as a percussion student .... or just drummer/ percussionist in general you are expected to have at least a basic understanding of scales,keys, pitches, intervals , modes, common progressions, some sight reading skills, some compositional skills , and just some basic musical instincts beyond meter and rhythm
many mallet percussion instruments are closely related to the piano
Of course, fair point, totally agree. I managed to pick most of those up somewhere along the way without actually learning to play the piano (years of music theory, flute, guitar lessons) before turning to drumming...
