Hårdrockstrummor FG1299 Självständigt arbete, grundnivå inom lärarprogram (musik som ämne 2), 15 hp Ämneslärarexamen med inriktning mot arbete i gymnasieskolan 2019 Institutionen för musik, pedagogik och samhälle (MPS) Handledare: Anna Backman-Bister Linus Fritzson Hårdrockstrummor En analys av olika årtiondens spelstilistiska drag Sammanfattning Denna uppsats riktar fokus mot att ringa in de inlärningsmetoder som kan ha använts för att mynna ut i de speciella spelsätt som anammades av hårdrockstrummisar på 1970- och 1980- talet. Två trummisar har valts ut för att representera de två årtiondena, John Bonham och Vinny Appice. Arbetet berör de två termerna formellt och informellt lärande. Även plankning och transkription diskuteras då detta utgör en stor del av metoden för att nå någon form av tes. De två utvalda trummisarnas spel har transkriberats i såväl kompsituation som solosituation för att sedan jämföras med utvald slagverkslitteratur. Detta arbetet mynnar ut i resultatet att för att erhålla de spelstilistiska drag som återfinns i dessa årtionden bör gråzonen mellan formellt och informellt lärande omfamnas snarare än att de båda sätts i kontrast till varandra.

och bakgrund Musik har för mig varit en stöttepelare genom livet sedan väldigt tidig ålder. Som barn var det i störst utsträckning Thin Lizzy, Janis Joplin och Dio som sjöngs i hemmet snarare än bä, bä vita lamm eller Idas sommarvisa. Detta har såklart färgat mig som musikkonsument på ett sådant vis att jag alltid känt mig ha en väldigt stark personlig förankring till just hårdrock. Relativt tidigt följde jag min fars fotspår till trumsetet där jag väldigt ofta, till övriga familjemedlemmars stora förtret skall tilläggas, satt och spelade till de låtar jag hört genom min uppväxt medan CD-skivorna gick varma i den överansträngda stereon på vår övervåning. Hårdrock som genre har många olika undergenrer och det kan skilja väldigt mycket på hur det låter och hur musikerna spelade mellan årtiondena. Detta är en åsikt som delas av Ericsson och Lindgren (2010) där rockens subgenrespridning liknas vid en mosaik av stilar. De två ”epoker”, om man nu kan kalla det så, som ligger mig närmst hjärtat är 1970-talet och 1980- talet. Det skiljer endast tio år men det låter väldigt olika och trummisarna spelar väldigt olika. Vad beror det på? 1.1 Syfte Syftet med detta arbete är att försöka kartlägga de inlärningsmetoder som kan ha använts under uppkomsten av den tidsenliga spelstil som återfinns bland både 1970-talets samt 1980- talets hårdrockstrummisar. Detta kommer förhoppningsvis dels att utveckla mig som musiker men också ge mig förutsättningar för att skapa ett mer autentiskt spel när det gäller utförandet av musik kopplad till dessa olika genrer. Vidare hoppas jag även att det kommer ge mig verktyg som jag i mitt framtida arbete som slagverkspedagog kommer att ha nytta av gällande undervisning i såväl rocktrummor rent stilmässigt likväl trumset som instrument. Bearbetningen av tidigare slagverkslitteratur kommer förhoppningsvis hjälpa mig att bygga upp en mångfacetterad bank av bra tillvägagångssätt för övning. För att nå syftet med uppsatsen har jag formulerat följande forskningsfrågor: • Vilka skillnader respektive likheter går att urskilja mellan 1970-talets och 1980-talets inlärningsmetoder i hårdrockstrumspel? • Vad går att finna utav relevans för en slagverkspedagog i 1970-talets och 1980-talets inlärningsmetoder för hårdrockstrumspel? 2 2 Litteratur och tidigare forskning 2.1 Slagverkslitteratur När det kommer till litteratur för den som strävar efter att bilda sig inom instrumentet trumset finns det likt många andra instrument en hel uppsjö med både böcker och kompendier riktade mot allt från genrefördjupning till spelteknik. För att förstå det rent speltekniska vokabuläret, vilket är det jag eftersträvar att definiera i denna uppsats, som trummisar från 1970 samt 1980-tal har behöver jag sätta mig in i den dåvarande relevanta litteratur som skulle kunna ligga till grund för deras spel. Till hjälp för att få fram relevant litteratur rådfrågade jag Bengt Stark, lärare i slagverk på Kungliga Musikhögskolan, om tips. Tillsammans med de böcker Bengt föreslog hade jag redan en del böcker

Of all the legendary heavy metal singers, Ronnie James Dio was the greatest of them all. Born Ronald James Padavona on July 10, 1942 in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, he fronted a holy trinity of iconic bands – Rainbow, Black Sabbath and Dio. And while there were good times and bad in his lengthy career, the great man went out on a high. The last album he made before his death on May 16, 2010 was with Heaven & Hell – the band comprised of the same line-up that recorded the Black Sabbath album Mob Rules in 1981. Dio was first introduced to the world stage in 1975 when he and three fellow members of the group Elf were absorbed into former Deep Purple guitarist Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow.

