Drums

I am trying to do some research on the CMC trap kit I bought 10 years ago. The drumset held up fairly well considering how many shows my band played around the Northwest. Trying to figure out more about it, I think I have found a small piece of the puzzle. Capital Music Center (CMC) is a place that instructs music including percussion. I am not 100 percent sure , but this might be a kit that a student gets after enrolling in a program?

I plan on rebuilding this kit, starting with laminate from Rockin Wraps in Seattle. I cant let this kit go, I have had it for to long.

The bass drum was invented around the 1930's

by Gabriella Pittui in timmins Ontario Canada!!

It's commonly believed the concept of a 'bass drum' was invented by New Orleans drummer Baby Dodds after he moved to California in 1921.

there are many.

djembe, kutirinding, tran bat, fulla djembe, tama, dun ba and more.

Surdo, caixa, repinique, tamborim, chocalho, ganza, cuica, agogo, pandeiro.

Well I think that African slit drums traveled globally in prehistory..because they have them in melanesia, smller one's in polynesia and they did have them in central America...so it's a question of which way did they travel..they predominantly have them in west Africa but I've heard that the sudanese have them too....interesting, I got taught how to play some melanesian and polynesian rythms, but am of African ancestry, so I'm always asking myself the same question!!

The donno drum is a drum from south Africa it is a wooden hourglass-shaped, two-headed drum covered with goatskin. The twin heads are laced together by thongs of gut or leather. To play it you hold it under one arm and strick it with a curved slick made of wood.

Most likely gravity believe it or not, the sound waves travel differently :)

Ringo Starr (The Beatles), Keith Moon (The Who), Ginger Baker (Cream), Mitch Mitchell (Jimi Hendrix Experience), Brian Bennett (The Shadows), Gene Krupa (various jazz bands).

Assuming the Kundu drum spoken of, is the Papua New Guinean one, the way you play it is to hold its handle in your non-dominant hand - left hand if you're right-handed, right hand if you're left-handed - and hit the drum skin with your bare hand.

You can get a variety of tones, depending on where you hit it, whether or not the drum skin has been prepared, and how hard you are hitting it.

Drums are actually very hard to play. You do FOUR THINGS simultaneously..

i dont know the exact answer to this, but ive been playing drums for almost 4 years. The thing about drums is that, unlike most instruments, you only need one hand to make one note. Guitar you would need your strumming hand, and the hand on the neck of the guitar. Trumpet you only have to use one hand, but you have to change pitch with your lips. On drums, all the notes are litterally in front of you, and you only have 2 arms to move onto a set of drums, compared to 10 fingers and an array of lip movements. i hope that helped.

Most people think they are easy to play because at the root of the instrument it's just keeping a beat, kind of like tapping your toe to a song. Look up basic rock beat on youtube to see the easiest thing to play. It's learning how to have your 4 extremities do different things at the same time, totally out of your bodies natural rythym, that is hard. The better you get at that, the more you can CREATE a groove, rather than just keep a beat.

Ludwig imports the Accent line from Taiwan. They make their other drums in Monroe, NC, and LaGrange Park, IL.

In the 13 century, Aamir Khusarao invented tabla. He broke mruang into two parts to manke the tabla.Of cource after that he aded some changes to it.

Archaeologists believe it was the flute, made from bone.

Jen uses Sabian.

AAX-Xplosion crashes 18"-20"

AA Medium ride 21"

AAX X-celerator hats 14"

because thats was a sign about whwn theyre sad and it was a good way to know that their still alive

Five really, for the basic kit.

Bass, snare, hi-hat (orig. called the Charleston Pedal, apparently), ride cymbal, tom-tom.

That 5 will cover a lot of arrangements especially if you are inventive and proficient with the snare-drum and cymbal; but you can add extra tom-toms, cymbals of various sizes, a second bass-drum, wood-blocks, cow-bells and so on.

You can also use different "sticks" - the basic sticks with wood or plastic tips, brushes (used a lot in jazz and dance-band styles), and for special effects tympani beaters and slap-sticks.

The biggest packaged drum sets would have eight or nine drums, depending on how many floor toms you get. Seriously huge rigs like Neil Peart or Nicko McBrain have are custom ordered, and when you custom-order a drum set it can be as big as you like.

It keeps the beat to our favorite music so they don't get out of place.

Drums have also had a bigger impact on our lives, the military march to the beat of the drums, in times of war drums have been used to rouse your own troops and to put fear into the enemy, the Royal Navy "beat to quarters" when a drummer would play the drum to summon the sailors to action stations. Drums have been used as a means of communication by peoples all over the world.

"Wipeout"

They are played with the hands.

well I'm pretty sure when you hit the skin (top part) of the drum, it vibrates through the cavity in the base of the drum making a sound
