Jazz drummer Lionel Hampton ruled the stage with his sticks, swinging them wildly but with intent and talent. Discover Hampton's legacy, which began at the Holy Rosary Academy, where he learned how to lay down a drum line at the behest of the nuns who ran the school. Performing with the likes of Louis Armstrong and Chick Corea, Hampton was propelled by genius to the top of his game, one in which he introduced a new instrument, the vibraphone.
