FMEA Packet -Drumset for Nonpercussionist Drumset for the Non-Percussionist presented by Mike Wendeln Leon High School, Tallahassee, FL [email protected] FMEA Convention Tampa, FL January 11th, 2013 Drumset Instruments (stuff you MUST have) -Bass Drum (with foot pedal) -Snare Drum (with stand) -Toms (tom-toms) -mounted to the Bass or with legs (known as a “Floor Tom”) -Hi-Hat (includes the stand AND a pair of cymbals) -Crash Cymbal (with stand) -Ride Cymbal (with stand) Setup (follow these steps) a. Bass Drum should have support “legs” that extend from sides: these legs should be setup to extend down and slightly forward, so that the far edge of the Bass Drum is an inch off the ground. The Bass Drum Pedal should clamp snugly on the lower rim of the near side and sit flat on the floor. b. The Snare stand should be setup with the Snare Drum sitting relatively flat. (The Snare wires go on the BOTTOM). The seat or “throne” should be setup and everything arranged so that, while seated, the player’s RIGHT foot is on the Bass Pedal and the Snare is sitting between the player’s knees. The legs should make approximately a 90˚ angle between the thigh and lower leg. c. Next, remove the Clutch from the Hi-Hat post. Attach the Upper Hi-Hat Cymbal to the Clutch, thread the Bottom Hi-Hat Cymbal (upside-down), thread the Clutch on top. Tighten the Clutch so that the cymbals almost touch. The Hi-Hat goes where the LEFT foot is sitting. d. Next add any Toms to your setup. This includes the SMALLEST drum on the LEFT and progressively they increase in size down to the Floor Tom, it sits on the floor just to the RIGHT of the player’s RIGHT leg. Setup the Toms with a flatter angle tilting slightly toward the player. e. Lastly, place Crash and Ride Cymbal on their stands. Use two felt washers on each Cymbal Stand, one below the Cymbal and one above. Tighten the wing-nut, but DO NOT restrict movement of the Cymbal when hit. The Crash cymbal traditionally is on the player’s LEFT side above the drums, and the Ride is traditionally on the RIGHT. Both (or more) Cymbals should be mounted fairly flat, with a slight tilt in toward the player. Be sure the player can comfortably play the Cymbals, not too high! Drumset for the Non-Percussionist - 1 Sounds/Tuning Tuning for dummies Get a drum key for turning the tension rods (the little screws around the rim). The idea is to keep all those rods tightened evenly. This way the head vibrates with a steady, clear tone. Detach the drum from the drumset and while muffling the bottom head, tap lightly about 1” from each tuning rod to hear the pitch. Try to match these pitches around the drum. It helps to apply some pressure to the head after an adjustment to help it “settle in” (drum CPR). Tuning a drum consists of three total steps: 1. Even the tension between all rods. 2. Repeat on the Bottom Head. 3. Check/Adjust the relationship between the two heads. Sounds Bass: should be low pitched, and a little “thud”y, short sustain. A blanket or pillow inside !the drum resting against the heads will help you cut down the sustain. Snare: should be tight sounding with short sustain. Toms: should ring with clear tone, the toms should sound “good” when played together. Drumset for the Non-Percussionist - 2 Hi-Hat: played with Shoulder of stick on the edge of the cymbals. -closed: press cymbals together with foot- tight short sound -open: longer crunchy-er sound, made by loosening the foot pedal SIGHTLY -a tight “chick” sound, made by using left foot to quickly clamp the cymbals together Ride Cymbal: played near outer edge of cymbal, with Tip of stick, articulate attack and !somewhat ring-y . Bell of Ride: strike the “dome” of the cymbal near the center with the Shoulder of the !stick, produces a clear, piercing sound. Crash Cymbal: played with Shoulder of stick on the edge of the cymbal, produces an !explosive sound with long sustain. Thoughts on Tuning: Don’t be afraid to tune the drums! Make little adjustments every day and you’ll quickly learn the skill. Even if you “don’t know what you’re listening for”... Ask yourself: do I like the sound or not? If not, change it back, try something different. REMEMBER: make small adjustments! Notation For a hardcore legend of sounds see: http://web.mit.edu/merolish/Public/drums.pdf Thoughts on Notation: Unlike most instruments, drumset music varies wildly between composers writing out specifics, and giving only a vague description of style. Try to decipher what the composer wants, and balance that with what your drummer can do realistically. Sometime you need to simplify the pattern while trying to maintain the flavor of the original. Try to take into consideration what is most IMPORTANT elements of the groove and try to conserve those things. Drumset for the Non-Percussionist - 3 Beats / Grooves / Styles / Patterns Rock: Jazz: Island Grooves (Caribbean, Steel Band): Latin (Cuban, Afro-Cuban): Drumset for the Non-Percussionist - 4 Samba (Brazilian): Drumset Practice Tips!!! -It’s ALL about coordination. You are mostly practicing uncomfortable actions until they are more comfortable. When having trouble with a certain groove, break it down to the basic coordination. Try two limbs at a time (RH & LH, RF & LF, LH & LF, RH & LF, etc...). You’ll probably discover which combination is trouble... work on it, then add the other limb parts in one by one. -Once grooves are solid...the player can begin to add “fills” and “the hits”. Fills are just a variation of the main groove, which should add to the musical line. Typically at the end of phrases, they usually include a Crash at the beginning of the new section. “The Hits” refer to the drumset player hitting an accent sound on a certain rhythmic beat... In fact, often drumset parts will simply show slashes for the continuing groove, and a rhythm figure above the staff. The hits outline where the drummer should place emphasis. See below: Drumset for the Non-Percussionist - 5 Other stuff you’ll need! -Drumset Sticks !typically on the lighter (thinner) side (NOT marching sticks!) !recommendations: !!Vic Firth - 5A or 5B (medium), 7A or 7B (thinner) !!Vater - Fusion model ! Tips of sticks should be WOOD, not the plastic nylon tip! -Drum Heads ! -It’s a solid idea to stick with classics: ! Snare top: Remo Ambassabor (coated), Evans Genera (coated) ! Snare bottom: Remo Ambassador (snare side), Evans Genera Resonant ! Toms top: Remo Emperor coated or clear, Evans G2 (coated or clear) ! Toms bottom: Remo Ambassabor (clear), Evans Genera (clear) ! Bass playing side: Aquarian Super Kick I or II, Remo Powerstroke 3 ! Bass front: any head is fine, I prefer it with a small hole cutout (a “ported” head) -Cymbals !Crash: usually 15” - 18”: look for a nice big explosion of sound !Ride: usually 20” - 22”: look for a good “ping” as well as a good bell sound !

