"Fats Domino, Amos Milburn, Louis Jordan and Roy Brown were particular favourites. The relaxed, loping style of their music seemed to cater to the West Indian taste for unhurried rhythms. [...] The southern stuff almost had a Caribbean tinge. In Professor Longhair's rumba-like concoctions, for instance, you can hear influences which never crossed the Mason-Dixon line."--Cut 'n' Mix (1987) by Dick Hebdige, p. 62 The canon: Tony Allen, Ginger Baker, Art Blakey, Hal Blaine, Joe Claussell, Cándido Camero, Billy Cobham, Sly Dunbar, Anton Fier, Guem, Larry Heard, Manny Oquendo, Babatunde Olatunji, Airto Moreira, Idris Muhammad, Daniel Ponce, Larry Washington, Earl Young |

A drum is a musical instrument in the percussion group that can be large, technically classified as a membranophone. Drums consist of at least one membrane, called a drumhead or drum skin, that is stretched over a shell and struck, either directly with parts of a player's body, or with some sort of implement such as a drumstick, to produce sound. Drums are the world's oldest and most ubiquitous musical instruments, and the basic design has remained virtually unchanged for thousands of years. Most drums are called "untuned instruments" because they have no definite pitch, with the exception of a few such as timpani.
