[HAM] Foreplay

[Linda Dachtyl]

Two drummers?

I play some drums, too and a two drummer gig would be the ultimate 
drag:-)

More so than with a "percussionist" who "tunes" bongoes to timpani 
pitches.

Makes those various old lo-fi wire recordings of Charlie Parker's 
various combos sound very hi-fi during the drum breaks:-)

I started to look at this Boston piece again. Not an easy thing to play 
at all, IMO.
