PASIC 2013 certainly raised the bar for future iterations of the Greatest Four Days in Percussion, as attendees were introduced to so many amazing sessions. During PASIC 2013, PAS and Rhythm! Discovery Center opened its most auspicious exhibit to date with DRUMset: Driving the Beat of American Music. This first-of-its-kind exhibit details the evolution of the drumset—a truly Ameri- can instrument—from its simple beginnings in the late 19th Century to the bombastic kits used in the music of today. Kits on display included those used with such groups and artists as Fletcher Henderson, Led Zeppelin, Rush, Michael Jackson, Kenny Rogers, and Wilco. Over 1,000 individuals visited Rhythm! Discovery Center during the first four days of the exhibit and were in awe of being so close to such important kits in the history of music. DRUMset will run through November 2015 with the inclusion of new kits and additional mini-exhibits. Four worthy individuals were inducted into the PAS Hall of Fame Thursday night, as Clifford Alexis, Harold Jones, Dr. Gary Olmstead, and Salvatore Rabbio all joined an impressive list of drummers and percussionists in the Hall. We thank these four gentlemen for their outstanding accomplishments and continued work in the percussion world. On Friday, PAS awarded members, volunteers, and chapters for their continued service to the society and the percussion world. Jeff Hartsough, Executive Director of PAS and Rhythm! Discovery Center, stated, “Returning to Indianapolis for PASIC 2013 brought a lot of excitement and anticipation. Along with the grand opening of the new DRUMset exhibit at Rhythm! Discovery Center, additional new events including Technology Day and the DrumLine Battle were a huge success. I was very pleased with the amount of exhibitors who returned to the Expo, and the overall PASIC attendance stayed strong at 5,100. Finally, thank you to ALL of the sponsors, exhibitors, artists, volunteers, attendees, and staff for making PASIC 2013 the success that it was; we couldn’t have done it without you.” PASIC 2014 will be held in Indianapolis, Indiana Nov. 19–22 at the Indiana Convention Center. Artist applications for PASIC 2014 are being accepted online at www.pas.org through Dec. 15, 2013, and exhibitor packets will be available in February 2014. DECEMBER 2013 2 PERCUSSION NEWS www.pas.org From the President: Reaching Out and Looking In by John R. Beck, PAS President eflecting on our November PASIC in RIndianapolis, I wonder if everyone who attended was as inspired and informed by the outstanding performers and clinicians and energized by reconnecting with old friends and developing new professional relationships as I was. There is no experience quite like spending four days with 5,100 people and 115 exhibi- tors who all love percussion. I am pleased to announce that PASIC 2013 was one of the most successful PASICs that we’ve ever hosted! Reaching Out In my last Society Update I highlighted the Rhythm! Discovery Center and our efforts to reach out to the public with our new DRUMset exhibit. I hope that many PASIC attendees were able to get to the Rhythm! Discovery Center to see this amazing collection of drums and drum history. Throughout the many sets of drums on display there is valuable histori- cal information for the trained percussionist that is presented in a way that anyone can John R.

  • 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.

  • Stylistic Evolution of Jazz Drummer Ed Blackwell: the Cultural Intersection of New Orleans and West Africa
    STYLISTIC EVOLUTION OF JAZZ DRUMMER ED BLACKWELL: THE CULTURAL INTERSECTION OF NEW ORLEANS AND WEST AFRICA David J. Schmalenberger Research Project submitted to the College of Creative Arts at West Virginia University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Percussion/World Music Philip Faini, Chair Russell Dean, Ph.D. David Taddie, Ph.D. Christopher Wilkinson, Ph.D. Paschal Younge, Ed.D. Division of Music Morgantown, West Virginia 2000 Keywords: Jazz, Drumset, Blackwell, New Orleans Copyright 2000 David J. Schmalenberger ABSTRACT Stylistic Evolution of Jazz Drummer Ed Blackwell: The Cultural Intersection of New Orleans and West Africa David J. Schmalenberger The two primary functions of a jazz drummer are to maintain a consistent pulse and to support the soloists within the musical group. Throughout the twentieth century, jazz drummers have found creative ways to fulfill or challenge these roles. In the case of Bebop, for example, pioneers Kenny Clarke and Max Roach forged a new drumming style in the 1940’s that was markedly more independent technically, as well as more lyrical in both time-keeping and soloing. The stylistic innovations of Clarke and Roach also helped foster a new attitude: the acceptance of drummers as thoughtful, sensitive musical artists. These developments paved the way for the next generation of jazz drummers, one that would further challenge conventional musical roles in the post-Hard Bop era. One of Max Roach’s most faithful disciples was the New Orleans-born drummer Edward Joseph “Boogie” Blackwell (1929-1992). Ed Blackwell’s playing style at the beginning of his career in the late 1940’s was predominantly influenced by Bebop and the drumming vocabulary of Max Roach.
