The Percussion Family 1 Table of Contents
THE CLEVELAND ORCHESTRA WHAT IS AN ORCHESTRA? Student Learning Lab for The Percussion Family 1 Table of Contents PART 1: Let’s Meet the Percussion Family ...................... 3 PART 2: Let’s Listen to Nagoya Marimbas ...................... 6 PART 3: Music Learning Lab ................................................ 8 2 PART 1: Let’s Meet the Percussion Family An orchestra consists of musicians organized by instrument “family” groups. 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). -
Ludwig-Musser 2010 Concert Percussion Catalog AV8084 2010
Welcome to the world of Ludwig/Musser Concert Percussion. The instruments in this catalog represent the finest quality and sound in percussion instruments today from a company that has been making instruments and accessories in the USA for decades. Ludwig is “The Most famous Name in Drums” since 1909 and Musser is “First in Class” for mallet percussion since 1948. Ludwig & Musser aren’t just brand names, they are men’s names. William F. Ludwig Sr. & William F. Ludwig II were gifted percussionists and astute businessmen who were innovators in the world of percussion. Clair Omar Musser was also a visionary mallet percussionist, composer, designer, engineer and leader who founded the Musser Company to be the American leader in mallet instruments. Both companies originated in the Chicago area. They joined forces in the 1960’s and originated the concept of “Total Percussion.” With our experience as a manufacturer, we have a dedicated staff of craftsmen and marketing professionals that are sensitive to the needs of the percussionist. Several on our staff are active percussionists today and have that same passion for excellence in design, quality and performance as did our founders. We are proud to be an American company competing in a global economy. Musser Marimbas, Xylophones, Chimes, Bells, & Vibraphones are available in a wide range of sizes and models to completely satisfy the needs of beginners, schools, universities and professionals. With a choice of hammered copper, smooth copper or fiberglass bowls, Ludwig Timpani always deliver the full rich sound that generations of timpanists have come to expect from Ludwig. -

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. -

Bluffer's Guide to the Art of Pipe Band Snare Drumming
by Libby O’Brien SNARE DRUM BLUFFER’S GUIDE BLUFFER’S Bluffer’s Guide to the Art of Pipe Band Snare Drumming FOR PIPERS T’S probably safe to say that there are few drummers that have a strong knowl- Crossing noises ya’ wee !X$!%©? 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. -
