I wouldn't say 'impoverished' - instead I'd quote my uncle Sandy, who said that we call the sheet music a 'chart' because it isn't the music - its the map that leads us to where the music actually is. But yeah, writing drum parts is a black art. I try to give my drummers enough so that they can know what to expect and work from there, but not too much or too little.
