On today's episode of The Rose Room, our host Ruby Pucillo chats with some awesome members of the often underappreciated rhythm section! Damien Underwood discusses the beautiful vibraphone, an unfortunately rare instrument in the rhythm section. Elijah Patchen talks about how music theory, and melody is important--even for a percussionist. Philip Lotterhos explains how important piano skills are and what a pianist's role is in the rhythm section.  If you would like to contact The Rose Room, please email us at LamontRoseRoom@gmail.com
