Toms on the Backbeat

mardi 17 mars 2015

Who was the "first" to come up with hitting a rack/floor tom on the backbeat either with the snare or by itself?



Examples that come to mind are the following, but there are naturally countless songs that do this.



* songs by the Spinners "Could it be I'm Falling in Love", "I'll be there", etc.



* Eagles' songs like "One of these nights", etc.



* REM's "Band and Blame." Rack tom instead of snare during verses.



The first I recall hearing this was in disco/R&B songs of the 70's, but I'm wondering if anyone knows who came up with this idea, where it started. Or did it happen with a bunch of people at the same time?