  • Jorn Song for Ronnie James
    Song For Ronnie James Jorn There's a voice in the world for the Lonely. There's a fire in the heart of a King. And the Broken One's will know, They are not the only, When He starts to sing. I turn to face the Sun, When the pain is calling. My mind is on the run. Another Angel falling..... The Legend lives. Like a rainbow in the Dark. For the Children, And the runaway Heart. When you Dream Evil, And your world is lost and blind, He will move your inner Soul, With the sound of Rock N Roll! It's Rock N Roll! One more for the vision, Let's burn one more for the road. We Speed at Night, Yeah! It's our Fire and Light! We are Legion, And the Legacy lives on. I must save the Crystal Ball, When the Wizard starts to fall. I can hear the Call! This is a Song... This is a Song for Ronnie James. Will never lose it, the Soul and Music. Come join the Family, All you Children of the Sea. Sail on forever and be the Melody. Do you find it strange that someone wrote this song? But I feel the Magic, And it makes me strong. Like a book of Revelation, I will find my Inspiration. You are always there, If I'm in Hell or Heaven. One Night in the City. Hear the Master of the Moon. Feel the Power, Sending shivers across the room. Neon Knights of the Darknes. They are hungry for the Rock.

The story of HOUNDS, and the St. Louis-based quartet’s major label debut, CATTLE IN THE SKY, just may be the epitome of rock-and-roll success in the 21st century. After beginning with a shiny pop sound, HOUNDS pivoted to a more aggressive brand of rock laced with rich and resounding harmonies, returning to and embracing old-school influences, The Beatles, The Doors and The Beach Boys. They changed their name to HOUNDS—a wink to alt-rockers, The Districts—and by 2017, released a self-titled LP of tracks cut live in the studio. In 2019, Jordan suggested the band to audition for the second season of the nationwide band competition, Who Will Rock You?, a web-series sponsored by TopGolf venues. They went on to win the competition winning a recording contract and partnership with a prominent management company. Built on vibrant, ringing harmonies and concentrated, muscular riffs, the four crafted a forward-moving, immediate, and pulsing collection of songs ranging from greasy rumble-seat rock to up-to-the-minute, angst ridden modern musings. Start with “Shake Me Up” and follow the quartet down the dragstrip lined with poodle-skirt Bettys and their denim-clad boyfriends; a veritable mash-up of jukebox soul and reformist rock.

  • Will Holograms Dominate ​Live Performances in Rock Music in The
    Rock and Roll Never Dies -Will Holograms Dominate ​ Live Performances in Rock Music in the Future? ​ The Hologram of Deceased Singer Ronnie James Dio in the Context of Rock Authenticity Master Thesis Master Applied Musicology 2017/2018 - University of Utrecht Written by Alina Vietoris Student Number: 6306101 Thesis Supervisor: Sara Lambrecht Abstract Nowadays, technology is an inevitable part of our world. It keeps developing rapidly, resulting in new ways of entertainment and simplification of our everyday lives. Naturally, technology has an influence on live music performances as well. In 2016, the "hologram" of deceased rock legend Ronnie James Dio had its debut at the Wacken festival in Germany, later followed by a world tour. This hologram performance was not the first of its kind, and it will probably not be the last. However, the potential success of hologram technology in the music industry appears to be genre-specific: what is accepted in pop music is not necessarily accepted in rock music. Like every other genre, rock is defined by its own underlying values, traditions and politics of authenticity. This thesis is based upon the results of a survey which was designed to examine how hologram technology is perceived by rock audiences. The aim of this research was finding an answer to the question if hologram performances can dominate or even replace live performances in rock music in the future. The survey results show that hologram performances in rock music are predominantly perceived in a negative way. This thesis examines the survey outcomes in the light of rock authenticity and aims at explaining the negative perception of hologram performances in rock music.
