description: "Jerome Douglas Cooper was an American free jazz musician. In addition to trap drums, Cooper played balafon, chirimia and various electronic instruments, and referred to himself as a \"multi-dimensional drummer,\" meaning that his playing involved \"layers of sounds and rhythms\". AllMusic reviewer Ron Wynn called him \"A sparkling drummer and percussionist... An excellent accompanist\". Another Allmusic reviewer stated that \"in the truest sense this drummer is a magician, adept at transformation and the creation of sacred space\"."
