It emphasizes the strong, pulsing energy the speaker feels from the natural world.
The repeated verb "drums" creates a rhythmic, heartbeat‑like effect and intensifies the sensory, ritualistic image (drumming at the speaker’s fire and medicine pouch), suggesting a vital, driving force rather than annoyance or an attempt to frighten animals.
