The Drummer of Ravel's Boléro

The Drummer of Ravel's Boléro

8 mins | Comedy, Music | May 15, 1992

Probably no one in the public listening to the orchestra's rendition of Ravel's Bolero notices him but the drummer is a regular hero. For, although his mind is assailed by loads of unsettling thoughts and worries, he tries to keep the rhythm at any cost. He knows all too well that he falls out of time only once all the magic of the piece will vanish.
