The English rock band Led Zeppelin had gained huge popularity when its Immigration song was released in 1970. It was after this song that people had started loving Led Zeppelin Lyrics and praising Led Zeppelin songs. Originally known as the New Yardbirds in 1968, they had a mild amount of success which changed when they changed the name of the group to a name that could portray their brand of songs. There are many stories, but basically it was Keith Moon who told Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones that their new project would crash like a balloon of lead, which is an idiom used in England to depict disastrous results. Hence, the name Led Zeppelin. The word lead was spelled 'Led' just to make sure people pronounced the name right. After changing their name to Led Zeppelin, they signed a deal with Atlantic Records. The deal bestowed on them a considerable amount of artistic freedom. Ever since then, Led Zeppelin songs have seen considerable amount of success in all formats. Bands from other countries have sung covers of Led Zeppelin lyrics.led zeppelin lyrics]]> led zeppelin songs]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Immortal-Of-Led-Zeppelin---s-Lyrics/3630342 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 02:49:57 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Immortal-Of-Led-Zeppelin---s-Lyrics/3630342 If you've always wondered how to get your drums sounding right then you've come to the right place. A lot of drummers will allow their drum sets to get out of tune, which can then make everything else sound out of whack. The goal of this article is to help percussionists learn how to keep their drum sets in tune. You'll also learn the basic tools that are used to tune the drums such as a drum key and a drum dial. The drum set has many parts that can be tuned. However, cymbals cannot be tuned, so it's always better to spend a little extra money when buying cymbals. The Snare drum, kick drum, toms and floor tom all need to be tuned from time to time. Most drums are tuned using the same basic principle and the same method. Every time a drum head needs to be replaced or sounds out of pitch, it will need to be tuned. On every drum there is a rim (hoop), a tension rod, a tension rod holder (lug) and the drum head itself.the drum set]]> the snare drum]]> how play drums]]> how to drum]]> percussion]]> tuning a drum]]> best drum set]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/How-To-Tune-A-Drum/3621314 Thu, 02 Feb 2012 20:28:58 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/How-To-Tune-A-Drum/3621314 new year celebrations]]> bangkok serviced apartments]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/New-Year-Celebrations-In-Bangkok/3556397 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 03:04:35 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/New-Year-Celebrations-In-Bangkok/3556397 Anyone being introduced to jazz, sooner or later learns of Ray Brown, one of the most influential bass player of all time. His timing, sound, overall concept, and interaction is well known by all students of bass. But what is truly worthy of being noticed, is that Ray Brown was excellent in the choice of musicians to play with. Two outstanding examples are Gregory Hutchinson and Jeff Hamilton. They have undoubtedly helped to highlight Ray Brown's ideas as well as timing, creating one of the best "Jazz Rhythm Sections" we ever had. One can come easily to this conclusion just analyzing some of his exceptional album tracks. Let's take for instance a very characteristic song from the record "Bam Bam Bam": F.S.R. The title is an acronym and stands for: "For Sonny Rollins." The theme, very simple and catchy, is surely a tribute to Sonny Rollins. The harmony, much like one of the best known Sonny's tune, Doxy, is almost an excuse to improvise on its chord progression, very loved by jazz musicians.Free Jazz Music]]> Ray Brown Trio]]> Greg Hutchinson]]> Best drummers]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/---jazz-Rhythms-Sections-----Jeff-Hamilton--Greg-Hutchinson-And-The-Ray-Brown-Trio/3488256 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 02:32:19 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/---jazz-Rhythms-Sections-----Jeff-Hamilton--Greg-Hutchinson-And-The-Ray-Brown-Trio/3488256 You may have never imagined visiting Africa; however the city of Accra that was originally built around as a port and is now a favorite tourist destination in the African subcontinent.
