The most important people to drumming; our parents for putting up with all that noise, purchasing our first gear, paying for and taking us to private lessons. Had they not done that, there would be no drummers.

From Purdie Shuffle

Too many individuals, too many companies all made invaluable contributions to the art of drumming. The most simple and obvious answer to the question is... Us!We keep drumming alive every time we play, every time we fix a drum so it's still around after we're gone, every time we teach a newbie something we know, that we learned from doing the work. We keep it 'alive' for the next generation. I can honestly say that I do my share by freely giving to others, the information and knowledge that I have accumulated and which was once freely given to me. It's a drum circle that is unbroken in time. So the answer is; us... we are the most important people to drumming.John

OH YEAH...US.

Maybe we didn't change drumming(maybe some of us did) but we make sure the younger guys know who did.

Thanx for pointin that out Purdie.

Ringo! He brought drumming to the masses, and made millions of drum fans out of kids that never knew who Gene Krupa and others were. He was the one that made drumming cool to everyone,and not just to drummers! Ringo!

He is also one of only two drummers I can think of that the western world in general would recognize by only a single name. The other, of course would be Animal.

And history is in the drums, the drummer and, most importantly, the beat of the heart. Drums, if truth be told, are played from the rhythm of the soul, not the mind, nor the back, nor the hands. It has to have the rhythm of the heart to make it to the crowd. I am about 1/4-1/3 deaf. Yet I am still pitch perfect. How does that happen, unless it comes from the soul, the heart?
