The difference was observed in the forepart of the corpus callosum, which is a component of the brain. It means that it linked the right and the left hemisphere of the brain. This part is also responsible for carrying out motor planning. The results suggested that the drummers had
several thick, sturdy fibers in an essential connecting tract located between the two halves of the brain. It proved that information is traded between the two halves more quickly in musicians than the unmusical individuals. The semblance of the corpus callosum also forecasted the type of
performance given by the drummers; if the fibers were thicker in the corpus callosum, the drummer would perform better and vice versa.
The analysts also studied about sparse sampling. This term refers to the ability of the brain of drummers not to be capable of being much active or energetic in motor functions in comparison to the unmusical individuals. This suggests that an effective brain systemization in the
experienced drummers indicated that their regions of the brain were activated less.
