[Dixielandjazz] Pipes and Pipers

[Don Ingle]

The music for both pipes and drums are well-learned, so when there are 
occational massed pipe and rums bands at large festivals of Scots, they 
play withe an amazing matched precision. When the bass drummers swirl 
their beaters they are  synchronized in exactmotion. Pipers plays the 
same preciise way, with the snap and grace notes all the same as if one 
instrument. Would some big bands do as well.
