 Drummer - encyclopedia article about Drummer.
While drummers are the butt of many drummer jokes (not unlike alto viola players) suggesting they wouldn't be real musicians, in reality good drummers are expert musicians with an acute ear for rhythm and musical form, who act as the rhythmic driving force for an entire ensemble.
The drummer is the rhythmic shader and punctuator for musical ensembles; the very choice of the word beat (evoking his action) for the rhythmic motor of a performance (especially in dance) reflects percussion's traditional role as such.
Famous drummers which well known for their use in comedy include Ringo Starr and the Muppet character, Animal.
