People often ask me why I decided to start a bucket (and trash-bin) drumming group. The simple answer is this:
* it's cheaper to equip 10 drummers with buckets and trash bins than it is to get actual drums.
* if we are playing on buckets and incorporating club rhythms, it's very explicit that we're not trying to be a traditional percussion group, but that we are creating something new.
* I wanted to run a percussion-heavy performing group... to feed my own need to play drums.
