Since drums are percussion instruments, calling someone who plays them a percussion player is, as you agree, “technically” right. And since a washboard isn’t a drum, calling him “the drummer” is wrong – or, if you prefer, since you think maybe you might see a drum head moving, “technically” wrong.

So the bottom line is, whatever point you were trying to make in the first place – I’m afraid that I’m not smart enough to have figured that out – will have to be made on some other basis, if it’s going to be made at all.

The video is sort of low quality and I think I see the front head of the kick drum moving indicating something, i.e. the drummer, is playing it some. You are a stitch Jon, a real living stitch.
