Following on Mike's comment about percussion in classical and non-classical music I remember Wynton Marsalis' comment. He was on a tour of the UK in which he alternated each night between classical concerto concerts with an orchestra and jazz concerts with a band. The interviewer asked him how he could possibly stay in style for the different kinds of music and he said: "I just have to remember that when I am performing jazz the rhythm is taken care of for me by a drummer, and when I am performing a classical concerto I have to internalise the rhythm". For him it was as simple as that.
