Bebop

forays of artistic expressions. Tapping feet and lively hands flourishing underneath the heritage of the sun. The lively streets of Harlem become rich with culture, shackled Blues, and drunken prosperities unsealed by the shifting of times. With each bebop tune art and literature represent the “good times” conjured up a fervent desire, to produce meaning and give birth to communal and racial pride.

It is hard to picture the Beatles without Ringo or Led Zeppelin without Bonham. These drummers many not be front and center, but they are the back bone to the band. And without the Drum set these drummers would have never been. Jazz or Rock n Roll or Pop music wouldn’t be the same without the invention and evolution of the drum set.

Or a thought of the roaring 20s' and imagine your self at a party where everyone is dancing to the sound of a live band with trumpets, saxophones, and trombones.
