Drummers and Drum Kits

Rock world or the jazz world is an exclusive place to find a good drummer. There are many bands which had come and gone, taking with them their drummers, but few of them remain in the memories of the people. Drummers like Keith Moon, Jon Bonham, Neil Pert, Lars Ulrich and few others are still idolized by their fans. They are a excellent class by themselves. Each is different from the other, whether it is the drumming style or the drum kits they use.

Let us begin with Keith Moon. He was born in23rd August 1946 and died on 7th September 1978. He lived a short period of life because of his alcoholism and acute odd behaviour. He is still famous. Some of his followers also named him as ‘Mad Moon’. He was renowned for his innovativeness and was a dramatic drummer. In 1964 Keith joined ‘The Who’ band. He was a very fast drummer, a singer and also a composer. He used to play faster and sound, but with authority. He used explosives and fireworks in his stage shows.. He was so peculiar that he has broken many drums and perhaps his hobby was to blow up toilets.

Military Drummer

Posted in Percussion

The role of the military drummer is a fascinating chapter from the hidden history of drums. Hidden, because most people are unaware of the vital role played by the military drummer in communicating strategy and keeping the machinery of battle oiled.

In the 17th century, in preparation for battle, before the head on clash between rival armies, considerable time was spent manouvering men into position.
The drums were used to convey orders – each ‘beat’ having a specific meaning instantly recognisable to the soldiers.

Drum Therapy on heart patients

Posted in Percussion

Drum your name, we were ordered, and we did, repeating the beat and the name until ordered to stop. Thus began a four-week study of drum therapy with Miranda Ritterman and her father, Dr. Jeff Ritterman, a cardiologist at Kaiser in Richmond.

It was fun, relaxing and entrancing, and made for a great feeling of community. And that was the goal, according to the Rittermans and to Christine Stevens, who flew up from Los Angeles each week to lead the sessions. From all walks of life, and different backgrounds, by the end of the sessions we knew each other liked each other a lot. Almost everyone was terribly unhappy when the four-week sessions were over.
