I've got a feeling it's something to do with drums...?!

It definitely isn't definatley

[Rama Krishna Vavilala]

I have the same feeling. Explosive beats! But I can't go beyond that. Slate Short Month? February or May. My current guess is "Mayonnaise".

[moon_stick]

I was thinking more along the lines of a military tattoo which is a drum performance (though nowadays generally just means an army display). Short month could be DMR which is also the army abbreviation for drummer... Though I could be on completely the wrong track! Maybe Percussion?

It definitely isn't definatley

Cold ride in didn't do my brain any good today. I hope everyone else is also slow.

[Dalek Dave]

So far, they are! :)

I can't take all the credit for this but here is my guess. Slate short month? It beats a tattoo and was once explosive pan - slate jan - short month drum - beat panjandrum - a pompous self-important official - star - tattoo once explosive.
