  • The Snare Drum Roll
    ACADEMY OF MUSIC AND DRAMA The Snare Drum Roll Lúcia Viana da Silva Independent Project (Degree Project), 30 HEC, Master of Fine Arts in Symphonic Orchestra Performance Spring Semester, 2017 Independent Project (Degree Project), 30 higher education credits Master of Fine Arts in Symphonic Orchestra Performance Academy of Music and Drama, University of Gothenburg Spring semester, 2017 Author: Lúcia Viana da Silva Title: The Snare Drum Roll Supervisor: PhD Maria Bania Examiner: PhD. Tilman Skowroneck ABSTRACT Key words: orchestral percussion, snare drum, technique, roll. Like most other percussion instruments, the snare drum was introduced relatively late in the symphonic orchestra, and major changes and improvements concerning its playing techniques are still taking place. One of the most distinctive aspects of the snare drum is the roll, which consists of a challenge that most percussionists face eventually during their career. This project reflects my research on the snare drum roll during the last two years, gives a short background of snare drum playing and its technical development, and provides observations and reflections of different techniques to play a roll. As a percussionist myself, I analyzed and practiced on the execution of rolls as part of the research. This project includes notes on my interpretation of four orchestral excerpts, showing how technical development and control over the roll open musical possibilities to the orchestral percussionist. 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMTS I would first like to thank my supervisor, PhD Maria Bania, who was always available and responsive to my questions and supportive of my ideas. Her enthusiasm and constant demand gave me the drive and encouragement for writing this thesis.

  • An Augmented Reality Drum Kit
    ISSN (Online) 2278-1021 ISSN (Print) 2319 5940 International Journal of Advanced Research in Computer and Communication Engineering Vol. 4, Issue 10, October 2015 V-Drum: An Augmented Reality Drum Kit Nestor Lobo1 Scholar, Electronics Department, Vivekanand Education Society‟s Institute of Technology, Mumbai, India1 Abstract: Most modern drum kits are large in size and difficult to transport. Similarly, the cost of a fully stocked drum kit is far in excess of what an average enthusiast can afford. The maintenance of such equipment can be expensive and keeping the instruments properly tuned involves a considerable amount of time. All this can discourage many from seriously learning to play percussion instruments. Musicians draw inspiration from the world around them and in many cases are unable to construct a new piece due to the lack of readily available instruments. The V-Drum is a low-cost, portable drum kit whose implementation is based in Augmented Reality. With the V-Drum, any person with interest can learn to play percussion instruments and even construct music with the variety of virtual instruments at their disposal. Keywords: Human Computer Interaction, Image Processing, Musical Instrument, Augmented Reality, Pattern Recognition, Computer Vision. I. INTRODUCTION A. V-Drum Given the absence of the need to physically move A drummer, as a musician, is an integral part of any band. instruments about, the V-Drum can be used in any It is the drummer who provides the band with the beat and environment without any worry about the sound quality of timing which is vital in the creation and performance of the instruments being affected by environmental factors.

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.

  • 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.
