With the explosive popularity of Ragtime, drummers begin to improvise more freely with the rudiments. At the same time, record numbers of immigrants arrive into the United States from all over the world, bringing their ethnic instruments with them. Early drum set players adapt many of these "contraptions" into their basic set up, giving way to the term "traps." Trap drummers would play an important role in the evolution of Vaudeville, silent movies, and radio.
In this 15-part series, Vic Firth and Daniel Glass will be looking at 100 years of drumming evolution. Learn about the key events and advancements that shaped the drumset we know and love today!
