Doctoral Dissertations. 1388. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/1388 A Study of Percussion Pedagogical Texts and a Percussion Primer Nathaniel Richard Gworek, DMA University of Connecticut, 2017 My dissertation project is in two parts; the first part examines and evaluates percussion pedagogical literature from the past century, while the second is a percussion primer of my own authorship. The primer, which assumes a basic knowledge of standard musical notation, provide a structured system of teaching and learning percussion technique; it is supplemented with videos to utilize current technology as an educational resource. Many percussion method books have a narrow focus on only one instrument. There are few comprehensive resources that address the entire family of instruments, but they generally cater to a college level audience. My research focuses on the layout of the comprehensive resources while utilizing the narrow sources to inform my exercises. This research helped me find a middle ground, providing the technical development of the narrow focus resources while covering the breadth of topics in the comprehensive resources. This, in turn, help me develop an informationally inclusive yet concise resource for instructors and for students of all ages. My primer contain lessons on snare drum, timpani, and mallet percussion, and complementary instruments, such as bass drum, triangle, and cymbals.

  • 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).

  • Tuning Tips for Marching Percussion
    Educator Series PERCUSSION Tuning Tips for Marching Percussion Marching percussion is one of the most demanding areas of music in terms of equipment wear and tear. Because marching drums are primarily used outdoors, a well-tuned drum is necessary to allow the maximum projection of sound. Also, a conscientious schedule of regular maintenance and tuning will extend the life of each instrument. The pitches recommended in these tuning tips serve as a reference for achieving superior projection and tone quality from each Yamaha instrument. (C4 = Middle C) Find the right pitch for your drum and keep it there. Don’t get into the habit of tightening the drumhead every time you play it. The drumhead needs to be tuned, not necessarily tightened. Even though new heads require a short break-in period, modern materials are extremely resilient and tend to hold pitch longer if they are always returned to the desired pitch at every session. Stay consistent and check the drum pitch often, especially when the head is new. It is better to check the head daily and make small adjustments than it is to wait a week and make a large adjustment in tensioning. Change heads when the tone has gone “dead,” not just when you break a head. Things to Remember • Keep tension rods lubricated with lithium grease, petroleum jelly or Yamaha premium valve oil. Carefully remove exposed lubricant, as it can attract dirt and damage threads. Replace worn or lost nylon and metal washers. • Lubricating wood bearing edges with a thin coat of Yamaha paraffin or cork grease will ease high-tension tuning, and help prevent moisture from seeping into the shell.

  • Stick and Mallet Section for the Marching Percussion Ensemble by Clif Walker, Associate Director of Bands & Director of Percussion Studies – Blue Springs High School
    Stick and Mallet Section for the Marching Percussion Ensemble By Clif Walker, Associate Director of Bands & Director of Percussion Studies – Blue Springs High School There are many great stick and mallet companies in the world. At Blue Springs High School we use Innovative Percussion due to the superior variety and availability of both quality product and service. The recommendations below can easily be translated into similar products offered by different companies. I. Marching Bass Drum Mallets: A. Size/Weight: Bass drum mallets generally graduate with the size of the drum – the smaller the drum the smaller the mallet (less air to move, less needed to move that air). If you march smaller bass drums (16”, 18”, 20”, 24” for example) you may not need 4 different sizes of bass mallets due to relatively close sizes of this configuration. I have had success with the following recipe: Drum sizes 14” - 18” Innovative Percussion FBX-1 Mallets Drum sizes 20”, 22” Innovative Percussion FBX-2 Mallets Drum sizes 24”, 26” Innovative Percussion FBX-3 Mallets Drum sizes 28”, 30” Innovative Percussion FBX-4 Mallets Drum size “32 Innovative Percussion FBX-5 Mallets If your bass drum section is consistently staged visually backfield or you have a very large band/winds, you may want to consider larger mallets (and larger drums, and larger kids to carry them!). Keep in mind, mallets size/weight effects volume, not articulation. B. Articulation: Bass drum mallets general come in 3 degrees of articulation: 1. Wood (very hard/very articulate) –back of the felt mallet/using the handle side 2.

  • March to the Beat of a New Drum
    MARCH TO THE BEAT OF A NEW DRUM “THE MOST FAMOUS NAME ON DRUMS” RETURNS TO THE FIELD From our humble Chicago beginnings to our current Charlotte headquarters, Ludwig has spanned over 100 years of American drum manufacturing. As one of the most respected names in drums, Ludwig has captured a total of 10 Drum Corps International drum titles with Spirit of Atlanta, The Bridgemen, and The Blue Devils Drum & Bugle Corps. We’re proud to continue this excellence with the introduction of our new line of marching percussion. We’ve combined the legendary Ludwig sound with stronger and lighter materials to meet the contemporary marching ensemble’s needs. Prepare yourself for the “Ultimate” in marching percussion. The Ludwig Ultimate snare drum takes the exiting LUDWIG ULTIMATE Free-Floater model to a whole new level. Designed to meet today’s marching demands, the Ultimate snare drum allows the player to achieve clean and crisp articulations with minimal weight. The secret is in the SNARE lightweight aluminum hardware that secures the heads, allowing the thick 8-ply Maple shell to be completely suspended for exceptional projection and resonance. FINISHES Stock black (B), white (W), and silver (S) laminate finishes are integrated into the shell molding process, making them the most durable finish on the market. Custom lacquer finishes available via special order. LUMS14PB 12x14” LUMS14PW 12x14” LUMS14PS 12x14” SNARE SNARE GUT 16 individually adjustable and removable snare guts allow for a customized sound.