  • Percussion Primer / Triangle by Neil Grover
    Percussion Primer / Triangle by Neil Grover SELECTION The triangle should be the highest, non-pitched member of the percussion family. Sizes range from 4” to 10”, however, the best size for concert playing is between 6” and 9”. A larger triangle provides a bigger internal working area for easier execution, however, it is heavier and more difficult to control. Triangles are made from steel, brass or bronze, each producing a different sonority. SUSPENSION A triangle needs to be suspended so that it vibrates unencumbered and freely, al- lowing maximum overtone resonance to be produced. It is very important that the instrument be suspended using a very thin, yet strong, mono-filament line. Fishing line works great and is also inexpensive. The use of string, cable, shoelaces, etc. will effec- tively dampen the resonance of any triangle. Using a second “catch line” will pre- vent the triangle from falling to the floor, should the primary line break. A light “triangle clip” will allow the triangle to be mounted on a music stand when not in use. STROKE The triangle should never be played when mounted on a music stand. It should al- ways be held at eye level and struck on the bottom leg with a motion that “pushes away” the bottom leg. This method will produce the maximum overtone sonority. A triangle sound full of overtones will blend with other instruments. Remember, a tri- angle is a non-pitched instrument and should have a very lush array of overtones, it should not sound like a bell! BEATERS Beaters are available in a large variety of sizes (diameters), materials and shapes.

  • 5-Piece Junior Drum Kit Assembly Instruction
    5-Piece Junior Drum Kit Assembly Instruction Thank you for choosing this quality set from Cecilio. Use the instructions as a guide to help you assemble your new drum set. Please note that this manual is designed for a number of Cecilio drum sets. If you are unsure of what your drum set should be supplied with, please check with the Cecilio dealer you purchased the kit from. There are many parts that make up a drum set, but don’t worry, once you get started the process is very intuitive and fun. Bass Drum: 1. Lay the Bass drum Shell (A) on a flat surface with the front side up. You can identify the front side by the location of the Bass Drum leg mount (B). The leg mounts are closer to the front side of the bass drum (furthest from the playing position). 2. The “logo drumhead” should be fitted to the front of the bass drum and aligned straight. 3. Place the drum head (C) (same diameter as the drum) directly on the top of the drum shell followed by the hoop (D). 4. Gently hang the claws (E) over the edge of the hoop, and line them up with the lugs. Take the longest ten- sion screws (aka T-Rods), slip a washer on each, and insert them through the holes in the claws. 5. Tighten the screws into the lugs using your fingers two at a time, just enough so the hoops are secure, and no wrinkles are in the head. 6. Now you may use a drum key (F) to tighten the tension bolts in equal amounts (1 quarter turn each for example) until pitch and tone of the drum begin to sound.

