While drums don't have specific pitches per say, their sounds do have pitch relationships. All of the above mentioned luminaries would use these to create melodic "lines," and improvise off them as they played, in the same way a pianist or a saxophonist would, according to Michael Stephens' Experiencing Jazz. Drum solos can also be quite melodic, as modern drummers like Brian Blade have proved. In interviews, Blade has stressed that drummers need to keep a "deep sense of groove, but also a deep concern with creating melodic motion from the drums, with moving and shaping the music." His solos absolutely prove the value of that. However, many drummers continue to see themselves through their stereotyped roles. Drummers in a 2014 Saint Mary's University and McGill University in Canada study, reported themselves as being more introverted than guitarists or lead singers of bands. Whether this is a fact about drummer personalities, or merely a snapshot of drummers and singers seeking to fit their stereotypes has yet to be unpacked. However, several studies have shown that the steady beats drummers lay down can engender a sense of cohesion and community among listeners and participants. So, in a way, drummers may create extroverts, whether they're introverted or extraverted themselves. That same study also showed drummers reporting themselves as less intelligent than guitarists and singers, though as the evidence outlined above would suggest there's little or no neurological evidence to suggest this is true. We need to recognize these stereotypes are merely antiquated memes that have somehow stuck in our collective imagination. Though the act of playing drums may look more primitive than strumming a guitar or fingering keys, drummers should seen as real musicians with real musical knowledge. The more we move away from these stereotypes, the more the instrument will open up. Drummers will perhaps be more motivated to expand their musical vocabularies and integrate more melody and composition into their playing. There have been some incredible songwriters who happen to be drummers first and foremost. Recognize and respect the drums.
