  • Choosing a Drum Set for Worship
    Choosing a Drum Set for Worship We hope this guide will help you find the right drum set and drum hardware that fits your playing style and needs. Whether it is an affordable starter set or a sophisticated, arena-worthy acoustic or electronic kit, this guide will help you identify the right combination of gear to match your budget and percussion skills. You will learn about the elements that go into making drums and cymbals, and what to consider when shopping for drums. Before choosing a drum set, you need to be familiar with the components that go into it, these include: The Snare Drum, the Bass Drum, one or more Mounted Toms and a Floor Tom. The two other essential components that complete a full drum set, Cymbals and Hardware. We have also included a section on how to reduce acoustic drum volume, a microphone alternative, and a section on electronic drums. If you are unfamiliar with any of the terms used here, please see the Glossary of Terms at the end of this document. Enjoy! Parts of the Drum Set ANATOMY OF A DRUM TOP (BATTER) HEAD: The most basic component of a drum, the head is a round membrane made of a synthetic material usually mylar, that is stretched across the shell, with varying degrees of tension. HOOP: The drum hoop is usually made of either cast or stamped metal, although some drummers prefer wood hoops. Hoops are constructed with a flange shaped to hold the head on the shell for tensioning. TENSION ROD: These mount through holes in the hoop and thread into the lug to maintain the desired tension.

  • 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!
