There are three common types of banjo, the [[Banjo#Four-string banjos|plectrum banjo]], [[Banjo#Tenor banjo|tenor banjo]], and [[Banjo#Low banjos|cello banjo]]. Over time, the four-stringed tenor banjo became the most common banjo used in jazz.<ref name="banjo"/> The drum-like sound box on the banjo made it louder than the acoustic guitars that were common with early jazz bands, and banjos were popular for recording.<ref name="banjo2"/>

Beginning in the early 1950s, some jazz bass players began to use the electric bass guitar in place of the double bass.<ref name="centeralblues">{{cite web |url=http://centraldelawareblues.com/historybassguitar.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140810165843/http://centraldelawareblues.com/historybassguitar.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=August 10, 2014 |title=The history of the electric bass part one: the early days |author=Roger Newell |date=October 24, 2011 |access-date=July 25, 2014 }}</ref>

Jazz drumming is the art of playing percussion, usually the [[drum set]], in jazz styles ranging from 1910s-style Dixieland jazz to 1970s-era [[jazz-rock fusion]] and 1980s-era [[Latin jazz]]. Stylistically, this aspect of performance was shaped by its starting place, New Orleans,<ref name="the history of jazz">Gioia, T. (1997). ''The History of Jazz''. Oxford University Press: New York, NY. {{ISBN|978-0-19-512653-2}}</ref> as well as numerous other regions of the world, including other parts of the [[United States]], the [[Caribbean]], and [[Africa]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Brown |first1=Theodore Dennis |title=A History and Analysis of Jazz Drumming to 1942 |date=1976 |publisher=University of Michigan |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=W1vsAAAAMAAJ}}</ref>

Jazz required a method of playing percussion different from traditional [[Europe]]an styles, one that was easily adaptable to the different rhythms of the new genre, fostering the creation of jazz drumming's hybrid technique.<ref name="evolution">Brown, T, D.
