Founder effect a type of genetic drift

Founder effect is a type of genetic drift.
What is genetic drift?
Random change in allele frequency with out any selection.
In a large population some small group of individuals splits and form  a new colony in a new area with less genetic diversity and the allele frequency of founder population is I would say it's totally different from the parent population.
It ruled out by Ernst Mar in 1942.
