  • Instrumentation
    INSTRUMENTATION Timpani Use four (4) timpani with tuning pedals in the following sizes: 32” (D-A), 29” (F-c), 23” (c-a), 23” (c-a). Roman numerals from I through IV enumerate each timpano from lowest to highest. The piece calls for two tunings, distinguished by a change in key signature: Chimes Use a rack of chimes with a dampener pedal that spans one and one-fourth (1 & 1/4) octaves. Only ten (10) tubes will be used. These must be hung in the “white note” rank of the chime rack, from lowest to highest. (Discard the unused tubes, or store behind in the “black note” rank.) This arrangement is necessary to expose the chosen tubes such that they may be played upon directly. The ten pitches are given below, in the same key scheme as that used for the timpani tunings: i Cymbals, Triangle and Skins Cymbals are notated using lines on a neutral staff. From top to bottom, the lines indicate high splash, low splash, suspended cymbal, crash cymbals, and gong. Triangle and skins are notated using spaces on the neutral staff. From top to bottom, the spaces indicate triangle, tambourine, snare drum and bass drum. Some instruments must be doubled to facilitate ease of performance. Specifics of type and the minimum number of each instrument are as follows: high and low splash cymbals three (3) pairs suspended cymbal — medium two (2) crash cymbals — medium two (2) pairs gong one (1) triangle two (2) tambourine — medium size with head two (2) snare drum — medium one (1) bass drum — 3’ to 4’ in diameter, on swivel stand one (1) See below for details about mallet choice and a suggested arrangement for all instruments.

  • Timbales Setup: • Traditionally Low Drum on Left and High Drum on the Right • Height of Drums Different from Player to Playe
    Timbales Setup: • Traditionally low drum on left and high drum on the right • Height of drums different from player to player and set up to set up • A cha cha cowbell, a timbale bell, a pearl block • Sometimes players use a crash cymbal as part of their set up to be used for hits, mambo patterns, suspended cymbal rolls, etc. Additional Set-up Possibilities Oftentimes you may find the use of a bass drum and a snare drum suspended near the timbale for quick access. This particular set-up resembles that of a drum set without the high-hat and additional toms. Placement / setup of the additional instruments vary from player to player. The setup for the cowbells and block is up to the performer. Helpful Hints: When selecting cowbells for your timbales, it is extremely important to pay close attention to sound quality. For the cha cha bell, make sure the sound is equal to those heard on an actual cha cha. This requires you to test out as many cowbells as needed to get that right one. Use the same process for the timbale block. Do not purchase an instrument based on price. Just because it was a good deal does not mean it is the best sound Tuning: Varies from player to player and from one style to another. I like the high timbale to have a high piercing sound when playing rim shots, fills or solos. I like it tight enough to produce great sounding rolls. The low drum should be tuned low enough to produce a good impact sound when combined with a crash cymbal.

  • A Guide to Cymbals, Part 4 by Nick Petrella
    A Guide to Cymbals, Part 4 by Nick Petrella PLACEMENT The optimum place for cymbals in concert ensembles is either between the snare and bass drum or with the accessories between the snare drum and mallet keyboard instruments. The number of people covering parts and the instrumentation will be the deciding factor. In marching ensembles, the cymbals may be placed anywhere in the pit. Again, the number of people and instrumentation will be the deciding fac- tor. An important sound factor is removing the hand cymbal players from in front of the snare drummers as soon as the cymbal pattern is finished. If not, they will absorb a lot of sound, especially if there are sound scoops on the snare drums. Music and Tray Stand Placement The important consideration with music stand placement is to keep it high enough to see the music and the conduc- tor. Percussionists should place the music stand at an angle so the music is not blown away by the wind produced by playing the hand cymbals. Carpeted tray tables are more versatile than cymbal cradles because they are easy to use and can hold sticks, mallets and small instruments as well as cymbals (Figures 31 and 32). They are inexpensive to make. No noise oc- curs when setting the cymbals down because the straps touch the cymbals. A tiered tray stand works well too as it holds a collection of small instruments, sticks and mallets on stage. Whether a tray table or cymbal cradle is used, it should be placed between the percussionist and the conductor.

  • A Guide to Cymbals, Part 3 Dr
    A Guide to Cymbals, Part 3 Dr. Nick Petrella ATTACHED CYMBAL / BASS DRUM There are times when it may be better for the overall musical effect to use two percussionists rather than one or vice-versa. The music is most impor- tant, so we must use good musical judgment in each situation. An efficient set-up for one percussionist allows the cymbals and bass drum to be played and muted easily. An example is when the cymbal and attach- ment is mounted to the bass drum at the 10 o’clock position, although the performer may attach the cymbal anywhere depending on the individual’s size, height of the bass drum and available space. For right handed play- ers this is facilitated by placing the right foot on a footstool or small chair. Some bass drum frames even have a foot rest at the base. This position allows the bass drum head to be muted with the right knee and permits the attached cymbal to be muted with the chest or torso while the hand cymbal is generally muted by pulling it toward the under arm (See Figures 22 and 23). To mute more gradually and with less motion, bend the wrist so the fore- arm mutes the cymbal first then pull it into the upper torso (Figure 24). The right hand is free to assist in muting the bass drum or cymbal. If a cymbal attachment is not available, use a cymbal stand off to the side of the bass drum (Figure 25). Be careful not to over-tighten the attached cym- bal as this will hinder the cymbal from vibrating freely and may result in a cracked bell.

Why? Because you can be creative! Although there are time-honored traditions on how to play these instru- ments, in the last 30+ years we have seen and heard several variations on playing techniques and available sounds. Percussionists from around the world, in classical, pop, jazz, studio, and world music settings have been discovering and utilizing these other techniques with great success. It is important that you know and understand the basic playing techniques and available sounds first. These will serve you quite well in concert band, wind ensemble, and orchestral settings. Many of you will have the opportunity to play percussion in a jazz ensemble or perhaps in a band of your own. That’s where these performance variations will really come into play. These variations are based on the performance techniques of similar instruments from cultures around the world, and today’s orchestral players are finding many of these quite useful, too. The most important thing is to have fun! Try these only as a starting point – there is no limit to the use of your own creativity. Triangle When holding the triangle in a clip in the standard fashion, it is possible and often desirable to muffle the sound of the triangle with the heel and/or the fingers of the hand that is holding the clip. The following ex- ample is one way to attain a useful pattern using this technique.
