Just one correction: the snare drum is not from Sweden-- I think you were referring to the info I presented about the Swiss Guard, known historically for their mastery of snare drum technique. Seems that the Swiss and the Swedes get mixed up frequently, thanks to that "sw" sound. Also, I'd hesitate to say the drumset was a "pure American invention"-- it's precisely the "impurity" of the kit, and the fact that the name "America" encompasses a wide variety of different and sometimes conflicting ideas, peoples, and cultures that makes it all so interesting.
