Illustration: In a rented Japanese band rehearsal room, a drummer sits behind a compact kit with a bass drum, snare, two toms, and cymbals. One stick has just struck the snare while the other is poised above a tom; their foot presses the bass-drum pedal. A bassist nearby turns to watch the energetic fill.
