Abstract
Recent relevant judicial decisions in the US suggest that the question of subsistence of originality in drum beats remains a subject of debate. Unbeknownst to the non-musical world, this question continues to gather momentum and poses some rather interesting questions about degree and threshold of creativity and applicability of Copyright law. This paper explores the copyright-ability of drum patterns, the position of US and Canadian laws on the subject and under what circumstances may such beats be accorded copyright protection.
