    PERFORMED IDENTITIES: HEAVY METAL MUSICIANS BETWEEN 1984 AND 1991 Bradley C. Klypchak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2007 Committee: Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

  • That Persistently Funky Drummer
    That Persistently Funky Drummer o say that well known drummer Zoro is a man with a vision is an understatement. TTo relegate his sizeable talents to just R&B drumming is a mistake. Zoro is more than just a musician who has been voted six times as the “#1 R&B Drummer” in Modern Drummer and Drum! magazines reader’s polls. He was also voted “Best Educator” for his drumming books and also “Best Clinician” for the hundreds of workshops he has taught. He is a motivational speaker as well as a guy who has been called to exhort the brethren now in church pulpits. Quite a lot going on for a guy whose unique name came from the guys in the band New Edition teasing him about the funky looking hat he always wore. Currently Zoro drums with Lenny Kravitz and Frankie Valli (quite a wide berth of styles just between those two artists alone) and he has played with Phillip Bailey, Jody Watley and Bobby Brown (among others) in his busy career. I’ve known Zoro for years now and what I like about him is his commitment level... first to the Lord and then to persistently following who he believes he is supposed to be. He is a one man dynamo... and yes he really is one funky drummer. 8 Christian Musician: You certainly have says, “faith is the substance of things hoped Undoubtedly, God’s favor was on my life and a lot to offer musically.

  • PERCUSSION INSTRUMENTS of the ORCHESTRA Cabasa
    PERCUSSION INSTRUMENTS OF THE ORCHESTRA Cabasa - A rattle consisting of a small gourd covered with a loose network of strung beads. It is held by a handle and shaken with a rotating motion. Claves - A pair of hardwood cylinders, each approximately 20 cm. long. One cylinder rests against the fingernails of a loosely formed fist (cupped to act as a resonator) and is struck with the other cylinder. Cowbell - A metal bell, usually with straight sides and a slightly expanding, nearly rectangular cross section. A type without a clapper and played with a drumstick is most often used in orchestras. Castanets - Consists of two shell-shaped pieces of wood, the hollow sides of which are clapped together. They produce an indefinite pitch and are widely used in Spanish music especially to accompany dance. When used in an orchestra, they are often mounted on either side of a piece of wood that is held by the player and shaken. Sleigh bells - Small pellet bells mounted in rows on a piece of wood with a protruding handle. Tambourine - A shallow, single-headed frame drum with a wooden frame in which metal disks or jingles are set. It is most often held in one hand and struck with the other. Bongos - A permanently attached pair of small, single-headed, cylindrical or conical drums. One drum is of slightly larger diameter and is tuned about a fifth below the smaller. The pair is held between the knees and struck with the hands. Maracas - A Latin American rattle consisting of a round or oval-shaped vessel filled with seeds or similar material and held by a handle.
