<br />
No matter what genre you’re listening to, live music played well is truly special. It’s one thing to listen to recorded music but going and watching them perform live can show you another side to musician and their craft. Great live performances can be the true measure of the skill of a musician, whether it be a guitarist, vocalist or a drummer. Drum solos aren’t quite as common, but there have been some unforgettable throughout the history of rock music, and we’ve decided to compile a shortlist of some of our favourites.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Buddy Rich is often considered one of the greatest drummers of all time, and his performance in the Dominican Republic in 1982 stands as a testament to his. There are many different Rich performances that may have made the list, but this particular performance takes the cake given that it is steeped in drumming lore.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Not only is it rumoured to have been the main inspiration for the final drum solo in the Academy Award winning film Whiplash, but the story goes that the famous Jazz drummer actually experienced a heart attack mid solo. Even someone that has never played the drums can appreciate the skill on display here.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>Keith Moon</b></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><b> </b></span></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">The Who´s drummer was known for destroying instruments for time to time, and interestingly the fact that he wasn’t a big fan of the drum solo. The Who´s style has been described as one where every musician takes the lead, so in many ways if you went to see them play you were going to see Keith Moon put on a performance.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As was his and the band’s trademark, this solo in 1967 resulted in the instruments being destroyed, but boy did Moon put on a show beforehand. This particular solo is rumoured to have left him deaf in one ear.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><b>Joe Morello</b></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Another legend that belongs on the Mount Rushmore of drumming, Joe Morello had an understated style compared to some of the others you'll find on this list. This particular solo from 'Take Five' in 1959 showed off Morello's full repertoire, which was smooth, sophisticated and filled with complexity. He even played with his hands at one point, which was quite a surprise for the crowd. Interestingly, Joe Morello was born with very poor sight, which encouraged him to stay indoors and practice the drums, which could be played well on feel alone. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Led Zeppelin's Moby Dick included one of the more memorable drum solo in the recorded version, and when the band played it live it became even more impressive. John Bonham cemented himself in the drumming hall of fame with this performance in 1970, where the drummer's fierce and accurate playing style was on display like never before. Bonham was often praised for his ability to play aggressively and very quickly, but with great precision. In actual fact, it is said that in some renditions of this he would play so hard that the stick would break, and he's be forced to finish the solo with his hands.</div>

Those who are unacquainted with the delicate details of drums and drum kits such as cymbals may feel surprised about the differences among the different shapes and types of the cymbals. Besides sizes that can shift between basically CD estimated, and sufficiently enormous to be utilized as a shield, if you are included in sword-based battle, there are differences in material, development method. the rundown goes on. Often for the beginners, choosing the right drum kit specifically choosing Cymbal is so confusing that sometimes the confusion leads them to choose the wrong one.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Cymbals generally add flavoring and tonal shading to drumming. So carrying that much importance, Cymbals are worthy of some good research before buying the set for the people who are new to the arena. Here are some basic tips for choosing the best possible options for the beginners.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
There is no specific quick response for this specific area, but then again thinking about the budget and level of music you are targeting to practice should be the basic configuration. For example, Jazz drummers prefer different cymbal arrays, but hard rock bands do not prefer the types that Jazz bands do. The music quality, types and choice of music should be reconsidered when you are starting and buying a new Drum set for that particular music type. So if we think about right compliment of the Cymbals you use, you should have the perfect set of Drum set which you are comfortable with</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Sorting your choice out as a beginner is the hardest hurdle you have to pass. Best practice is to get started by checking the <a href="http://drummers-paradise.blogspot.com.au/2013/08/famous-drummers-and-their-drum-kits.html" target="_blank">setup of cymbals used by your favorite iconic Drummers</a>.

