What would you say if I told you that drums can sing? The best jazz drummers have always understood this as fact. Allison Miller has even made it a core part of her artistic mission — as drummer, a composer and a bandleader, notably with her ensemble Boom Tic Boom.

Jazz Night in America recently caught up with Miller, who skillfully demonstrates the concept of “melodic drumming” using her drums and cymbals, a Duke Ellington tune, and a new piece of technology. “There’s something about the platform of jazz,” Miller says, “that it lays this palette of having such deep communication with your other bandmates. And for me that's why I play this music.” --NATE CHINEN
