Lance, I don't know about the Jazz world but in folk music, drummers ie people who play the bodhran (Irish frame drum) are the butt of many jokes. They are given hell if they don't get the rhythms right for jigs and reels during jam sessions. It is said a bad drummer can ruin a whole tune but this isn't true if the other musicians are competent. So drummers stick together for moral support. I suspect the Jazz world may be a bit more tolerant than this. Ann Alex
Ann, I suspect, even though I don't think he is yet buried, that the late great Jack Parnell will be turning prematurely in his grave at the thought of being linked in a post to an Irish Frame Drummer - begorrah to be sure he will!
Lance, I see what you mean, there's a big difference between a frame drummer on 1 drum ( very skilled, mind) and a drummer on a whole drum kit. If you want to hear a good bodhran player, try young Lucy Coggle, a graduate of the Folk and Traditional Music degree. She just about makes the drum talk! Ann Alex
