Sid [Catless] was also the first drummer I'd heard who would play regular choruses--like thirty-two or sixty-four bars, et cetera-- the way a piano or horn might. He thought very musically. And if he had two blues choruses, he would take just twenty-four bars, and if you didn't come in on the twenty-fifth beat, he'd say, "What?" [… H]e was a really advanced drummer in his concern with a melodic approach to drums. Even today, most drummers have a rhythmic approach with no attention to the melodic potentialities of percussion. |
