2d. Drummer: member of group contracted to do turns around central square (6)
A _ I _ A _

The answer is ANIMAL- which becomes obvious when you do the rest of the crossword. I know that ANIMAL was the drummer in the Muppets, but cannot see any of the rest.

Thanks

Animal could also refer to a member of the pop group The Animals, but I can't parse the rest.
The reverse of Animal, Lamina, may have something to do with it but I'm no scientist.

Thanks everyone - especially Jo. I finished the crossword, so had the central "square" in sight, but never even thought of that
You're welcome, JJ. Thank you :-)
