But of course there's a broad area of crossover. When I write for our community band in a pop style and specify drum set, I leave the part open and just specify, i.e., "8 bars jazz waltz." But that can't always work, as witness watching the guy who TRIES to play set with the Boston Pops--one heckofa percussionist, I'm sure, but NOT the instincts of a good set player!!!
