To touch on the oft employed analogy of the drummer being the backbone of a band, think for a moment of a ballet dancer’s physique. In their dance routine, we are often watching the arms and legs, perhaps their hands and feet, their head or face. How often are you watching the curvature of their back or spine? It may happen as they lean, bend, or crouch in a certain moment, but ultimately, it is an aspect of the physique that lends support to the features we are really paying attention to.
