Kingdom Five Departed a “Rhythm Poem” for Percussion Ensemble Kingdom Five Departed A “Rhythm Poem” for Percussion Ensemble By Dr. Michael Varner This composition is a “Rhythm Poem” similar to the Orchestral “Tone Poems” of the Romantic Era. The Program Notes should be made available for the audience and performers to best associate the individually titled sections. Although the work technically has “Seven Movements” it is performed without breaks. Kingdom Five Departed is an ensemble for nine percussionists featuring Membranophones and Accessories only. The semi-Classical approach to the instruments encourages the performers to perfect their Orchestral style approach. Good Luck! Michael Varner Instrumentation: Player 1 2 bongos, 2 Conga, 4 Japanese Temple Gongs Player 2 Snare Drum 1, 4 Metal Pipes Player 3 Snare Drum 2, Timbales, 4 Brake Drums, Lion’s Roar, SlapStick Player 4 4 High Toms, Muted Cowbell Player 5 4 Low Toms, Sleigh Bells Player 6 4 Timpani, 1 Brake Drum (Shared), Triangle, Cymbal inverted on 29” Timpano Player 7 Bass Drum 1, Castanets, High GongSAMPLE Player 8 Bass Drum 2, Tambourine 2, Low Tam-Tam Player 9 Crash Cymbals (hand-plates), 2 Suspended Cymbals (high and low), Violin Bow Duration: 5:10 Performance Instructions Gong/Tam-Tam part: Hold Triangle Beater in one hand and Gong Beater in the other. Strike the Gong, and apply the triangle beater lightly to the Gong face on the Downward stemmed notes. The effect should be a “Sizzle” Synthetic Sound lasting until the next strike. Timpani: Cymbal Inverted on head. Carefully choose a thin Cymbal, invert it on the center of the Timpano. Using Yarn Mallets roll on the edge of the cymbal plate and slowly Glissando the Timpano Pedal up and down. Timpani: Bowl: Using the Felt end of the Timpani mallets lightly strike the Bowl of the 4 drums. Timpani “Feature” in Creatures of Darkness:” This should be very prominent compared to the Texture surrounding it. The + notes are to be played Center, the o notes are regular beating spot. Pitches are to be carefully observed and notice whether the Glissandi are to be struck or rolled. This feature should use a more dense/articulate mallet. Membranophones in “Creatures of Darkness” The X head notes are to be played with one hand while dampening the head with the other. Regular head notes are played open and slightly fuller. Bass Drum 2 in “Pursuit:” Mute the head slightly for clarity on the triplet rhythm. “Final Challenge: Combat” This un-metered section should have each player enter by their numbered cues. The Notated pattern should be repeated multiple times until all players have entered. An increase in speed and volume should occur. The desired effect is Heterophonic with each instrument maintaining its own personality and also somewhat Chaotic. On Cue all players change to the roll. Cymbal: The Performer should hold the bow SAMPLEin one hand and Triangle beater in the other performing the “metal Beater” parts on the dome of the cymbal. Tom Parts: All 8 drums of the High and low toms should be graduated from 1 through 8.

The four instrument families are: strings, woodwinds, brass and percussion. Today we are going to explore the percussion family. Get your tapping fingers and toes ready! The percussion family includes all of the instruments that are “struck” in some way. We have no official records of when humans first used percussion instruments, but from ancient times, drums have been used for tribal dances and for communications of all kinds. Today, there are more instruments in the percussion family than in any other. They can be grouped into two types: 1. Percussion instruments that make just one pitch. These include: Snare drum, bass drum, cymbals, tambourine, triangle, wood block, gong, maracas and castanets Triangle Castanets Tambourine Snare Drum Wood Block Gong Maracas Bass Drum Cymbals 3 2. Percussion instruments that play different pitches, even a melody. These include: Kettle drums (also called timpani), the xylophone (and marimba), orchestra bells, the celesta and the piano Piano Celesta Orchestra Bells Xylophone Kettle Drum How percussion instruments work There are several ways to get a percussion instrument to make a sound. You can strike some percussion instruments with a stick or mallet (snare drum, bass drum, kettle drum, triangle, xylophone); or with your hand (tambourine).

  • Basic Snare Drum Tuning
    Basic Snare Drum Tuning by Tom Freer Please follow these simple and basic instructions for tuning and adjusting your Pearl snare drum. In order for you to get and maintain the best possible sound out of your instrument, it will be important to save this sheet so that you can "tune up" the drum as the heads become broken in, and replace heads when necessary. YOU WILL NEED THE FOLLOWING TOOLS TO PROCEED: 1. DRUM KEY 2. RULER STEP ONE: Loosen the top head completely. Place the drum on a flat surface and unscrew all the tension rods so that there is no tension on the top head. You don't need to take them out, just loosen them all the way. Next, begin to tighten down each rod just until they touch the counter hoop (or rim) WITHOUT PULLING IT DOWN. Just screw the tension rod down until it just touches. Go across the drum and do the same to the opposite tension rod and repeat, always working across the drum head in opposites, this keeps the head very even. When all the tension rods are seated and just touching the counter hoop, take your ruler and beginning with the tension rod directly beside the strainer, measure the distance from underneath the counter hoop to the top of the lug. Repeat this process with the lug directly across the drum and repeat until all measurements are the same. Remember we are not concerned with how tight the head is right now, just how even the tension is. Now that the head is evenly tensioned, bring the top head up to pitch.

