  • Ludwig-Musser 2010 Concert Percussion Catalog AV8084 2010

    Ludwig-Musser 2010 Concert Percussion Catalog AV8084 2010

    Welcome to the world of Ludwig/Musser Concert Percussion. The instruments in this catalog represent the finest quality and sound in percussion instruments today from a company that has been making instruments and accessories in the USA for decades. Ludwig is “The Most famous Name in Drums” since 1909 and Musser is “First in Class” for mallet percussion since 1948. Ludwig & Musser aren’t just brand names, they are men’s names. William F. Ludwig Sr. & William F. Ludwig II were gifted percussionists and astute businessmen who were innovators in the world of percussion. Clair Omar Musser was also a visionary mallet percussionist, composer, designer, engineer and leader who founded the Musser Company to be the American leader in mallet instruments. Both companies originated in the Chicago area. They joined forces in the 1960’s and originated the concept of “Total Percussion.” With our experience as a manufacturer, we have a dedicated staff of craftsmen and marketing professionals that are sensitive to the needs of the percussionist. Several on our staff are active percussionists today and have that same passion for excellence in design, quality and performance as did our founders. We are proud to be an American company competing in a global economy. Musser Marimbas, Xylophones, Chimes, Bells, & Vibraphones are available in a wide range of sizes and models to completely satisfy the needs of beginners, schools, universities and professionals. With a choice of hammered copper, smooth copper or fiberglass bowls, Ludwig Timpani always deliver the full rich sound that generations of timpanists have come to expect from Ludwig.

    EXTENDED PERFORMANCE TECHNIQUES AND COMPOSITIONAL STYLE IN THE SOLO CONCERT VIBRAPHONE MUSIC OF CHRISTOPHER DEANE Joshua D. Smith, B.M., M.M. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2008 APPROVED: Mark Ford, Major Professor Eugene Migliaro Corporon, Minor Professor Christopher Deane, Committee Member Terri Sundberg, Chair of the Division of Instrumental Studies Graham Phipps, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music James C. Scott, Dean of College of Music Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Smith, Joshua D., Extended performance techniques and compositional style in the solo concert vibraphone music of Christopher Deane. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2008, 66 pp., 1 table, 8 figures, 20 musical examples, references, 29 titles. Vibraphone performance continues to be an expanding field of music. Earliest accounts of the presence of the vibraphone and vibraphone players can be found in American Vaudeville from the early 1900s; then found shortly thereafter in jazz bands as early as the 1930s, and on the classical concert stage beginning in 1949. Three Pieces for Vibraphone, Opus 27, composed by James Beale in 1959, is the first solo concert piece written exclusively for the instrument. Since 1959, there have been over 690 pieces written for solo concert vibraphone, which stands as evidence of the popularity of both the instrument and the genre of solo concert literature. Christopher Deane has contributed to solo vibraphone repertoire with works that are regarded as staples in the genre. Deane’s compositions for vibraphone consistently expand the technical and musical potential of the instrument.

  • The Percussion Family

    The Percussion Family

    The Percussion Family The percussion family is the largest family in the orchestra. Percussion instruments include any instrument that makes a sound when it is hit, shaken, or scraped. It's not easy to be a percussionist because it takes a lot of practice to hit an instrument with the right amount of strength, in the right place and at the right time. Some percussion instruments are tuned and can sound different notes, like the xylophone, timpani or piano, and some are untuned with no definite pitch, like the bass drum, cymbals or castanets. Percussion instruments keep the rhythm, make special sounds and add excitement and color. Unlike most of the other players in the orchestra, a percussionist will usually play many different instruments in one piece of music. The most common percussion instruments in the orchestra include the timpani, xylophone, cymbals, triangle, snare drum, bass drum, tambourine, maracas, gongs, chimes, celesta, and piano. The piano is a percussion instrument. You play it by hitting its 88 black and white keys with your fingers, which suggests it belongs in the percussion family. The piano has the largest range of any instrument in the orchestra. It is a tuned instrument, and you can play many notes at once using both your hands. Within the orchestra the piano usually supports the harmony, but it has another role as a solo instrument (an instrument that plays by itself), playing both melody and harmony. Timpani look like big polished bowls or upside-down teakettles, which is why they're also called kettledrums. They are big copper pots with drumheads made of calfskin or plastic stretched over their tops.

    Stick and Mallet Section for the Marching Percussion Ensemble by Clif Walker, Associate Director of Bands & Director of Percussion Studies – Blue Springs High School

    Stick and Mallet Section for the Marching Percussion Ensemble By Clif Walker, Associate Director of Bands & Director of Percussion Studies – Blue Springs High School There are many great stick and mallet companies in the world. At Blue Springs High School we use Innovative Percussion due to the superior variety and availability of both quality product and service. The recommendations below can easily be translated into similar products offered by different companies. I. Marching Bass Drum Mallets: A. Size/Weight: Bass drum mallets generally graduate with the size of the drum – the smaller the drum the smaller the mallet (less air to move, less needed to move that air). If you march smaller bass drums (16”, 18”, 20”, 24” for example) you may not need 4 different sizes of bass mallets due to relatively close sizes of this configuration. I have had success with the following recipe: Drum sizes 14” - 18” Innovative Percussion FBX-1 Mallets Drum sizes 20”, 22” Innovative Percussion FBX-2 Mallets Drum sizes 24”, 26” Innovative Percussion FBX-3 Mallets Drum sizes 28”, 30” Innovative Percussion FBX-4 Mallets Drum size “32 Innovative Percussion FBX-5 Mallets If your bass drum section is consistently staged visually backfield or you have a very large band/winds, you may want to consider larger mallets (and larger drums, and larger kids to carry them!). Keep in mind, mallets size/weight effects volume, not articulation. B. Articulation: Bass drum mallets general come in 3 degrees of articulation: 1. Wood (very hard/very articulate) –back of the felt mallet/using the handle side 2.
