  • 40 Drum Rudiments with Video Examples
    Drum rudiment 1 Drum rudiment In percussion music, a rudiment is one of the basic patterns used in rudimental drumming. These patterns of drum strokes can be combined in many ways to create music. History The origin of snare rudiments can be traced back to Swiss mercenaries armed with long polearms. The use of pikes in close formation required a great deal of coordination. The sound of the tabor was used to set the tempo and communicate commands with distinct drumming patterns. These drumming patterns became the basis of the snare drum rudiments. The first written rudiment goes back to the year 1612 in Basel, Switzerland.[1] The cradle of rudimental drumming is said to be France, where professional drummers became part of the King's honour guard in the 17th and 18th centuries. The craft was perfected during the reign of Napoleon I. Le Rigodon is one of the cornerstones of modern rudimental drumming.[1] There have been many attempts to formalize a standard list of snare drum rudiments. The National Association of Rudimental Drummers, an organization established to promote rudimental drumming, put forward a list of 13 essential rudiments, and later a second set of 13 to form the original 26. The Percussive Arts Society reorganized the first 26 and added another 14 to form the current 40 International Drum Rudiments. Currently, the International Association of Traditional Drummers is working to once again promote the original 26 rudiments. Today there are four main Rudimental Drumming cultures: Swiss Basler Trommeln, Scottish Pipe Drumming, American Ancient Drumming, and American Modern Drumming.

  • How to March with the Beat Goes on Marching Band
    How to March with The Beat Goes On Marching Band TBGO isn’t exactly a precision marching power, but we do aim to look respectable on the street (that is, when we’re not goofing around with someone in the crowd!). Why? 1. Band pride. We like to look like we know what we’re doing! 2. Getting invited to exciting new places. Looking good entices people to invite us to their events. Even when we invite ourselves, we want the video on our website to look good! 3. Most important: We ask parade organizers to pay us for our performance. They are our customers, and we owe them a band that looks good, sounds good, and brings something special to their event. We can have fun on the street (that’s our calling card!) and still look professional. Here’s what we’re aiming for. Pay Attention! If we don’t pay attention during a parade and correct mistakes continuously, nothing in this document will make us look better. TAKEAWAY: Learn what you SHOULD be doing and check/correct things regularly! March in Rhythm Marching in rhythm means that one of your feet should hit the ground on each beat of the music or drum cadence – not during some random interval between beats, but RIGHT ON each beat. The result will be that we look a lot more like a marching band and a lot less like a centipede. Getting this right is one of the biggest things we can do to improve our look on the street. As a side bonus, marching in rhythm makes it much easier to keep the music from “tearing” since everyone has the same tempo and the same idea of where each beat lands – just watch the feet all around you! Even if you’re not explicitly watching the feet you’ll see them in your peripheral vision, making it much easier to know where the beat is.

PURPOSE. To establish Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for an Auxiliary Musician (AUXMU) program at Auxiliary national and regional levels. 2. ACTION. Elected and appointed leaders and program managers at all levels of the Auxiliary organization shall ensure Auxiliarists who participate in the AUXMU program adhere to this SOP. Auxiliary AUXMU national program managers shall maintain close liaison with the Coast Guard Band for the purpose of general programmatic advice and guidance including matters of performance standards and expectations. 3. DIRECTIVES AFFECTED. None. 4. BACKGROUND. Live music performance is an excellent public affairs and fellowship tool for any organization. The 55 members of the Coast Guard Musician (MU) rating who comprise the Coast Guard Band are an elite group whose limited resources present considerable challenges to their availability for Coast Guard mission support. Musical performance is a non-military, non-law enforcement Coast Guard mission activity to which Auxiliarists who possess requisite skills may be assigned. Coast Guard ceremonial and community relations events have historically been enhanced by the presence of musical accompaniment.
