There’s a comma in between traditional and big band. So it’s not meant to imply “traditional big band” but rather traditional jazz (i.e. bop), big band jazz, or any form of swing-style jazz playing.I would not call Max Roach a traditional big band/. swing band drummer. He was very progressive. He was a be-boper. He never drank his fifths lol.
I haven’t marched since college, so that would be 1995. And I haven’t played any orchestral percussion since high school. But I checked that box anyway, if for no other reason than my near daily practice pad routine where I play rudiments and warmup exercises with marching sticks and traditional grip (and pretend like I’m still in my college drumline).I didn't check the box for marching and orchestral, because it's been decades since I've done any of it. Also didn't check the boxes for either of the Jazz options, because you can't call what I play Jazz. More like butchering! :'(
Edit: I forgot...no double-bass or bombastic fills either. Can't do those or something may snap. Won't be my sticks either!
I don't think Max Roach was Traditional, big band, or a swing style jazz drummer. Pretty much the opposite. Very radical and innovative IMHO.There’s a comma in between traditional and big band.

I maxed out the number of categories available when creating this poll, so I had to combine a number of genres.I don't think Max Roach was Traditional, big band, or a swing style jazz drummer. Pretty much the opposite. Very radical and innovative IMHO.
I don't think "bop" is traditional jazz either. Traditional jazz and big band players drink their fifths, they don't flat them lol.
Bop was a response to traditional jazz.
You're kinda missing a category: Bop Jazz.
