“I always resented the role of a drummer as nothing more than a subservient figure.” --Max Roach


“ . . . a candidate then came to the land of the Shamanesses . . . He heard voices: ‘It has been decided that you shall have a drum (that is, a body of a drum) from the branches of this tree.’ . . . The Lord of the Tree called to him: ‘My branch has just fallen; take it and make a drum of it that will serve you all your life.’ The branch had three forks, and the Lord of the Tree bade him make three drums from it, to be kept by three women, each drum being for a special ceremony—the first for shamanizing women in childbirth, the second for curing the sick, the third for finding men lost in the snow.”

--Archaic Techniques of Ecstasy, Eliade, page 40