<br />
<h3>
<span style="color: #bf9000; font-size: x-large;">Types of Cymbal </span></h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Before starting and being a full-fledged drummer yourself, you should have an enriched idea about the types of Cymbals and other drum kits you are proceeding to buy. Types and placements of Cymbals like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ride_cymbal" target="_blank">Ride Cymbals</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hi-hat" target="_blank">Hi-Hat Cymbals</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crash_cymbal" target="_blank">Crash Cymbals</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splash_cymbal" target="_blank">Splash Cymbals</a>, China and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_cymbal" target="_blank">Effect Cymbals</a> etc. should be significantly studied by you before approaching to get a specific one.</div>

<span style="color: #bf9000; font-size: x-large;">Cost Vs. Quality </span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
By now you should be well known about the criteria that you should be looking for while choosing your drums set. But one thing you should be pretty careful of that whether you want the set to be budget or a quality one. You should be aware of that you just get what you are paying for when you are buying Cymbals. Premium Cymbals are made of costlier materials and need more hand work. The lower-priced cymbals can at present convey shockingly satisfactory sound but there are some tough </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
deals to be found among budget cymbals.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So if you are sure enough to explore your interest as a drummer and of course if you have gone through the basic tips at the same time checked the all possible criteria, this is the time to go for a quality, branded and best-suited drum set along with excellent quality cymbals.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

In Drummers Paradise, we offer the best quality cymbals available in Melbourne. <a href="http://www.drummersparadise.com.au/cymbals" target="_blank">Check out our massive collection of Cymbals</a> from some of the world’s leading Cymbals Brand.

Pearl, arguably the most recognisable brand name in drumming industry, was founded
in Tokyo just after the Second World War. The company started out as a
manufacturer of music stands - which seems like quite a specific niche industry
- but soon branched out. In 1950, 4-5 years after the founding of the company,
he started producing drums and by 1953 all manner of percussion instruments and
accessories including kits, cymbals, stands and timpani. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The rock n’ roll era
in the 1960s saw Pearl start selling and distributing products worldwide.</div>

Tama Drums also originates from Japan, and was originally marketed as ‘Star
Drums’. The products were manufactured in the same building as products of the
Ibanez brand were in the early days. From its founding in 1965 until the late
1970s, the brand found success in the US selling lower-cost drums that measured
up favourably compared to more expensive and arguably lower quality American brands
at the time. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From the 80s till today, the brand has focused on delivering quality
and distributes some of the most dependable drums available in the market.</div>

DW Drums has quite an interesting story, dating back to 1972 and coming out of
Santa Monica, California. Don Lombardi is the founder however he originally
started the company as a teaching studio - true to its name Drum Workshop was

overheads, management was forced into selling some equipment on the side. They
struck gold when they put together the height adjustable trap seat, which
allows for easier transportation of drums and cymbals. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the oldest musical instrument manufacturers, Gretsch started out as a
small shop in Brooklyn and was founded in 1883 by a German immigrant of the
same name. It was his son, Friedrich Jr. that took the company to greater
heights as he moved the shop to a large, 10-story building soon after he took
over. In the early 1900s, Gretsch became one of the most trusted names in
musical instruments and was producing everything from banjos and guitars to
drums and percussion instruments.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Until 1967, the company was run by the Gretsch family - at this time i was sold
to a larger music company called Baldwin. Unfortunately, the company faltered
over the years that followed and was eventually reacquired by Fred W. Getsch in
1985. Today, the company stands as one of the leaders in the guitars and drums.</div>

What can be said about <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Lombardo" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Dave Lombardo</a> other than total legend? How about the fact that pretty much nobody could drum at the speed that this guy does- but when you add in the precision needed to keep that Slayer beat is nothing but staggering. Dave is an aggressive player that takes both a precision and feedback from his kit to really feel the music, highlighting his passion and depth in his playing that has inspired thousands of people to pick up the sticks.<br />

May be a little less focused than the lead, but a drummer certainly is one of the most important pieces of the band. While the lead and vocalist are always the centre of attention, and no doubt the most recognisable when you think of a particular musical group, the drummer takes a back seat and quietly (or not so quietly) holds everything together.</div>

But this role is usually more difficult than it seems and crucial in just about any music genre. Drumming is classed into a number of different styles, and the way the drums are played depends greatly on the genre of music that is being played. Let’s take a look at some of the most popular styles and why it’s beneficial to be fluent in all of them.</div>

Jazz Drumming</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Playing drums in a jazz band takes arguably the most skill of any drumming style out there. It is characterised by the tendency of the drummer to mix up the beat and almost play off the beat in some respects, all the while keeping the rhythm and holding it all together. Swing-time and complex arrangements make jazz drumming one of the toughest drumming gigs going around.</div>

