Rhythm Section

The rhythm section is a group of musicians in a band responsible for establishing the beat, tempo, and harmonic foundation of the music. Typically, it includes instruments like the bass player, drummer, and sometimes the pianist or guitarist. Their role is to create a steady pulse and support the melody, enabling other instruments and vocalists to improvise or build upon a cohesive musical structure. The rhythm section ensures the music stays coordinated and maintains its groove, serving as the backbone that keeps the band tight and in sync during performances.
