A couple of clips here from drummers that demonstrate musicality.

The first one has Max Roach playing a solo on the hi-hat. Just the hi-hat and, he makes a musical statement. He also talks about the inspiration he got from Papa Jo Jones.

The second clip is a sweet solo by Papa Jo Jones.

Both of these guys use dynamic control and are able to tell a story, complete with dramatic and comic elements, via percussion.

As always, give the drummer some then click pause on the music player located in the side bar before playing the YouTubes.