R&B Drumming</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
R&B and even funk drumming is much more relaxed and slower than other styles, with the main focus of the drumming being to keep the rhythm and groove. R&B is focused less on the fast paced, head banging style of modern genre, more on the music and the groove itself. Chris Columbo, Bernard Purdie, Nat Kendrick, Al Jackson Jr., Roger Hawkins, Earl Palmer, if one listens to these greats from the soul era, he will clearly see the difference between R&B and other drumming styles. This style has arguably the least variety of any of the others and can be frustrating at times for drummers who used to play rock or jazz, mainly due to the slower pace and decreased difficulty.</div>

Rock Drumming</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The influence of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_and_roll" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">rock n’ roll</a> is enormous and has genres of music within itself, so you can imagine that there are also a wide variety of drumming styles under this umbrella term. By and large, rock and punk employ a more aggressive, louder style with the drummer keeping the rhythm and adding in fills between beats. Heavy metal turns this up a notch and along with heavy guitar the drums are important characteristics of the genre.</div>

Latin Drumming</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Latin music is heavy on percussion and is known for utilising additional instruments to the conventional drum kit. Listen to this genre of music and you’re likely to hear everything from claves and bongo drums to cowbells and just about everything in between. In terms of the style, it borrows a lot from those already mentioned with energetic, complicated rhythms, meaning a talented drummer is generally required.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Like with all instruments, it’s a sign of true skill if you’re able to turn your hand to any drumming playing style. Practiing as many as possible will develop more skills on your part, so keep that in mind if you’re currently getting into the drums!

We all know that drum is one of the most energy-consuming instruments to play, with large arm and hand movements making up most of your technique, but many people don’t realise that drumming can actually help improve your health if used as part of a regular exercise regimen. Many people who are new to drumming will quickly feel tired with all of the work involved, but seasoned drummers know that keeping fit is key to boosting your stamina to keep going.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Drummers, more than any other musician need to keep healthy and exercise as part of their playing to minimise the risks of causing injury whilst playing. Many drummers suffer from the same kind of injuries such as wrist, elbow, and shoulder injuries that could not only ruin your day, but also your playing ability.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Drummers fitness and musicians fitness isn’t really talked about as a problem or an issue within the musicians circles, but it is a key aspect in any instrument playing that to stay fit and healthy will only benefit your playing in terms of having the perfect posture for playing, as well as having the perfect technique to give you stamina throughout playing.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Warming up and staying supple in your arms is key to improve your drumming stamina, and with a few simple exercises you can stay in shape and improve your stamina for longer periods of drumming time. Not warming up or not staying in shape can result in injuries, which can be avoided if you follow a few simple warm up exercise tips before you start playing.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the best ways to warm up is to move your arms and wrists in their full range of motion for few minutes to allow your muscles to warm up and be prepared for extended use whilst drumming. Standing toe touches are a great way to stretch the muscles in your arms, as well as keeping your back supple and ready to play.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Holding your drum sticks in your hands and turning your wrists also play an important role in making sure that your wrist muscles and hand tendons are nicely relaxed and aren’t too stiff before playing. If you feel any sharp pain then you should call it a day for now, and stop playing your drums if you continue to feel pain in your shoulder, elbows, wrists, and fingers.</div>

<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #f1c232;">Don’t Forget Your Lower Body!</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is also important to stretch your calf muscles in your lower legs if you are going to be using the bass drum and high-hats for extended periods of time. It is easy for a drummer to start playing from cold and get cramp in the lower leg muscles – something that can be avoided with a little warm-up!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Drumming itself can be a great tool for exercise on its own due to the muscles involved and the length of time in which you drum. Using your large muscles in their full range of movement is the best way to burn calories and work your heart and lungs for great cardio-vascular exercise. Your upper body uses more energy than your lower body, and so with a well-positioned back and posture, you could be doing great work for your body when drumming on a regular basis.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><br />Don’t Push Yourself, Know Your Limits!</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Drummers often push themselves when it comes to stamina, and whilst pushing the limit on how long you can comfortably play for has an argument that stamina is built using ever lengthy stretches of time playing, it is important to know when to stop. Over-doing it and playing for extended periods of time will only increase the damage you may be doing to your ligaments, tendons and muscles. So if you feel any twitches, cramps or pain, just pause playing and take some time before you make the situation worse.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Warm up gently and slowly work into your regular playing rhythm. Use the full motion of movement of your muscles when warming up and ensure that you are sat in a comfortable and upright position to give you the best purchase on your kit, as well as ensuring that you aren’t going to feel tired sooner. Take breaks every now and again to get a rest, and ensure that your playing technique isn’t hindered by pain or cramps that regular exercise will be able to eliminate over time to become a fit drummer, ready for anything!</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Bongo Bongos!</span></h3>
Percussion instruments such as the <a href="http://www.drummersparadise.com.au/percussion-catalog/bongos---latin-percussion" target="_blank">bongos</a> are the perfect idea for a beach party, due to their relaxing sounds which add to the groove of the type of music being played. Derived from Central Africa and the Congo, these soothing backing beat makers are both relaxing and dance-inducing when it comes to party atmospheres, and perform great with all kinds of traditional and modern music.<br />