  • A Guide to Cymbals, Part 4 by Nick Petrella
    A Guide to Cymbals, Part 4 by Nick Petrella PLACEMENT The optimum place for cymbals in concert ensembles is either between the snare and bass drum or with the accessories between the snare drum and mallet keyboard instruments. The number of people covering parts and the instrumentation will be the deciding factor. In marching ensembles, the cymbals may be placed anywhere in the pit. Again, the number of people and instrumentation will be the deciding fac- tor. An important sound factor is removing the hand cymbal players from in front of the snare drummers as soon as the cymbal pattern is finished. If not, they will absorb a lot of sound, especially if there are sound scoops on the snare drums. Music and Tray Stand Placement The important consideration with music stand placement is to keep it high enough to see the music and the conduc- tor. Percussionists should place the music stand at an angle so the music is not blown away by the wind produced by playing the hand cymbals. Carpeted tray tables are more versatile than cymbal cradles because they are easy to use and can hold sticks, mallets and small instruments as well as cymbals (Figures 31 and 32). They are inexpensive to make. No noise oc- curs when setting the cymbals down because the straps touch the cymbals. A tiered tray stand works well too as it holds a collection of small instruments, sticks and mallets on stage. Whether a tray table or cymbal cradle is used, it should be placed between the percussionist and the conductor.

  • Scoring Percussion and Drum Set Parts in Sibelius Tom Rudolph, Presenter Email: [email protected] Website
    Scoring Percussion and Drum Set Parts in Sibelius Tom Rudolph, presenter Email: [email protected] Website: www.tomrudolph.com The PAS Standard Sibelius uses the Percussive Arts Society (PAS) standard for drum set notation. There are three basic rules for this style of notation: About Drum Maps • Sibelius uses percussion maps or drum maps that assign sounds and percussion notation to specific lines and spaces. • There are many different drum maps in Sibelius and the sounds and noteheads are frequently assigned differently in each map. • Sibelius gives you two options when entering into percussion staves with a MIDI keyboard. You can play the MIDI drum pitch or play the staff notes to which the percussion sound is assigned. I find playing the MIDI note on a MIDI keyboard to be the most efficient entry method and it usually requires the least amount of editing. First, you must tell Sibelius which entry method you are going to use. 1. Select Preferences: a. Mac: Select Sibelius > Preferences > Note Input. b. Win: Select File > Preferences > Note Input. 2. Under Percussion staves, check “The MIDI Device’s drum map.” 3. Click OK to close the Preferences window Below is a partial list of the standard General MIDI percussion map note assignments. You can download the complete file from www.sibeliusbook.com in the Downloads page: 1. Open the sample file: DrumNotation.sib. 2. Select the percussion staff. 3. Press Esc to clear the selection. 4. Play the notes on your MIDI keyboard. You should hear the corresponding drum sound as the notes are played.

Building a Relationship with Percussion Instruments Bill Matney, Kalani Das, & Michael Marcionetti Materials used with permission by Sarsen Publishing and Kalani Das, 2017 Building a relationship with percussion instruments Going somewhere new can be exciting; it might also be a little intimidating or cause some anxiety. If I go to a party where I don’t know anybody except the person who invited me, how do I get to know anyone else? My host will probably be gracious enough to introduce me to others at the party. I will get to know their name, where they are from, and what they commonly do for work and play. In turn, they will get to know the same about me. We may decide to continue our relationship by learning more about each other and doing things together. As music therapy students, we develop relationships with music instruments. We begin by learning instrument names, and by getting to know a little about the instrument. We continue our relationship by learning technique and by playing music with them! Through our experiences and growth, we will be able to help clients develop their own relationships with instruments and music, and therefore be able to 1 strengthen the therapeutic process.

  • A Guide to Cymbals, Part 3 Dr
    A Guide to Cymbals, Part 3 Dr. Nick Petrella ATTACHED CYMBAL / BASS DRUM There are times when it may be better for the overall musical effect to use two percussionists rather than one or vice-versa. The music is most impor- tant, so we must use good musical judgment in each situation. An efficient set-up for one percussionist allows the cymbals and bass drum to be played and muted easily. An example is when the cymbal and attach- ment is mounted to the bass drum at the 10 o’clock position, although the performer may attach the cymbal anywhere depending on the individual’s size, height of the bass drum and available space. For right handed play- ers this is facilitated by placing the right foot on a footstool or small chair. Some bass drum frames even have a foot rest at the base. This position allows the bass drum head to be muted with the right knee and permits the attached cymbal to be muted with the chest or torso while the hand cymbal is generally muted by pulling it toward the under arm (See Figures 22 and 23). To mute more gradually and with less motion, bend the wrist so the fore- arm mutes the cymbal first then pull it into the upper torso (Figure 24). The right hand is free to assist in muting the bass drum or cymbal. If a cymbal attachment is not available, use a cymbal stand off to the side of the bass drum (Figure 25). Be careful not to over-tighten the attached cym- bal as this will hinder the cymbal from vibrating freely and may result in a cracked bell.
