The only way to hit something repeatedly and get applauded for it.
means The act of striking a drum or other surface in a steady, rhythmic pattern, or any repetitive tapping or beating motion.
from From 'drum,' a word that likely came into English in the 1500s from Dutch or Low German 'tromme' — a name that imitates the very sound the instrument makes, a thudding 'drum-drum.' The '-ing' simply turns the object into the action of using it. The word is one of a family of echoic instrument-names across Germanic languages, where the noise and the name are nearly the same thing.
