What is the most difficult style of drumming?

Do drums keep the rhythm?

The bass drum is the most important beat-keeping instrument in any band, from small to huge ensemble. The bass directs the pace and tempo of the music and in modern dance music is the beat upon which the tempo is set. You can use a single drum to keep the beat and it would be just the beat.

    How do jazz drummers hold their sticks?

    Traditional grip (also known as orthodox grip or conventional grip , fundamental grip and, to a lesser extent, the jazz grip) is a technique used to hold drum sticks while playing percussion instruments. Commonly, the right hand uses an overhand grip and the left hand uses an underhand grip.

    Why do jazz drummers play with traditional grip?

    Traditional grip is useful to learn because it produces a certain sound that works great when playing drumming patterns in the rudimental/traditional style. Countless jazz drummers have used it as a means of expression when performing acoustic, improvisational music.
