It is my sincere desire to help YOU! I wanted to boil my 42-year journey as a drummer into a few macro-nuggets. This is the big picture. Absorb it. Use it. Live it! Here’s to your success! Follow along, Rich TECHNIQUE Rich Teaching Nic Johnson Hand Development, Rudiment Training Technique is a means to an end. When we have good technique, expressing ourselves musically becomes easy. Work on developing your hands evenly. Get some rudiment training from a qualified player in your area. I can’t say enough about having a one-on-one relationship with a great teacher and doing in-person lessons. Scouring YouTube will only get you so far. Find a teacher that will make you accountable to your lesson material. This is crucial for consistent growth and development. Rudiments are the building blocks for all drumming. Think of them like scales for other instruments. Without them, you are trying to build a house with no foundation. Take the time to get this part of your playing together. Rudiments are the cake. The icing will come. Rich’s Chart on the Video Shoot for Jason Aldean’s “Johnny Cash” Read Music! Reading music has saved my career time and time again. It is the one skillset that always sets me apart from my competitors. If you can read music, you will be able to attract many more opportunities to yourself. Reading music allows me to interpret the written page or create my own charts from hearing music. Reading music has opened doors for me to play all kinds of music with a variety of groups in many different venues: classical, military, choral, marching bands, steel drum bands, cruise ships, musical theater, corporate party bands, wedding bands, tribute bands, percussion ensembles, fusion bands, smooth jazz bands, bebop bands, big bands, classic rock groups, country groups, Americana groups, studio work, and more. Being a great reader gives me peace of mind that I will never be out of work. If you can read music, you have a serious leg up on the competition. Reading music well gives me permission to be an educator, author, and clinician. This means more work in the music business and many more revenue streams. Four-Way Coordination Coordination is king! Drummers do four things at once. It’s called four-way coordination. I see many drummers of all experience levels consistently using only three limbs. This means they usually ignore the left foot on the hi-hat. That foot may as well be a dead fish! The hi-hat played with the foot is a musical ligament that holds together the muscle and bone of grooves. You can also think of it as the force that binds the universe together. Time spent developing four- way coordination is always time well spent. Musicians around you will notice the difference in your depth of groove. It helps. Spend time on it! Knowledge of Styles Knowledge of styles is crucial to our drumming success. In the new music business, it is helpful to be a jack of all trades, master of all. There are so many kinds of music and nearly all of them need a great drummer. Disco, classic rock, modern rock, jazz, smooth jazz, big band, pop, folk, country, country rock, southern rock, Latin styles, heavy metal, calypso, soca, reggae…the list goes on and on. Each of these styles has cultural and musical rules. Immerse yourself in different music. Play along to records. Seek out the experts. Play with musicians that have deep experiences with this music. Learn! Absorb! The more styles of music you can convincingly play, the more opportunities you can attract to yourself. Even if you just want to play rock and roll, learning other styles of music will influence you and make you sound different than the next performer. Pour these styles and influences into your own little cauldron and make your own musical recipe. We all want to be unique and have a voice. Learning about many kinds of music will get you one step closer to that voice. Rich on Tour with Jason Aldean Soloing Drum Solo! Soloing will not get you the gig! That’s right—very rarely is soloing on the top of a band or band leader’s list of most important musical skills. Time, groove, feel, sound, and musicianship are usually the desired skills. However, soloing is a much-needed tool for your drumming arsenal. There are three types of drum solos: • Soloing Over a Vamp: This frequently happens in fusion and Latin styles. The members of the band will play a rhythmic figure repeatedly as the drummer creates a magical musical story that builds. Use dynamics, sound sources, and phrasing to create excitement and take the listener on a journey. • Soloing Over the Form of a Song. This is most common in jazz groups that play standards like “All the Things You Are” or “Autumn Leaves.” The key to this is to know the song’s melody intimately and be able to sing it. There is nothing worse than a drummer losing everyone in the band when they blow the form of a song. A musical drummer can sing or hum the melody and always knows where they are in the structure of a song. A considerate drummer will give the band subtle musical cues to mark the sections. A good drummer is truly a conductor, always directing musical traffic and keeping everyone on track and happy. • The Open Drum Solo is that solo where the band leaves the stage and the drummer entertains a sea of smiling fans. Most common in rock groups playing arenas, this is an art form that goes back many years. It started with the great big band drummers and was then taken to the next level by players like Gene Krupa, Buddy Rich, Carmine Appice, Ginger Baker, Don Brewer, Alex Van Halen, and many others.

  • 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.

    JAZZ WRITING? I am one of Mr. Turley's "few people" who follow The New Yorker and are jazz lovers, and I find in Whitney Bal- liett's writing some of the sharpest and best jazz criticism in the field. He has not been duped with "funk" in its pseudo-gospel hard-boppish world, or- with the banal playing and writing of some of the "cool school" Californians. He does believe, and rightly so, that a fine jazz performance erases the bound• aries of jazz "movements" or fads. He seems to be able to spot insincerity in any phalanx of jazz musicians. And he has yet to be blinded by the name of a "great"; his recent column on Bil- lie Holiday is the most clear-headed analysis I have seen, free of the fan- magazine hero-worship which seems to have been the order of the day in the trade. It is true that a great singer has passed away, but it does the late Miss Holiday's reputation no good not to ad• LETTERS mit that some of her later efforts were (dare I say it?) not up to her earlier work in quality. But I digress. In Mr. Balliett's case, his ability as a critic is added to his admitted "skill with words" (Turley). He is making a sincere effort to write rather than play jazz; to improvise with words,, rather than notes. A jazz fan, in order to "dig" a given solo, unwittingly knows a little about the equipment: the tune being improvised to, the chord struc• ture, the mechanics of the instrument, etc.

