That Sound

[Iain Purdon]

Here's a definition I rather like

'That Sound' comprises of clean,well articulated lead lines, powerful, driving rhythms (or delicate arpeggios where necessary), solid, emphatic bass lines and a driving drum part which is in total sympathy with all of the aforementioned.

sympathy ? . . . . . or even EMPATHY . . . . . . . .

Thank you Professor!

From OED

In sympathy: relating harmoniously to something else; in keeping:
(repairs had to be in sympathy with the original structure)

Empathy: the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.

Whichever, it describes the drummer's role well

[Uncle Fiesta]

Ringo Starr was once described as "the first drummer to play songs instead of beats" - I sometimes wonder if Tony Meehan didn't beat him to it!

(No pun intended.)

He did indeed.
