Drumming performance rubbish as well (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tattoo

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'drumming performance' is the definition.
'tattoo' can be an answer for 'drumming' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'performance' bit.

'rubbish as well' is the wordplay.
'rubbish' becomes 'tat' (low-quality items or material).
'as well' becomes 'too' (both can mean 'also').
'tat'+'too'='TATTOO'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tattoo that I've seen before include "Drum signal; skin marking" , "Engraving on skin" , "Personal design" , "Military display - skin design" , "Picture dyed into the skin" .)
