Drum Ensemble

Goro-Goro is an ensemble of musicians, singers, and dancers based in San Diego, California. Performances include drumming, percussion, melodic instruments, dance, and vocals to create a blend of audio and visual entertainment. The music has roots in many world cultures, but is developed with few intentions of ethnic identity or authenticity. It is not African or Latin or Indonesian; it is San Diegan.

Performances are geared towards stage performance for a seated audience, dance clubs, or a mixture. Emphasis is on percussion and physical movement over melody or verbal content, though all elements are involved. The percussion ranges from sparse, light rhythms with melodic accompaniment to massive, powerful beats that shake the walls, massage your heart, an move your feet. All music is acoustic and natural, with no electronics or amplification.

From an Acoustic to an Electronic Drum

Posted in Percussion

I used to have a nice, soundproofed practice room that I built in my garage. It wasn’t the best unit in the world, but I was very proud of it. Then I moved house.
I was presented with a problem. The family was growing and there was nowhere in the house that I could play the drums without driving the family and the new neighbors up the wall. Soundproofing a room was out of the question because we simply couldn’t afford to sacrifice an entire room. Space was at a premium.

So what should I do? Give up playing? Although I wasn’t playing in a band at the time, the idea of being unable to play whenever I wanted was not an appealing thought. I’ve been playing the drums for about 20 years – I haven’t persevered at anything else for half as long. I always knew that the day might come when I would no longer be able to play an acoustic drum set at home. And this is why I decided in advance that I would have to look into the possibility of an electronic drum set.

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.
