Drummers showed numerous opportunities favorable. They are part of ceremonies and rites of passage, and, of course, to celebrate. The contemporary manifestation of the drum is very fascinating. I heard (can not remember where) that in some African cultures, the leader of a tribe would be determined by a competition drumming.

America is the birthplace of a single embodiment of a tool called a drum, drum kit or trap set. The drum share or provide a more recent case is of many kinds of drums, cymbals and the heads of the noise. The band has been reduced, since it has taken too much space in the pit orchestra. E 'was reduced from 3 pieces at the bottom) to 2 (bass and snare drum. The basic package includes a bass drum, snare and hi hat. Most drum kits include some mounted toms and cymbals (the two are of Chinese origin) and the noise that they make tools like wood blocks and bells. The drum> It is set to be played more often with sticks. Mallets and brushes are also used. The percussion has a definite form or place of origin. According to my research, developed from the post of civil war, bands, and New Orleans marching band parade. If the pedals designed the drums becomes a work man. The pedal in front of the low-boy, who after extended farther from the earth was HALLO-hats. With the "trap-tion" (theMechanisms, a functional connection HELLO hat) allowed to do the Charleston with his foot. This is where the name was "done case".

One of the most interesting things for me is that this is a clear change in the way drums were marked. They were marching separately. the drum set was very patient and took a room. The drummer was a one-man band and the center of the rhythm section. Drummers have the power to change the rhythm of when and how they want. They also develop the independence of the individual arts. There is so much like dancing to play an instrument. There is something special for the community and the focus of a drum corp. It is much easier, a rhythm, when many people are working together to create. There are also the creation of exciting momentum, when many parts of something bigger than any single member. There are interesting poly-rhythms, to develop. As the drum> Set a drummer has more concentrated power and skills are more inventive. The task of the contemporary drummer is fun, exciting and very challenging. To keep the heart rhythm together and play a key role for all melody instruments, while the search for creative ways to be one and the same time. Therefore, a drum fill is an explosion of creative energy by most drummers.

I wonder how the crowd in the future development of the drum.The transition from a brass band, a bass, snare and hat HELLO. to large groups of the '70s and now electronic drum in September There is a return of the bands. Or replace the drum machine drummer. A creative variation on this theme is the "Stomp" the project. "Stomp" uses all kinds of rubbish and household objects as percussion instruments. Talented drummers perform together peices of PVC tubing and garbage cans, among other things.

Maybe in the future, Americanslove the music so much force, see our presidential candidates to face off in a debate about who has more musical ability, talent, attention and spirit. The winner will be a ballot, the next president. There are no words, only para deceived, power, soul and improvisation. The saxophone has certainly contributed to Bill Clinton. What will the future?
