See youtu.be/OZJNEF6iBNE and youtu.be/dOLBn8GKBlA The latter comes from the Blue Man Group, who seems to specialize in what you say is not possible... | |

I hear a "drum melody" when the other instruments play a constant repeating pattern, acting as the beat, and the drums themselves play a rhythmically varied line, with less repetition, that revolves around and complements the main beat (produced by "melodic"/harmonic instruments). | |
