Classification of Percussion |
|
if its struck, plucked hammered, shaken, scraped |
|
|
provides a harmonic series |
|
|
does not provide a harmonic series |
|
|
Any percussion instrument thats produced with a vibrating head |
|
|
Has the quality of holding vibration (wood block, cymbals) |
|
Six Functions of Percussion |
|
Provide rhythm (demonstrate how time is kept)
Variation of color (timbre)
Dynamic reinforcement (can play soft and loud with good tone)
Thematic development (can carry melody)
Unique articulation (different mediums cause different sounds)
Special effects (claps, snaps…)
|
|
Selecting the proper striking implement: |
|
Examine the grain / Check the finish / Roll the stick on a flat surface / Pitch-Match the sticks |
|
|
Hinger, Cooperman, Vic firth, Innovative-Vader, Pro-Mark, Gretsch, Yamaha, Ludwig |
|
|
Increases w/ letters: A(Orchestra)-B(and)-S(treet) // Decreases w/ numbers (large-small): 2-3-7 |
|
|
batterhead (top) / resonant head (bottom) / shell / counterhoop (rim) / flesh hoop (inner attachment) / tension rods / tension casing (mounts) / air vent / snare butt (fixed end) / throw-off mechanism (lever) / snare bed (where the snares pass) / internal tone control (pad inside) |

|
|
|
uses 13 muscles, 3 primary and 10 secondary // universal drumming // uniform motion // natural intuition |
|
|
uses 3 muscles, all primary // rudimental snare drumming & sometimes snare // contrary motion // counter-intuitive |
|
|
RH & LH fulcrum, finger position, stroke height, stick placement |
|
|
|
|
|
Types of Strokes (will have to diagram) |
|
|
|
hash = convert to eighth notes // rolls marked with diddle line |
|
|
hash = half the value of the note // rolls marked with diddle line |
|
|
NARD established 13 essential rudiments, then added 13 more later to make 26 // 40 rudiments total now