<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;">Latin Conga Percussion Grooves</span></h3>
<a href="http://www.drummersparadise.com.au/percussion-catalog/congas---latin-percussion">Congas</a> are used in many forms of music, from west-African beat-driven songs, Latin American and Cuban music that also features many other percussion instruments to the music of the South Sea Islands such as Tonga, Polynesia and other ethnic groups.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For any South American themed party, the congas are an absolute must! They work great with all kinds of music and can even turn modern acoustic music into a special atmosphere with their additional rhythmic power.</div>

<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;">Relaxing Rhythm of the Djembes</span></h3>
Drums such as Djembes are the perfect accompaniment for African beat-themed music, as well as world music which makes a great theme for your beach party. For the best beach party, pounding dance music and modern rock music may be a little too much, so toning it down with a few instruments and some Djembes will add a personal touch to your music, and let the rhythm take your guests.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It is not uncommon that genius musicians started out performing on the street. Bruce Springsteen, Bono and Arcade Fire are some hugely influential artists that got it all started busking. Street drummers are a different breed - drumming is not something that can entertain easily as a solo act. But some of the artists below made a name for themselves doing just that!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This New York drummer is the quintessential street performer. Based in New York, Wright is known for being one of the first street performers to use buckets as drums, using what you might call a home-made drum kit.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This busker rose to fame decades ago and has appeared in documentaries, commercials and music videos throughout his career and still plays in various locations around New York. Most recently he appeared in the short film <a href="http://indieflix.com/indie-films/the-yellow-card-34675/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Yellow Card</a>, a documentary based on subway performers in New York City, where Larry Wright and his wife Sonia Wright are one of the main acts in the film as they play their music and are being interviewed.</span><br />

This Italian sensation is one of the most famous street drummers of modern times, having toured various cities through Europe including Amsterdam, Berlin and London and has appeared on numerous television programs. At only 12, he started an intense concert activity with some local bands mainly the Lost Angels, with whom he was interviewed during an episode of the radio programme Demo from Radio Rai, Italian National broadcaster. Being popular as a drummer, he is also a percussionist as well as a composer. Despite many busker-style performers coming from lowly beginnings, Rossi is a musician with technical training as well as street-cred. He teaches drums and rhythmic solfège in his own studio in Genzano and at the Arte Musica School in Frattocchie.

