Kenny Clarke and Charlie Christian were on the forefront of the evolution of bebop and each had an outsized impact on the development and usage of their instrument. Clarke paved the way for modern drummers by moving the primary timekeeping role to the ride cymbal and using the drums for accents, a signature move that earned him the nickname of Klook Mop.
Charlie Christian's single-note lines, made possible by the use of an amplified electric guitar, foreshadowed the chromatic language of bebop, though he wouldn't live to see the culmination. As an early adopter and innovator of the instrument that would come to dominate rock music, he earned a place in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
