What section of an orchestra is sometimes known as the 'kitchen sink department'?

A few basic rhythms and drum rolls? The author of this question is obviously unaware of drummers like Neil Peart, Phil Collins, Bill Bruford, Carl Palmer...

That child HAD to have been conceived via the rhythm method.

It's the RHYTHM that makes the difference! ☺

And the beat goes on.

RushMama2112, ...and my father who was the youngest at 16 to earn a musicians union card in Ohio as a percussionist. He persued his musical education at Ohio State University and played in the US Army band, then in hundreds on bands across the country. He finally put diwnnhus dticks at age 88. RIP Dad.

great info!

saw a Willie Nelson show and he had drummer and percussionist

It's a blast to be a percussionist! I was lucky enough to do it from age 9 to 24 and was the only girl playing in the orchestra and band the whole time. The boys always wanted to play the snare drum so I started on the timpani and that became my instrument. You can play 5 at a time, even harmonizing with yourself. Fun!!!

I personally think they just don't have a clue and a lot of their answers

heard of fusion drummers?? , creative and free flowing...no rules...🙄

Must think that all drummers are like Tommy Lee of Motley Crue! (titter)

Have played with several orchestras but have never heard this phrase. BANDS?

there s a great sense of rithm