  • FOREIGNER Can't Slow Down (Rock FM / AOR / Westcoast)
    FOREIGNER Can't slow down (Rock FM / AOR / Westcoast) Année de sortie : 2009 Nombre de pistes : 13 Durée : 49' Support : MP3 Provenance : Acheté Je vais débuter cette chronique du retour aussi inespéré qu'inattendu d'une légende du Hard-Rock / Rock-FM par quelques chiffres : 1/ Premier album 1977 (Foreigner) Ce Can't Slow Down déboule donc 32 ans plus tard (jolie carrière tout de même !) et est le neuvième studio du groupe ! 2/ FOREIGNER a vendu plus de 65 millions de cds au monde. (Et c'est pas fini !) Après ses 3 remarquables et remarqués premiers albums (1977 Foreigner, 1978 Double Vison, 1979 Head Games), c'est en 1981 que le groupe explose les compteurs avec 4 (avec le géant John Mutt LANGE aux "manettes"). Agent Provocateur, 1984 laissera une place conséquente aux claviers et placera encore quelques hymnes (I Wanna Know What Love Is, That Was Yesterday) dans les charts mondiaux. La suite, c'est Inside Information en 1987, un bon album avec son single "Say You Will", puis le départ de son chanteur Lou GRAMM... Et avant son retour pour un agréable et calme Mr Moonlight en 1995, FOREIGNER offre un Unusual Heat inégal dont je retiens la ballade I'll Fight For You, avec un nouveau et excellent chanteur (Johnny EDWARDS). Vous noterez donc qu'il aura fallu attendre 14 ans pour que FOREIGNER livre un nouvel opus. Attente récompensé s'il en est ! FOREIGNER revient donc en 2009 avec une formule à 6 musiciens, comme à ses débuts. Mais des débuts justement, il ne reste que Mick JONES, notre anglais dont le duo avec Lou GRAMM, notre américain fit des miracles d'écritures par le passé ! En revanche, bonne pioche pour le choix du nouveau chanteur absolument prodigieux et nommé Kelly HANSEN.

Ils jouent dans des groupes, composent et écrivent des chansons dans un répertoire ‘’ Country Pop ‘’ Avant leur rencontre, Brad jouait de la basse dans des groupes de rock, mais c’est la country music qui l’attire. Sa femme MaryLynne n’avait jamais écrit de chansons auparavant. Elle est un des 8 enfants d’une famille de musiciens, le père était membre du célèbre groupe : ‘’The Platters’’. MaryLynne et Brad font carrière dans la musique et chantent sur scène en tant que duo musical. Ils ouvrent aussi une école de musique : ‘’The Music Scene’’.

  • The Jazz Scene”—Various Artists (1949) Added to the National Registry: 2007 Essay by Tad Hershorn (Guest Post)*
    “The Jazz Scene”—Various artists (1949) Added to the National Registry: 2007 Essay by Tad Hershorn (guest post)* Original album cover When “The Jazz Scene” was released in 1950, Norman Granz had significantly reshaped the jazz world in his image. Jazz historian and senior “Down Beat” editor John McDonough emphatically summed up Granz’s achievements when he wrote, “Two mavericks changed the face of jazz in the 1940s. Charlie Parker changed the way it was played. Norman Granz changed the way it was sold.” By this time, Granz’s popular seasonal national tours of Jazz at the Philharmonic (JATP), jam session concerts of jazz superstars, had gone on since 1945 after their debut in his hometown of Los Angeles the previous year. In 1949, Ella Fitzgerald joined JATP in what turned out to be a nearly 45-year relationship with Granz, who both managed her career and had her recording contract. Oscar Peterson began a similar long-term relationship with Granz when he joined JATP in 1950, when Granz likewise managed and recorded him over the decades. Granz also distinguished himself as an unyielding champion of racial justice, who had anti-segregation clauses in his contracts from the very beginning, and also offered top pay, travel and accommodations for those working for him. Two years later the jazz impresario began annual tours of Europe, where JATP proved to be as popular there as it had been in the United States. In 1953, Granz and his tours and recordings on his independent labels were beginning to crest. Around 500,000 people packed his concerts worldwide, including tours of Europe and Japan, while he also produced half the jazz records in the United States.

    ANNUAL REPORT 2017-18 FROM OUR LEADERS MESSAGE FROM THE 2017-18 BOARD CHAIR KELLY HANSEN Typically, the Chairman’s message focuses on the Chamber’s accomplishments over the past year…and once again, there are many. But I would like to take this opportunity to look ahead at how we can work together to shape our region’s future. Vision North Iowa Diligent implementation of the Vision North Iowa Strategic Plan is essential to the growth and success of our region. A top priority of the steering committee is alignment of resources and improved communication to avoid duplication of effort. The Chamber has volunteered to help lead the People, Place & Prosperity goal. You’ll be hearing more about this as we work to increase the educational attainment levels of our workforce; Kelly Hansen champion placemaking projects to create needed community amenities for workers and their families; and POET Biorefining-Hanlontown strengthen existing partnerships between employers, educational institutions, workforce development entities, Chairman of the Board 2017-18 and economic development organizations. River City Renaissance Project As the operator of a business that depends upon the economic vitality of North Iowa and relies upon this region to recruit and retain qualified workers, I continue to support this project. Last November, when voters overwhelmingly chose pro-downtown project candidates and cast a favorable vote of 75% on the two project ballot measures, almost seems a distant memory. Certainly, everyone thought we’d be further along by now. State and city officials and project partners remain committed to this project. The greater risk is to do nothing.