She rose to fames during her early 2000s and drummed alongside Love during her solo career. Time did fly quickly for Patty and after living in the fast lane for a year or two she met producer David Ebersole; who was fascinated when Schemel showed him those vintage home movies and backstage footage which was personally accounted by her. It helped David to make a biographical documentary called </span><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1796503/" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank">Hit So Hard</a><span style="font-family: inherit;">, which accounts Schemel's close association with Kurt Cobain, the ascent and fall of Hole, and the hard road confronted by ladies in the music business.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The drum is one of the oldest musical instruments in the
world, and is thought to be one of the first known percussive tools for
communication and music. During <a href="http://www.historyofdrums.net/drum-history/timeline-of-drums/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the evolution of the drum kit</a>, we have seen
hundreds and thousands of innovations and inventions that have turned a simple
beating of an animal hide into a precision art form that is quite literally the
beating heart of any musical band.</span></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Whilst the acoustic drum has been with us for hundreds of
years in its modern form, the drum kit itself is an ever evolving part of a
range of percussive instruments that have continued to encourage better
manufacturing techniques, brighter and more acoustically defined sounds, as
well as better prices and availability.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Some of the electronic drum kits have come onto the market
in recent years that have blown away their predecessors in terms of sound
authenticity as well as range of functions, but it wasn’t always that way. The
first electronic drum kit is thought to have been created by The Moody Blues
drummer, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graeme_Edge" target="_blank">Grahame Edge</a>, in collaboration with Sussex University.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The idea of the electronic drum kit was that the electronic
pads were hooked up to a synthesiser that recreated both drum sounds and other
sounds. The electronic pads were positioned similarly to a regular acoustic
drum kit and were used solely as a trigger mechanism to playback the
synthesised sounds.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;"><i style="font-weight: normal;">Innovation Built On Evolution</i></span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Modern electronic drum kits work in a similar fashion, but
there has been much innovation in getting to the modern-era kits. One of the
bigger innovations has been in the trigger pads themselves having a more
traditional feel to them thanks to the varying rubber and polymer surfaces,
allowing the drummer to get more feedback with each strike.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Whilst the move from transistors to integrated circuit
boards has meant that the synthesised sounds created by the large sound
generator units has all but disappeared, the size of the controller units have
shrunk and made it possible to produce tiny starter or beginner kits that are
contained in a single unit.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In the modern era, huge innovations have taken place to
produce some of the best sounding electronic drum kits available. The beginner
kits are often cheaply produced, never the less produce a decent sound, but the
professional grade electronic drum kits are manufactured and designed to create
sounds that are indistinguishable from a regular acoustic drum kit.</div>

Kits such as the <a href="http://au.yamaha.com/en/products/musical-instruments/drums/el-drums/drumsets/dtx900_series/dtx950k/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Yamaha DTX 950k</a> series electronic drum kit
offer studio grade modelled drum sounds as standard and offer a huge range of
variations and other sounds in a sounds library. This allows users to
effectively “tune” the kit to their specifications and perfect the sound to
replicate just about any popular acoustic kit on the market. Add these studio-quality drum sounds and modelling features
to the reduced size of an electronic drum kit compared to an acoustic kit, and
you can see why they have become so popular. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Whilst playing an e-kit, there is
a distinct noise coming from where the sticks strike the pads, but often these
are manufactured to be muted as much as possible, whilst still providing
effective feedback when playing. This offers the chance to play a full
modelled drum kit on an electronic kit with a pair of headphones, to reduce
noise in a domestic environment.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The on-board software of many of the intermediate range kits
is highly realistic and professional sounding compared to regular acoustic
kits, but with the professional electronic drum kits, this leads to a higher
ability. Thanks to the latest technology, newer kits have added functionality
with computers that allow you to use the latest recording software such as
Cubase and allow for an added library of sounds and drum modelling to be used
in a recording setting.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The first choice you have to make when purchasing a drum kit
is the type of kit you want and need for everyday playing. There are two main
types of kit available - acoustic kits or electric kits. Acoustic drum kits are
the traditional type of kit that contains snares, kick, and toms that use drum
skins and circular rims to make the sound.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The electronic drum kit has come a long way since its early
years and now provides drummers with an alternative kit that is lightweight and
small in size and with an amplified electronically produced sound that comes
with all manner of different effects and natural tones. Electronic kits are a
great choice for a beginner as they can be cheaper in some cases, and are also
perfect for a professional looking to gig with something reliable and modern.</div>

So <a href="https://drummersparadiseau.wordpress.com/2016/04/28/what-are-the-best-drum-kits-for-beginners/" target="_blank">you’ve bought your new drum kit</a>, scoured the world of

components of your kit and lay them out in front of you. This will be easier to
do if you have purchased <a href="http://www.drummersparadise.com.au/acoustic-drums" target="_blank">an all in one drum-kit that contains everything</a> you need,
but if you have bought separate parts, skins, cymbals and so forth, you may
wish to keep the items separate.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The majority of beginner kits come with a frame attachment
for mounting the toms onto the bass drum, so let’s start with the biggest item
of the kit. The bass drum is the main drum that brings together all of the
other components to create a solid base for the drums. In beginner kits, the
skins are usually already attached to the frame itself, so place the bass drum
on the floor and find the stabilisers that attach to the bottom.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The stabilisers stop the drum from rolling, so make sure
that they are firmly attached and are spread out enough to stop the bass drum
from rolling. You will find two slots on top of the bass drum that allow the
attachment of the two toms on top. Find the attachment rods and use the
included drum key in the kit to secure the two rods in a vertical position for
now.<br />

