Re: pop music
You really didn't hear percussion at all in classical music before the 20th century. If you listen to Mozart (classical) or Bach or Vivaldi (baroque), you didn't hear percussion in the arrangements. When you get into composers like Debussy or Ravel (impressionist) in the late 19th and early 20th century you begin to hear percussion appearing in orchestral works. It becomes more prominent as the century progressed (listen to Stravinsky's Rite of Spring.) I think the advent of recording pushed pop music into a more approachable area for the general public. You didn't have to go to a particular event to listen to music. You could turn on a radio or put on a record and you could listen to your favorite music whenever you want. I guess the arrangement of bass/gtr/drums is convenient because it covers the harmony in the chords of the guitar while the drums provide the pulse and rhythm and the bass also fills in the rhythm and harmony as well. It's a small ensemble that fills in most of the requirements of the music, but allows a small ensemble to get together to write and produce music. When was the last time you heard of a 48 piece garage orchestra?
