We redesigned the handle, changed the jingle layout and the balance point. We gave it a unique cushioned over-molded playing edge, and added more than 15 other design innovations to create the new Rhythm Tech “Pro” Tambourine. The Pro has a lighter, more responsive and comfortable feel with a sound that can only be described as “turbo-charged”. Features The Handle, a marvel of ergonomics not only feels great, but also controls the instrument better so that less effort is required. The Pro features an over-molded soft playing edge molded onto both sides of the frame to form a seamless permanent playing surface that provides unparalleled comfort. Another new innovation, Stainless Steel jingles. Stainless Steel is a harder more durable material that has a truer fundamental pitch. That means less overtones and longer sustain. These jingles have more volume to really cut through. The Pro is also available with our traditional Brass Jingles. Brass has a deeper chunkier sound that sounds great for recording. We adjusted the center of gravity of the instrument ever so slightly so that it would feel lighter and more responsive and we changed the layout of the jingles. Now they are grouped on the arc to react faster so that you get more sound with less effort. The holes in the corners of the Pro easily slip onto the new ProMount*. The mount will fit onto a DSM2 or DSM Quad Mount (or any other device that attaches to a stand and accepts a standard 3/8” rod), and allows the Pro to slip on and off so that it can instantly be converted to a mounted tambourine.

    Newsletter Accent New Faculty Faces Angelemia Bacherman, Eguie Castrillio We are pleased to announce that the college has added two new, important faces to the Percussion Department faculty, Angelemia Bacherman and Eguie Castrillio. With the increase in enrollment that we experienced at the beginning of the Fall ‘99 semester, especially in the area of drumset principals, the college has added an exceptionally talented drumset artist to its ranks (Angelemia). Angelemia is cer- tainly no stranger to the Percussion Department, having substituted for other faculty in the past and has taught in the college’s 5-Week program for the past few years. With the departure from our faculty of Bobby Sanabria, the college has added one of the most respected Afro-Cuban hand percussionists around, Eguie Castrillio. Origionally from Puerto Rico, Eguie has already made a major impact on the many Afro-Cuban lab offerings in the department. Berklee Percussion Department Volume 8, Issue 2 Volume Fall ‘99 Clinics Two remaining visiting artist clinics will take place during the Fall‘ 99 semester. On November 18, vibist Bill Molenhoff returns from Europe leading his own band for a performance in the David Friend Recital Hall from 1-3pm.

Hughes Foundation and the Tanglewood Music Center Opera Fund. *Guest artist George Benjamin (b.1960) Written on Skin, Opera in Three Parts (2009-12) SYNOPSIS by Martin Crimp Part One I. Chorus of Angels “Erase the Saturday car-park from the market place—fade out the living—snap back the dead to life.” A Chorus of Angels takes us back 800 years, to a time when every book is a precious object “written on skin”. They bring to life two of the story’s protagonists: the Protector, a wealthy and intelligent landowner “addicted to purity and violence,” and his obedient wife—his “property” —Agnès. One of the angels then transforms into the third protagonist— “the Boy”—an illuminator of manuscripts. II. The Protector, Agnès and the Boy In front of his wife, the Protector asks the Boy to celebrate his life and good deeds in an illuminated book. It should show his enemies in Hell, and his own family in Paradise. As proof of his skill the Boy shows the Protector a flattering miniature of a rich and merciful man.

  • 5-Piece Junior Drum Kit Assembly Instruction
    5-Piece Junior Drum Kit Assembly Instruction Thank you for choosing this quality set from Cecilio. Use the instructions as a guide to help you assemble your new drum set. Please note that this manual is designed for a number of Cecilio drum sets. If you are unsure of what your drum set should be supplied with, please check with the Cecilio dealer you purchased the kit from. There are many parts that make up a drum set, but don’t worry, once you get started the process is very intuitive and fun. Bass Drum: 1. Lay the Bass drum Shell (A) on a flat surface with the front side up. You can identify the front side by the location of the Bass Drum leg mount (B). The leg mounts are closer to the front side of the bass drum (furthest from the playing position). 2. The “logo drumhead” should be fitted to the front of the bass drum and aligned straight. 3. Place the drum head (C) (same diameter as the drum) directly on the top of the drum shell followed by the hoop (D). 4. Gently hang the claws (E) over the edge of the hoop, and line them up with the lugs. Take the longest ten- sion screws (aka T-Rods), slip a washer on each, and insert them through the holes in the claws. 5. Tighten the screws into the lugs using your fingers two at a time, just enough so the hoops are secure, and no wrinkles are in the head. 6. Now you may use a drum key (F) to tighten the tension bolts in equal amounts (1 quarter turn each for example) until pitch and tone of the drum begin to sound.

  • Make It Happen
    Make it Happen 1 Volume, 1 DVD 2 printed scores by Enrico Bertelli PhD Music University of York September 2012 Y3479621 PhD Enrico Bertelli Abstract Works for percussion are often neglected and underperformed because of instrumental unavailabil- ity, logistic limitations and notation issues. This research addresses these problems by delivering eight self-contained, adaptable and transportable multipercussion-based projects. The first three works solve these problems by using found objects, body percussion and imaginary instruments, revolving around the concept of interchangeable, if not transportable, instrumentation. The fol- lowing two projects look at the snare drum as a harmonious box (a resonant body), augmenting its timbre with extended techniques - such as mallets and hybrid hand/stick techniques- and live electronics. The audio processing starts with short and crisp sounds and looks at ways to gen- erate pitch via resonators, and how to control length with reverb. The remaining three projects focus exclusively on MIDI percussion, filling a wide gap in the repertory. These are the first works composed with this instrument in mind and not as a transcription or as a substitute for more common instruments. They cover, respectively, the areas of sampling, automated pitch randomizers and live MIDI scaling and shaping. Furthermore, the max4live MIDI patches serve as a link between the pitched and unpitched percussion, empowering the drum kit with harmonic and melodic controls. All the projects are designed to solve logistic problems and are developed as concerts-in-a-suitcase, a concept which is at the basis of my research Make it Happen. All the scores and types of notation put the performer’s needs first; this is why I produced performance editions, sometimes to the disadvantage of the original composition.

I originally intended this to reduce tension and allow any nervous freshmen to relax with an easy frst question, but the responses I received highlighted many of the wonderful aspects of band.
