  • History of the Drum Set
    History of the Drum Set The drum set is as American as baseball, hotdogs, and apple pie. The instrument as it currently exists has seen a great deal of evolution and development. From its infancy at the start of the 20 th century to the innovations that are currently taking place, it has developed into the most visible and widely used instruments in the percussion family. Late 1800’s Brass bands were the most common type of instrumental ensemble in the United States in the later half of the 19 th century. Every town in America had bandstands were concerts were held and perhaps the reason for their existence can be attributed in part to the Civil War. Every military unit had its own squad of musicians, usually formed according to locality. Occasionally some bands stayed together after the war, while others disbanded. Each brass band consisted of two or more drummers that played snare, bass, and cymbals. In addition to marching parade commitments, these bands sometimes moved “indoors” entertaining patrons in concert providing music for occasions such as picnics and town socials. When these groups moved inside, the standard instrumentation was cut down somewhat for practical reasons. Because of this, the need for two or more drummers decreased and resourceful inventions began to flourish. The concept of one drummer playing two or more rhythms was made possible through the creation of the snare drum stand and bass drum pedal. Before the snare stand, drummers would hang the drum from their shoulder with a strap or sling, or position the drum on a chair.

  • Instead Draws Upon a Much More Generic Sort of Free-Jazz Tenor
    1 Funding for the Smithsonian Jazz Oral History Program NEA Jazz Master interview was provided by the National Endowment for the Arts. BILL HOLMAN NEA Jazz Master (2010) Interviewee: Bill Holman (May 21, 1927 - ) Interviewer: Anthony Brown with recording engineer Ken Kimery Date: February 18-19, 2010 Repository: Archives Center, National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution Description: Transcript, 84 pp. Brown: Today is Thursday, February 18th, 2010, and this is the Smithsonian Institution National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Masters Oral History Program interview with Bill Holman in his house in Los Angeles, California. Good afternoon, Bill, accompanied by his wife, Nancy. This interview is conducted by Anthony Brown with Ken Kimery. Bill, if we could start with you stating your full name, your birth date, and where you were born. Holman: My full name is Willis Leonard Holman. I was born in Olive, California, May 21st, 1927. Brown: Where exactly is Olive, California? Holman: Strange you should ask [laughs]. Now it‟s a part of Orange, California. You may not know where Orange is either. Orange is near Santa Ana, which is the county seat of Orange County, California. I don‟t know if Olive was a part of Orange at the time, or whether Orange has just grown up around it, or what. But it‟s located in the city of Orange, although I think it‟s a separate municipality. Anyway, it was a really small town. I always say there was a couple of orange-packing houses and a railroad spur. Probably more than that, but not a whole lot.

  • Buddy Rich Ex- to the Art
    BUDDY RICH MEMORIAL CONCERT MANHATTAN CENTER FOR THE ARTS/HAMMERSTEIN BALLROOM E V E N T PROGRAM O C T O BE R 18, 2008 Buddy_Program.indd 1 10/10/08 4:59:23 PM BUDDY RICH Arguably the greatest jazz drummer of all time, the legendary Buddy Rich ex- hibited his love for music through his life-long dedication to the art. His was a career that spanned seven decades, beginning when he was just 18 months old, and continuing until his death in 1987. Immensely gifted, Rich could play with remarkable speed and dexterity despite his never having received a formal lesson and refusing to practice outside of his performances. Born Bernard Rich to vaudevillians Robert and Bess Rich on September 30, 1917, the famed drummer was introduced to audiences at a very young age. By 1921, he was a seasoned solo performer with his vaudeville act, “Traps The Drum Wonder.” With his natural sense of rhythm, Rich was per- forming regularly on Broadway by the age of four. At the peak of Rich’s early career, he was the second-highest paid child entertainer in the world. “Rich’s technique has been one of the most standardized and coveted in drumming. His dexterity, speed, and smooth execution are considered holy grails of drum tech- nique. While Rich typically held his sticks using ‘traditional grip’ (left thump facing up), he was also a skilled ‘match grip’ player, and was one of few drummers to master the one-handed roll on both hands. Some of his more spectacular moves are crossover riffs, where he would criss-cross his arms from one drum to another, sometimes over the arm, and even under the arm at great speed.” — ExcERPTED FROM WIKIPEDIA Buddy_Program.indd 2 10/10/08 4:59:26 PM Rich’s jazz career began in 1937 when he began playing BUDDY RICH with Joe Marsala at New York’s Hickory House.

    Appendix: The Recordings These are the URLs of the original locations where I found the recordings used in this book. Those without a URL came from a cassette tape, LP or CD in my personal collection, or from now-defunct YouTube or Grooveshark web pages. I had many of the other recordings in my collection already, but searched for online sources to allow the reader to hear what I heard when writing the book. Naturally, these posted “videos” will disappear over time, although most of them then re- appear six months or a year later with a new URL. If you can’t find an alternate location, send me an e-mail and let me know. In the meantime, I have provided low-level mp3 files of the tracks that are not available or that I have modified in pitch or speed in private listening vaults where they can be heard. This way, the entire book can be verified by listening to the same re- cordings and works that I heard. For locations of these private sound vaults, please e-mail me and I will send you the links.

  • PAS/Yamaha Terry Gibbs Vibraphone Scholarship
    PAS/Yamaha Terry Gibbs Vibraphone Scholarship Legendary vibraphonist Terry Gibbs began his career at the age of 12 after winning the Major Bowes Amateur Hour Contest and subsequently began touring professionally. He performed for many years as a drummer and percussionist until his affinity for bebop motivated him to return to the vibes and subsequently become recognized as one of the best ever to grace the genre of bop. After World War II, Gibbs toured with Buddy Rich, Woody Herman, Louie Bellson, Benny Goodman and formed his own band for the Mel Torme television show. Gibbs led his own bands in the 50’s and in 1957 formed the critically acclaimed big band “The Dream Band”. Throughout his career he has enjoyed world acclaim playing with jazz luminaries, Buddy DeFranco, Charlie Parker, Dizzie Gillespie, Horace Silver, Max Roach, Art Blakey, Elvin Jones and Tito Puente. Terry Gibbs is a Percussive Arts Society Hall of Fame member with 65 albums to his credit, winner of three major jazz polls and creator of over 300 compositions. This scholarship is in honor of the indelible mark Gibbs has left on the world of vibes. One $1,000 scholarship will be awarded.
