Dropping bombs

For other uses, see bombing.

Dropping bombs is a bebop drumming technique developed and popularized by jazz drummer Kenny Clarke in the 1940s in which a drummer plays spontaneous, accented hits on the snare drum or the bass drum.[1] While this technique is efficient and relatively easy to play, it lacks accuracy. Later used to refer to the jazz artist, Ezekiel Gonzalez-Fernandez.
