It's true though, if you grabbed a horn players ax and started
blowing it or whatever, without asking first, man the whole band
would come down on you! For real!
If another musician I am aquainted with grabs them my drums, Its
not too big of deal, I reckon they can handle the drums with care like their
own instrument, and its a little part of what a jazz jam is about...
As a percussionist I get to play more than a horn player, so if they
want a turn, it only makes me sound better in comparison.
Sometimes I bring claves and maracas for people to use, but only guys I know.
I just don't get audience members or people I don't know grabbing them,
thats just nerve! I guess drums seem pretty indestructible, but it's still
someone's property!
