I diddled Donna's drum and sticks, and came up with this:
             ,                           ,
            `\`\                       /'/'
              `\`\                   /'/'
                `\`\ ............. /'/'
           ..,;;;;`\`\'''''''''''/'/';;;,..                     
        .:''        `\`\_     _/'/'       ``;.                   
        :::.          `(_)   (_)'         ,;;:                   
        n:.``;;;,....            ....,;;;'',::  
        :\ ``;;;;. ````::::::::'''''.n;;;''  :                   
        : \      ```::n::::::::::'''/ \      :                
        :  \  If a man does not keep pace    :                   
        :   \with his companions, perhaps    :                   
        :    \ it is because he hears a  \   :                   
        :     \   different drummer.      \ /;                   
        ::.    \-/Henry David Thoreau      v;:
        `:.``:::v....       \ /   ....;;;''.;' 
           ``:::... ```::::::v:''' ...;;;''  
                  ````::::::::::''''                           


I thought perhaps I should try to return the sticks to something like their 
original position, though, so I re-crossed the sticks and got this:
                ,.               ,.     
                `\`\           /'/'        
                  `\`\       /'/'        
                  ..`\`\:::/'/'.....   
           ..,;;;'''''`\`\'/' ```````;;;,..                     
        .:''          _/`\`\              ``;.                   
        :::.         (_)' `\`_            ,;;:                   
        n:.``;;;,....       (_)  ....,;;;'',::  
        :\ ``;;;;. ````::::::::'''''.n;;;''  :                   
        : \      ```::n::::::::::'''/ \      :                
        :  \  If a man does not keep pace    :                   
        :   \with his companions, perhaps    :                   
        :    \ it is because he hears a  \   :                   
        :     \   different drummer.      \ /;                   
        ::.    \-/Henry David Thoreau      v;:
        `:.``:::v....       \ /   ....;;;''.;' 
           ``:::... ```::::::v:''' ...;;;''  
                  ````::::::::::''''
                           

Hmm.  Guess I'll leave it at that...
