  • The History Of Cymbals

Over the next several thousand years this breakthrough""along with the processes of mixing, casting, shaping and tempering (further strengthening the

  • Snare, Cymbals, Stands And Accessories Setup Guide Part Six
    By: Ronald Black | - There are some even more rare cases like myself in which drummers play a left handed but right footed setup. In that case, the drum set is set up completely for a right handed person, but the ride cymbal is moved over to the left side of the kit instead of the right, over near the floor tom. To play drums in this way requires slightly different playing techniques than just a full right or left handed setup. If you're left handed, you might want to check out a left handed, right footed setup and ...

  • Snare, Cymbals, Stands And Accessories Setup Guide Part Five
    By: Ronald Black | - On a regular right handed kit setup, the ride cymbal should be placed above the floor tom on the right side of your kit. Because the ride cymbal is made to be played on its top and not its edge, like the crash cymbal, it should not be placed up as high as the crash cymbal. Be careful not to place it low enough so that it knocks against the top of your floor tom, either. Be a little Goldilocks again, ind find just the right height for you.

    By: Ronald Black | - At the top of the cymbal stand, you'll see what's called the cymbal tilter. The tilter may or may not be in a folded up position when you first go to set it up. You'll know it's in the folded up position if you're looking at it and you can't picture a cymbal being attached to it. In this case, simply unscrew the hand screw that you'll find on the side of the tilter just enough so you can move the tilter up and down. Put the tilter in a more or less horizontal position, and use the same hand scre ...

    By: Ronald Black | - If you have assembled your Hi Hat cymbals correctly, your two hi hat cymbals would now be on top of each other on the hi hat stand, looking like a sandwich. If you step on the hi hat pedal, you'll see the rod going up and down uselessly. Step on the pedal just a little bit, and then tighten the hand screw on the outside of the clutch. Then, when you lift up your foot and the rod goes up, it will take the clutch and the top hi hat cymbal up along with it. The amount of space between the hi hat cy ...

  • Snare, Cymbals, Stands And Accessories Setup Guide Part Two
    By: Ronald Black | - Depending on the type of hi hat stand you have, the rod might have a hinge in it, causing I t to flop over while still connected, rather than being straight upright. Next, look for a thick, hollow tube with what looks like a small plate on one end with a felt disc stacked on top of it. Take this hollow tube with the plate side facing up and put it over the long rod, so that the long rod is inside the hollow tube. If your long rod has a hinge, you'll need to hold it upright as you put the hollow ...

  • Snare, Cymbals, Stands And Accessories Setup Guide Part One
    By: Ronald Black | - The snare is a shallow drum with crooked, wiggly wires attached to one of the heads. These crooked wires are called snares, and they are what give this drum both its name and its distinctive sound. The head that has the snares lying against it is a special extra thin head and should never be hit with your sticks. It should be treated as carefully as an egg. The snare drum uses a special stand to hold it, called, you guessed it, a snare stand. There are generally two different kinds of snare stan ...

  • How To Develop Precision Speed On The Drum Kit
    By: Ashley Appling | - When I encounter most young drummers today, the most prominent question seems to be, "How can I develop speed around the drum kit?" I always follow that up with, "What is your purpose for playing fast?" Often that leaves a pause, with an uncertain answer that leaves them wondering, "What is the reason I want to play fast on the drum kit?" Usually it is selfish in nature. For example, "I want my friends to see how fast I can play", or "I want to play fast like this particular drummer", etc... ...

  • Setting Up And Tuning Your Drums Guide For The Youngest Drummers Out There Part Three
    By: Ronald Black | - Tuning drums starts with a drum key. I actually have one on my keychain so I'll almost never be without one. Unless I lose my keys, but that will never happen, right? You need this little tool to turn the rods that tighten or loosen the drumhead on the drum. This is called tuning the drum, which you will learn to do shortly. The second use for a key is to tighten various things on the hardware or stands. If you go to tighten something that's too small to grab with your fingers, you'll probably n ...

    By: Ronald Black | - Lets examine a drum, if you look closely at the rim, you'll notice that the rim has holes in it. The rods, long pieces of metal with threads on one end and another end that your drum key fits onto, fit through the hole and down the outside of the drum and into the threaded hole at the top of the lug. The lugs are the pieces attached to the outside of the shell of each drum. The drum key is used to tighten or loosen the rods on the drum to change the pitch.

The best kind of rug to use will have rubber on the bottom and rug on the top. Next time you walk into a restaurant, check out the rug that you're supposed to wipe your feet on when you walk in.

  • Non Standard Sizes Of Drum Sticks And Their Impact On Drumming
    By: Ronald Black | - You'll sometimes see sticks made by one manufacturer or another that are named after a famous drummer. These are usually slight variations on a standard size, and they usually cost a little bit more because the person after whom they're named is just really, really cool. It's certainly not a bad idea to check out a pair named after a drum hero of yours, but don't expect to magically sound as good as your hero by merely using his sticks. I know you're smarter than that, and I don't even know you. ...

  • Fusion And Surf Music - History And Development Drummers Guide
    By: Eric Starr | - Not so much as style as a feel, the purpose of Half Time Standard Rock is to fill up the groove in slower Rock tempos. The addition of 16th notes from the ride hand creates the active feel in this groove, making it practical only for songs in slower tempos. The tempo range is narrower than that of the Standard Rock range, with quarter note equals from 60 to 96 bpm. The term "Fusion" refers to the fusing of many different styles into a distinctive sound. Predominately an instrumental form of mus ...

  • Small Band Jazz - History And Development Drummers Guide Part Two.
    By: Eric Starr | - Though Avante Garde utilizes the ideas of the previous two styles, it requires more technically advanced drumming, because the time pattern is usually less apparent, and is sometimes deliberately obscured or even omitted entirely (as with much of the music of Cecil Taylor). As well, tempos may exceed even those of Be Bop; Avante Garde drummers often use polyrhythmic figures; and the form of a song is sometimes abandoned entirely-if there was a form to begin with (that is, if the playing isn't ba ...

  • 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.

  • Are You An Organized Drummer?
    By: Daniel N Brown | - Copyright 2006 Daniel N Brown

    What does it mean to be an "organized" drummer?

    When your band plays a song, do you play that song the same way every time? If not, you should. Here's why...

    It can all be summed up into one word called "predictability." So many drummers will never play a song the same way twice. This, many times, throws the other musicians off, potentially causing a drag in timing or increasing the chances of a mislead cue.
