Musical Role
Percussionists are responsible for the heartbeat and flavor of the band. From the steady pulse of the snare drum to the shimmering crash of the cymbals or the melodic chime of the bells, their role is to keep the tempo steady and add dramatic exclamation points to the music.Â
The Creative Architects
Percussionists are a world of creative energy. They are always busy hitting something new just to see what kind of funny sound it makes. They are the band's engine room, fueled by curiosity, quick reflexes, and the impressive ability to stay focused even after counting 100 measures of rest.