I edge of the intricacies of the Great Any more cheek and you’ll Highland Bagpipe, piobaireachd and airtight never eat another meaty flan! seasoning and perhaps the same can be said for some pipers. While most pipers will have some knowledge of the art of snare drumming, there may be a few terms that may need explaining to fully understand exactly what drummers are talking about. After all, radamacues, paradiddles and mummy daddies can be confus- ing things. Of course, there are exceptions in that there are pipers who can play the snare drum, but for those not quite in the know, drummer Libby O’Brien gives her bluffer’s guide to the art of snare drumming. Originally from New Zealand, but now living in Glasgow, Libby has played with The Pipeband Club – Australia and Auckland & District Pipe Band and is now a snare drummer with the Robert Wiseman Dairies Vale of Atholl Pipe Band. Here she shares a few terms to help you to impress your friends with your knowledge of all things drumming. The Drag While some pipers may mistake a drag for what we drummers refer to when pipers spend hours tuning their pipes at band practice, it is a simple rudiment that is regularly found in drumming music. Whilst reasonably simple, this rudiment is often the bane of many drummers’ lives, especially when attempting to play one on the left hand.

  • Synthesized Drum Sounds
    Synthesized Drum Sounds Snare Drum Crack of the drum – a fast glissando of a square wave over multiple octaves. Make it so that you hear the gliss as a quick blip sound rather than hearing the gliss. This means it should be very short. The center frequency of the gliss should be about 600-800hz, so you probably want to gliss from over 1000 to below 400. Metal Snares – WhiteNoise with a longer envelope than the crack sound above Filter – Send both the Crack of the Drum and the WhiteNoise through a Low Pass Filter Resonance of the drum shell – a sound about as long as the snare sound. This should be a sine wave oscillator at about 400hz, that drops about a semitone (25hz at 400) over the duration of the sound. Add the filtered crack and snares to the resonance sound. Bass Drum Crack of the drum – same as the snare, but lower the frequencies of the starting and end points of the gliss. Maybe make a gliss from 400 to 50. I feel like you might want to almost hear the glissing note with the bass drum Resonance of the drum shell –This should be a sine wave oscillator at about 100hz, that drops about a semitone (25hz at 400) over the duration of the sound. Add the two sounds together. Hi-Hat Crack of the drum – an even faster glissando of a square wave over multiple octaves. Make the center freq of the gliss to be about 2000hz, significantly higher than the snare drum, and make the gliss only about 2 octaves, so a quick gliss from 4000 to 1000hz should work.

  • Basic Snare Drum Technique by Thom Hannum
    Basic Snare Drum Technique By Thom Hannum There are a number of effective methods for learning basic snare drum technique. So be open to suggestions and seek a teacher to help guide you through the fundamentals. Below are some guidelines to get you started. Have fun! Stand Assembly and Instrument Position 1. Spread the base of the stand far enough to create a stable platform. 2. Insert the top into the base of the stand. 3. Place the drum into the basket while avoiding contact with the snare strainer. 4. The drum should be at about waist level and slightly angled for your comfort. 5. Tighten all stand wing nuts. Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Tuning and Stick Selection Now it’s time to tune the drum for the best possible sound. I recommend following the steps outlined in Tom Freer’s Pearl article, Basic Snare Drum Tuning, which can be found at Pearl’s website (www.pearldrum.com). Have your teacher help select snare sticks that work for you. Something equivalent to a 2B or a 5B usually works fine. The balance point is 1/3 of the way up from the butt end of the stick. Grip the stick near this point for the best response and bounce. Grip Guidelines and Posture Learning to hold the sticks properly is essential for improving technique. Use the photos as a guide and make sure to memorize the feel of the following guidelines: #1 Fulcrum (thumb and first two fingers), #2 Finger contact (comfortably wrap all fingers around the stick; not too tight), #3 Bead placement (as close together as possible for an even sound) and then striking area (center of the drum head), #4 Wrist motion (down position and up position).

  • Triangle & Tambourine
    ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ 1 Triangle & 2001 Tambourine Rich Holly NASHVILLE NOVEMBER 14–17 ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ Playing percussion accessories may be some of the most gratifying performance experiences you will have. Why? Because you can be creative! Although there are time-honored traditions on how to play these instru- ments, in the last 30+ years we have seen and heard several variations on playing techniques and available sounds. Percussionists from around the world, in classical, pop, jazz, studio, and world music settings have been discovering and utilizing these other techniques with great success. It is important that you know and understand the basic playing techniques and available sounds first. These will serve you quite well in concert band, wind ensemble, and orchestral settings. Many of you will have the opportunity to play percussion in a jazz ensemble or perhaps in a band of your own. That’s where these performance variations will really come into play. These variations are based on the performance techniques of similar instruments from cultures around the world, and today’s orchestral players are finding many of these quite useful, too. The most important thing is to have fun! Try these only as a starting point – there is no limit to the use of your own creativity.
