  • Two Generations Of Hyundai Coupe
    By: Roger Thurston | - The sedan market has always seen intense competition between different car manufacturers. Every new luxury car seems to go one up on the previous car.

However, owing to problems in the gearbox after prolonged use, the model lost its sheen. The company then launched a new car, the Hyundai Coupe, also call ...

  • Purchasing A Beginner Drum Set
    By: Melville Jackson | - Why should one buy a beginner drum set?

    If your kid wants to start drumming, you may consider buying a beginner drum set. A junior drum set is not a toy. It is a proper set that enables the young learner to enjoy drumming lessons and ensures a smooth transition to a full size drum set once the drummer is old enough to do so. One of the key aspects of drumming is coordination. It is easier to achieve hand and feet coordination if one starts learning on a proper drum set.

  • Small Band Jazz - History And Development Drummers Guide Part One.
    By: Eric Starr | - Following the Swing era, the size of jazz groups decreased from large Big Band orchestras to much smaller bands. This trend began in the early 1940s and became increasingly pronounced in the late '40s and early '50s. Jazz terminology reflected this shift: terms such as "trio", "quartet", and "quintet", and styles like Be Bop, Cool Jazz, and Avante Garde all suggest a small band (some other later styles include Hard Bop, a more intensified form of Be Bop, and Soul Jazz which featured a Blues & Fu ...

  • Calypso And Soca - History And Development Drummers Guide
    By: Eric Starr | - Calypso's rhythmic and musical roots are in the song forms of French Patois culture (a French Creole dialect in Trinidad and the Caribbean). While Calypso started as a type of folk music, it developed into a verbal "call and response" form, alternating between the leader (the "griot") and the ensemble. While the style originally featured political and social commentary, it has evolved into dance and party music. Trinidadian musician Aldwyn Roberts (popularly known as Lord Kitchener) was a primar ...

  • Rock And Roll History For Drummers From 1950 To Todays Rock Scene
    By: Eric Starr | - Rock 'n' roll gained popularity in the 1950s due in large part to the development of the electric guitar, jukebox, television, and the 45 RPM record. Key figures such as Alan Freed, Sam Phillips, Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller, and others all took advantage of this technology to draw audiences and musicians alike to participate in the birth of a new era.

  • Proper Positioning Of Your Drum Setup - Drummers Tips And Advices
    By: Eric Starr | - Many of the great teachers will tell you that the snare drum or pad should be positioned at your navel or belly button. For smaller children, since their bodies are not yet evenly proportioned, some adjustments may need to be made. Your arms should be in an L-shape formation at 90 degrees and the sticks should lay comfortably on top of the drum or pad in an upside down V shape.

    If your sticks rest on the rim, the drum or pad needs to be lowered. Oppositely if you find that you ar ...

  • Maintaining Drums, Pedals And Cymbals - Guide To Help Maintaining And Storing Drums
    By: Eric Starr | - There are some simple rules to live by that will minimize cracks, stripping, warping, and so on. There are three situations that put your gear in danger: transporting them, setting them up, and, of course, playing them. Percussion instruments are pretty sturdy instruments. However, they are far from invincible. Bass drums are particularly vulnerable because they are often fitted with wooden hoops and are large, heavy drums. If you are carrying your bass drum in a case over your shoulder and you ...

  • Drum Rack Or Stands - Drum Racks And Drum Stands Discussed
    By: Eric Starr | - Stands

    Stands for drum kits were initially fairly light weight, because they were designed to hold one cymbal, or a snare drum, or later on two rack toms. However, it wasn't until the 1980's that drum companies beefed up the hardware making it possible to have a steady base of support for multiple cymbal arms, etc.

    For a while stands keep getting heavier and bigger, finally adding counter-weight booms and getting big enough to jack up your car for a tire change. N ...

  • Double Basses Or Double Beater Pedals - Drum Hardware Discussion
    By: Eric Starr | - First, let me state that I am not implying that double bass playing is a "must" for all drum solo artists. I'm only saying that if you do want to use double bass drum effects, that today there are two basic directions to consider. Second, I'm limiting my discussion to acoustic drums, since I believe electronics is a separate category to discuss at at another time.

    Okay, let's discuss both acoustic bass drum options.

    For many years I used two bass drums and there a ...

  • Markings For A Repeatable Set-up - Drum Setups Discussed
    By: Eric Starr | - What Needs To Be Marked
    There are three basic concerns; the floor spread, the component heights, and the component angles. Let start with the floor spread. I use a commercially made drum carpet called a Gig Rug. I use it because it is thin enough to roll up and fit into my hardware case and because it has a "creep-stop" barrier for my bass drum. You may have something else that you like, but my method for repeating the exact same floor spread each time starts with simply marking the hard ...

  • Drum Tape On Drums - Different Ways To Use Drum Tape On Drums And Setups.
    By: Eric Starr | - Drum tape can be used on drum heads to sustain vibration of the head, and while usually a well tuned drum does not produce an unwanted tone harmonics, it is common for a drummer to move microphones away from the "sweet spot" positions, in order to create more room for the hand swing. That is were the drum tape comes in.

    Drum tape can be applied to the problematically sounding part of the drum head to sustain that vibration.

    Other uses of drum tape include fixation ...

  • Usb Drumkits - Don't Annoy The Neighbours
    By: Shaun Parker | - There is nothing worse than the exquisite pain of listening to a learner drummer hammering away with all the enthusiasm of the Duracell bunny and all the talent of a gorilla (unless of course it's the Cadbury gorilla). So imagine my excitement when I found there was an electronic drum kit available that could scream out the most raucous cacophony of sound into the earphones of the drummer but only a dull thud to the concerned onlooker. Genius.

    Better still they cost less than the ...

    By: Pasha Yash Chuk | - A word from Ken:

He cited some of his favorite metal music bands and drummers. He was very down because after a few weeks of trying to play it, he was basically getting nowhere. He asked about the heels up or heels down positions and he said he wasn't getting much volume from his bass drum. He wanted tips on get ...

  • The Electric Organ Has Been Replaced By Arranger Keyboards
    By: Mike Shaw | - In recent years, electric organ sales have taken a battering at the hand of the mighty arranger keyboard such as the Yamaha Tyros. It's a shame because the electric organ can do everything a keyboard can do and more. In my opinion, the organ is also more playable as a live instrument. Because of the bass pedals, you can play the organ without any auto chord or drum machine and get a very respectable sound.

    The keyboard on the other hand would sound thin, definitely lacking without ...
