Tony Williams was one of the best drummers ever to play drums. He was playing a different instrument than his predisessors--one he invented, and which every drummer since him has been playing. Except, perhaps, for drummers who learned from Elvin Jones, who also invented a new instrument. Of course, everyone after them has been playing both their instruments, which, in fact, are the drums.
