Drumming is a motif that occurs many times throughout the novel. Drumming usually occurs as a way to build tension and suspense, implying a sense of danger and foreboding. However, drumming also usually leads, in some form or another, to helping Luc come closer and closer to building his family and finding his place among the chimps.
