Expanding
Your
Horizons
Have you ever noticed that some of the world's
most musical drummers have experience on other
instruments or in some other facet of music? Case
in point: Jack Dejohnette's expert work on piano
and bass, Elvin Jones's guitar playing, Joe Morel-
lo's original training as a classical violinist, Alan
Dawson's skill on vibes, Lou Bellson's ability to
compose and arrange in so many musical genres,
Max Roach's keyboard prowess, Phil Collins'
singing and songwriting abilities, and the lyric-
writing skills of Neil Peart.
Of the numerous questions posed by young
drum students, one of the most frequently asked
is, "Should I take the time to pursue other musical
endeavors along with my drumming?" It's cer-
tainly a valid concern.
As most experienced drummers will attest, one
could literally spend a lifetime mastering the many
aspects of percussion. Learning the intricacies of
the drumset alone can take years in itself. Despite
this, in a survey conducted by Modern Drummer
some years ago, it was noted that a significantly
high percentage of drummers were currently
studying another instrument or honing their skills
in some form of music writing. The survey also
indicated that the most popular secondary instru-
ments were piano, guitar, bass, and vibes, in that
order, and that writing music was also very impor-
tant to a considerable number of drummers.
The question is, can study in other areas of
music be helpful in a drummer's development?
Perhaps I should answer that by simply saying, it
certainly couldn't hurt. The study of piano, for
example, can open the way to a greater under-
standing of melody, theory and harmony, and
chord structure, all of which add to your overall
understanding and appreciation of music. And,
more importantly, this knowledge will undoubt-
edly play a role in how you relate to other musi-
cians in the many types of musical settings you're
apt to encounter. The ability to read and write
music, through the practical application of key-
board, can also lead the way to composing and
arranging, which is a wonderful way to develop
greater musical awareness. And, once you've
developed a good understanding of keyboard, the
transition to mallet percussion is a relatively easy
one.
Learning guitar can be equally helpful. It's also
the perfect instrument on which to learn about
melody, harmony, and chord progressions, and
composing can easily become a direct outgrowth
of one's understanding of guitar. Also, what better
way can there be to more fully understand about
creating interesting bass lines, and the blending of
those lines with a drummer, than through the
actual study of bass?
I believe the point has been made. Obviously,
the study of another musical instrument, time-con-
suming as it may be, can be extremely beneficial in
producing a more sensitive, well-versed player.
Deciding which one to choose is totally up to the
individual. The important point here is that
expanding your musical horizons helps you to
become more of a total musician. And being a total
musician will make you a much more valuable
asset in just about any type of musical situation.
