Slap bass "to be reduced by 50%".

[Glebe]

Slap bass is to be reduced by up to 50%, if a leaked government dossier is to be believed.

"In the current climate, slap bass is proving to be unnecessary and even wasteful," says the document. "We may also introduce measures that could see a lessening of timpani, if drummers don't start being more economical."

I'll have more news presently!
