  • Jazz Drums Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz Online Jazz Handbook
    Jazz Drums Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz Online Jazz Handbook welcome to the drums chapter of the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz’s Online Jazz Handbook! When learning jazz, there is no substitute for listening to the classic recordings and understanding the lineage. Please refer often to the albums listed at the end of this chapter for great examples of the material listed below. Don’t forget to practice with a metronome: This is important for drummers at all levels when learning new styles and ideas! Introduction: The drums can be heard in almost every style of music, and just like every instrument, the style helps dictate the specific roll of the instrument. For example, in traditional Afro-Cuban ensembles, the many drummers and percussionists create the main body of music that the bass, guitar, vocals, and other instruments float above. On the opposite side of that, you might hear an orchestra in which the only job of the percussionists is to create interesting sounds and colors on top of a the string section. In jazz, the drummer plays both a crucial part in creating a strong foundation, and helping add color and shape to the music. The first step is creating that strong foundation with the ride cymbal! Getting Started with the Ride Cymbal: Since the 1930’s and the beginning of the be-bop era, the main focal point on a jazz drum kit has been the ride cymbal. The phrasing of the ride cymbal is based around the quarter note, however instead of thinking in eighth notes (like most rock music on the radio today), we want to think in eighth note triplets.

  • Stylistic Evolution of Jazz Drummer Ed Blackwell: the Cultural Intersection of New Orleans and West Africa
    STYLISTIC EVOLUTION OF JAZZ DRUMMER ED BLACKWELL: THE CULTURAL INTERSECTION OF NEW ORLEANS AND WEST AFRICA David J. Schmalenberger Research Project submitted to the College of Creative Arts at West Virginia University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Percussion/World Music Philip Faini, Chair Russell Dean, Ph.D. David Taddie, Ph.D. Christopher Wilkinson, Ph.D. Paschal Younge, Ed.D. Division of Music Morgantown, West Virginia 2000 Keywords: Jazz, Drumset, Blackwell, New Orleans Copyright 2000 David J. Schmalenberger ABSTRACT Stylistic Evolution of Jazz Drummer Ed Blackwell: The Cultural Intersection of New Orleans and West Africa David J. Schmalenberger The two primary functions of a jazz drummer are to maintain a consistent pulse and to support the soloists within the musical group. Throughout the twentieth century, jazz drummers have found creative ways to fulfill or challenge these roles. In the case of Bebop, for example, pioneers Kenny Clarke and Max Roach forged a new drumming style in the 1940’s that was markedly more independent technically, as well as more lyrical in both time-keeping and soloing. The stylistic innovations of Clarke and Roach also helped foster a new attitude: the acceptance of drummers as thoughtful, sensitive musical artists. These developments paved the way for the next generation of jazz drummers, one that would further challenge conventional musical roles in the post-Hard Bop era. One of Max Roach’s most faithful disciples was the New Orleans-born drummer Edward Joseph “Boogie” Blackwell (1929-1992). Ed Blackwell’s playing style at the beginning of his career in the late 1940’s was predominantly influenced by Bebop and the drumming vocabulary of Max Roach.

Foley, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2007 This dissertation presents an ethnomusicological study of the art of three Pittsburgh jazz drummers, Joe Harris, Ron Tucker, and Roger Humphries with particular reference to the nexus relations between performance practice and the interpretation of experience. Following the work of Davis, Nketia and others this study argues for an approach to the analysis of black music which takes into consideration the viewpoints of the musicians who produce the music as well as those of the community who participate at performance events. Accordingly it examines the art of these drummers not only in terms of sound and structure but also in respect of the cultural factors that govern the operation of style and the meaning systems behind the music.

  • Zen in the Art of Drumming: Jim Blackley and His Influence on the Jazz Drummers of Canada
    ZEN IN THE ART OF DRUMMING: JIM BLACKLEY AND HIS INFLUENCE ON THE JAZZ DRUMMERS OF CANADA GIUSEPPE IANNUZZI A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MUSIC YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO JANUARY 2019 © GIUSEPPE IANNUZZI, 2019 ii ABSTRACT The objective of this thesis is to examine how the pedagogy of Jim Blackley (1927- 2017)— the late Scottish-Canadian jazz drummer and educator— influenced several generations of Canadian jazz drummers. Blackley’s seminal publications such as Syncopated Rolls for the Modern Drummer Vol.1 (1961) and The Essence of Jazz Drumming (2001) disavow the traditional instruction of the snare drum rudiments in favour of playing and interpreting musical lines. Consequently, Blackley inculcated in his students the importance of the drummer’s ride cymbal acting as the primary means of stating time and providing the accents, punctuations, and phrases so vital to jazz rhythmic accompaniment. Through emphasizing the development of strong time keeping skills, an awareness of song form, the memorization and vocalization of rhythmic figures and phrases, and the significance of listening carefully to the bass line, chord changes and melody when improvising, Blackley instilled in his students the inviolable tenet of playing the drums musically. Using an ethnographic approach culling data from interviews with Blackley’s former students such as Terry Clarke, Barry Elmes, Duris Maxwell, and others, this thesis will also explore issues of identity construction and construal examining how Blackley’s pedagogy had led his students on an important journey of identity realization.

  • Afrofuturism, Percussion, and the Communication of Afrofuturist Themes in Music
    Future Sounds: Afrofuturism, Percussion, and the Communication of Afrofuturist Themes in Music by Benjamin Thomas A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree, Bachelor of Arts Music The Colorado College May 3, 2021 Approved by ____________________________ Date ____May 3, 2021____ Ryan Banagale ____________________________ Date ___________________ Michael Grace Thomas 2 Abstract On the very first Monday of my first year at Colorado College, I had made plans to audition for a student band called Frog. This would be the first band I had ever joined, culminating in an album release and an east coast tour in the summer of 2018. After that, it was Arc Trip, Parents, Public Indecency, Worm Weather, Bongo Saloon, and now Host Body. Each project has been an opportunity to develop my musicianship, exposing me to new musicians, genres, and general life experiences. After COVID-19 destroyed the worldwide music scene, playing with other musicians became a health risk. My relationship with drumming was partially fractured, and as most people can probably relate—I felt more stagnant than ever. Despite this, I continued to practice and explore my ideas outside of a band context; consequently, this evolved into a desire to create music that was representative of my own abilities and interests. Around this same time, I began discussing the possibility of creating a small duo project with Evan Hirshorn. We both wanted to create something representative of our musical abilities; furthermore, we wanted to create something that sounded professionally mixed and mastered. The intention was to create an auditory résumé, which we can share as proof of our abilities when we’re trying to get gigs in the music industry.
