Drummers and Drum Kits

Posted in Percussion

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.

This article will give you the ABCs of tuning your drums to find the right sound for you, as well as give you tips on improving the strength of your skins. That being said, you need to know that there is no one way to tune your drums. Tuning your drums is extremely personal (like selecting skins) and you must experiment to get the pitch right for you!
