Drums

Miles Teller!

in my opinion, I think they should if the girls want to there was never a rule saying that girls can't play in the NFL and i think it would be a good way or the NFL to have a woman play football so yes i do think that girls can play in the NFL

yeah the shells are decent, but when you buy the kit:

Replace the Cymbals

Get a new high hat stand

Tom mounts suck

apart from that its a good set

ancient mankind. lachlan marshall the chinese god in 125 BC

so they could honor their gods.like during cerimonies,they would play the drums and dance and sing to worship their gods. i hope that helps.

yes you can but it is quite expensive and is quite hard to find one that will fit your kit.

It also depends on the electric kit you have. If you purchased a standard kit then you will not likely have extra inputs on your drum module / machine, this would require upgrading your module or whole. Which is a better idea than upgrading your pads, as that would have no effect on your sound.

If you are talking about adding acoustic drums to your electric kit, it is probably better to add electric drums to your acoustic kit because you will have a fuller and more original sound.

I got given a pair of Shalimar hi hats. & a 22" ride..

the hi hats really don't work as hi hats , but they have a trashy white noise chaos about them that sounds more like a china.. so I use it for that.

the 22" ride is also quite dissonant , feels like a good lump of brass , has a good ping with a trashy white noise quality that the new trends of custom cymbals try to get.. I like it , dark , noisy , chaotic , it's just a sound , very useable. but not high end..

Mickey Rooney is an accomplished musician and can play piano, drums, banjo, cello, and many other instruments.

It doesn't matter, you're just supposed to tune one of the drums to that certain note.

The most common African drum known to westerners is the hand drum, or Djembe.

Drum notes are the same as other instruments except for the fact that you don't usually have any actual notes like C or E#. Just get instructions on how to read rythmns. Whole Note Shaped like a hollow oval with no stick. Half Note Lasts half as long as a whole note, and is shaped like hollow oval with a stick. Quarter Note Lasts half as long as a half note, and shaped like filled oval with a stick. Eighth Note Lasts half as long as a quarter note, and shaped like filled oval with a stick and a tail. Sixteenth Note Lasts half as long as an eighth note, and has two tails. Further halving of note lengths, to indicate 32nd and 64th notes etc., is written by adding more tails. Eighth Note This is another way to write adjacent eighth notes by connecting the tails. Similarly 16th notes will have two horizontal, 32nd notes will have three lines, etc. Sixteenth Note Connected 16th notes. Eighth Triplet Notes These notes occupy the same time frame as two eighth notes, and are written similarly, but there are three of them with the numeral 3 writen above. Similarly, there are quarter triplets, 16th triplets, 32nd triplets, etc. Each dot-and-stick or x-and-stick represents a note (sound). Music notation for other instruments, such as the piano, indicates the pitch of the note by the position of the dot on the five horizontal lines, called a staff. The higher the dot, the higher the pitch. In drum notation, the note's position on the staff indicates a particular drum or a cymbal. Cymbal notes are often written with X's instead of dots, but not always so. There is no universally accepted way of positioning specific drums or cymbals, but it is generally accepted that the bass drum is written at the bottom, the snare somewhere in the middle, and the hi-hat and cymbals up top. Sometimes, a piece of drum notation will be accompanied by a reading key that percicely indicatas the positioning of the various percussion sounds on the staff. In common drum set music, as in the figure above, it is generally understood that the notes from top to bottom are hi-hat, snare, bass. The timing of each sound depends on the progression of the notes from left to right. It's almost as if there is an imaginary cursor going steadily from left to right on the staff and hitting each sound in turn. There is a little bit more to that, but in order to understand how to tell the timing of each note percicely I'll indroduce the concept of time signatures first. The 4/4 symbol on the left is called a time signature. The time signature indicates how much time and how many beats are is in a measure. A measure is a slice of time in which the fundamental rhythm of the music repeats, although the notes are not generally the same. In music and drum notation each measure is separated by a vertical line. You can see that the first figure has two measures. 4/4 indicates that there are four quarter notes in a measure. The quarter is relative to a time unit called a whole note. This unit is not an absolute length of time (such as 10 seconds) but rather relative to how fast the song is played. Mathematically saying that there are four quarters in a measure is the same as saying there is one whole note in a measure, but musically it's different. For example, in the first figure above you can see that the bass and snare form a four note beat in a measure, and therefore it is more convenient to think of each measure as having four quarter notes and not one whole note. The time signature indicates a conceptual, fundamental beat in the music and the actual notes won't usually repeat exactly. The 4/4 time signature is the most common in popular music, but other time signatures are certainly used, such as 3/4, 8/8, 6/8, and 5/4. The time signature indicates how much "time" fills a measure, and that time is filled by notes. The shape of a note indicates how long it lasts. In percussion there's typically no ability to sustain a sound, therefore, drum notes of a specific length actually mean hitting the drum (or cymbal, etc.) at the beginning, and doing nothing for the rest of the notes' duration

Either mahogany, maple or birch wood are the three main types of wood most standard and professional drums will be made of. Some cheaper value drums could be made of various cheaper types of plywood.

i don't know, but if you do, can you plz tell me? i need it!!

