is gone\u2014 hence, drums. <br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"answer_content\">(Personally I think a lot of fanwank could\u2019ve been avoided if the drumbeat had simply been placed in Jacobi!Master\u2019s head after his body had been re-loomed during the War, which makes more sense imo. Alas, that is not the hand canon dealt us\u2026)<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"answer_content\">I tend to see Roberts batshittery as a result of being, you know, a snake made of goo.
