During the 1920s, the device known as the low boy was invented. The name was appropriate because it stood approximately one to two feet off the ground (2). Like the bass drum pedal, the low boy was a contraption that would be triggered by the foot. When it was triggered, it would bring two cymbals together to create a "chink" sound. Before this invention, drummers would accent certain points in the music by holding two cymbals together in one hand and creating the noise that way. Now, with this invention

A second drummer, holding his instrument between his knees, joins in, playing with the same staccato attack. A third black man, seated on the ground, plucks at a string instrument, the body of which is roughly fashioned from a calabash

and the band was pretty much scattered all over the stage. The first song they played was Earth Jam. Everybody slowly was coming together and played. One thing that caught my eye first was the weird banjo and what looked like a guitar but it was the drums. The music kept getting gradually louder and faster.