As this is a very open ended answer, I will answer it at it's most basic level. The most basic type of music, as far as drum set goes, is standard rock music in 4/4 time.

The basic five piece rock drum set consists of five drums and three or more cymbals; I will give a brief description of each of the drums. The bass drum is the "low end" of the drum set. It is the typically the largest of the drums in the drum set and being anywhere from 18-26 inches in diameter. It usually has a wooden shell and is played with a foot pedal. The snare drum is the high end of the sonic spectrum on the drum set. It is usually about 13-15 inches in diameter with 14" being the most common size. The shell can be made from a large variety of wood or metal with steel, aluminum, brass, birch and maple being common. The snare drum is unique in that is has several wires, or snares, running along the bottom head giving is a raspy sound. It and the toms and cymbals are played with the two drumsticks held in your hands, matched grip is now more popular and useful in pop-rock music. Spend many years under professional instruction on how to hold and bounce-control your drumsticks ! The three tom-toms (or toms) are typically made from the same material as the bass drum, but are in the middle of the sonic spectrum. Drum diameters for rock music are 12" to 20". The standard "fusion configuration" is 10", 12" and 14". Finally, there are the important cymbals. The ride cymbal is relatively heavy and large, typically 18-24 inches in diameter, and is used primarily for both timekeeping and setting the color-mood of the music - more relaxed or more tight. This ride pattern may change frequently in some more complex songs. The hi-hat has two smaller cymbals, usually 14", that are affixed to a stand that allows them to be "choked" together by pressing a pedal with one foot, usually the left foot if you are right-footed and play the more important bass drum with your right foot. The hi-hat is primarily used for timekeeping and playing softer sounds than the more driving ride and crash sounds. The crash cymbal, usually about 16"-20" is a light or medium weight and a bright-cutting sounding cymbal this is used for accenting anywhere in the music or signifying the beginning of a new section of a song.

As for the function of the different parts....

The hi-hat and ride cymbals are used for timekeeping and they usually play a very simple repeating pattern of steady eighth or quarter notes. The snare drum is normally used for playing louder the back beats, or the two and four of rock music. The bass drum is used for the loud front beats, the one and three of rock music in 4/4 time. The toms and crash cymbal are used for fills...improvised faster rhythms that help to signify the end/beginning of a section of the music or to add more drive intensity anywhere when needed. When coming from the verse to the chorus, for instance, one might play two beats on the toms/snare drum, ending with the first beat of the chorus on the crash cymbal, or moving the ride beat to a different cymbal.

Remember, that this is only rock music, and there are exceptions to every rule. If you are interested in learning how to play the drums, then you should find a qualified private teacher in your area who will teach you how to properly hold and control the stick bounces, read music and to play a variety of different styles including many types of jazz, rock, funk, Latin (bossa nova, samba, songo, rumba, Mozambique, etc.), country, etc. This will ensure that you are a well-rounded percussionist should you every decide to enter into music as a career. Solid time-keeping is more important than flashy speed ! Few drummers are born with naturally solid time; long years of dedicated playing will improve your time-keeping. Many drummers use an earphone or flashing light metronome to keep more solid time. This has pros and cons of course.

For big band and solo playing, Buddy Rich was a master drummer, and someone to watch and listen to as an example.

A fifer's drum is called a tabor, which is a small portable snare drum that is played by hand.

You can "called" them a drummer, or percussionist.

Dunduns traditionally come from Ghana! xxx

In New Orleans in the late 1800's and early 1900's the African origins of the black musicians mixed with the sounds of military bands and possibly Spanish and French dance music. Unfortunately for history, there were no recordings of the formative years .Prominent drummers in the earliest recorded jazz were Baby Dodds and Paul Barbarin.

The talking drums were drums that have the shape similar to an hourglass and are found in west Africa. The were used for purposes of conveying tonal messages to people who were up to five miles away.

The dimensions of a 210 liter steel drum is 890 mm high by 580 mm diameter. The weight empty is typically 16 kg.