On the two toms, you will find attachment holes on the sides
so grab your first tom (the smaller one) and lower the hole onto the pole that
is attached to the bass drum. The smaller tom should be positioned on the left
side of the bass drum as you sit behind it. Use the drum key or thumb screw
(whichever your kits supports) to tighten up the drum onto the bass drum. When
it is secure, you can move onto the next tom and perform the same installation
method.</div>

The final attachment of your drum kit setup regarding the
bass drum is the foot pedal. This pedal usually comes in two pieces – the foot
pedal and the beater. These two pieces slot into each other and usually attach
with a spinning nut to secure them together. Lift the bass drum up slightly and
slide the bass drum foot pedal underneath it. Secure it to the bass drum with
the nuts on the foot pedal to make sure that the pedal doesn’t move around at
all.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Many beginner kits also include a floor tom that is a large
standing tom slightly smaller in size to the bass drum itself. This drum is
relatively easy to set up and usually comes already assembled. Simply find the
three legs and slot them into the slots on the bottom of the floor tom and
secure them with the thumb screws. Position this floor tom to the right of the
kit as you sit at it.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The snare drum has a few special features that separate it
from the other drums that need to be treated carefully. First of all the snare
has a tensioner system on the underside of the drum that gives this particular
drum its distinct sound. Open up the special snare tripod that has a triple arm
attachment at the top and place the snare on it. Then tighten the nuts
underneath so that the snare is secure, and move to a comfortable height for
your playing at the left hand side of the bass drum.<br />

<span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">Now On To the Cymbals</span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The cymbals in your drum kit usually come in separate boxes
for shipping purposes but are relatively simple to set up and get started. A
beginner’s kit usually consists of a high-hat system, and two larger cymbals
known as the ride and the crash. Each has a sturdy tripod stand, so let’s set those
up firstly.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The two larger tripods are used for the ride and the crash
cymbals, so fully extend both of the tripods and remove the thumb nut at the
top of each tripod and place the cymbals over the top of the vertical rods.
Ensure that the felt dampener is under the cymbal to get the best sound quality
and resonance.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Tighten the thumb screws over the top of the cymbals and
place the cymbal tripods behind the bass drum so that the ride cymbal comes in
over the kit between the snare and the first tom, and that the crash cymbal
reaches over the kit beside the second tom.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">High-Hat and Foot Pedal Setup</span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The high-hat is a little trickier to set-up, but should only
take a few minutes to do. Remove the vertical high hat rod from its tripod and
set the tripod up to stand freely. Place the bottom high-hat cymbal in place
over the rod and secure it to the bottom “tilter” section of the tripod facing
upward.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s3.lonestarpercussion.com/resize/images/Drum%20Workshop/Drum-Workshop-DWCP3500-full.jpg" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="High-Hat" border="0" height="398" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLx4luV08shGryJPOfkNxqr9w68KLz8ARUjFti8uVdreYDi8HOZ5-U1PCs6yt0JYipTy1X7lXD_DX0NISfxEBk6nSQcVBe8D9XxDFiE7T0xmnqfpEB0Rhyphenhyphen-xW8FQ_a1JEqfiC2718uBVE/s640/Drum-Workshop-DWCP3500-full.jpg" title="High-Hat" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Then insert the high-hat rod, making sure that the tilter
washers are in place and secure the higher cymbal to the rod between the felt
washers. Tighten down the thumb screw at the top and you are almost ready to
go.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Ensure that the foot pedal for the high-hat is of correct
length so that you have full freedom of movement in the pedal, whilst the high
hats do not completely close when the pedal is not pushed. Alter the tension in
the chain by moving the higher cymbal up and down the upper rod and securing it
tightly to allow the cymbals to close shut together when the pedal is pressed.</div>

The last part of this tutorial in how to set up a drum kit
for the first time is the drum stool itself. This is easily set up, usually by
pulling the legs out and sliding down a fastening thumb screw underneath the
seat. Secure the screw when you have found a comfortable seating height and
there you have it, You are now ready to start rocking your new drum kit!</div>

They say,<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Don't practice until you get it right, practice until you can't get it wrong." </i></blockquote>
<br />
Only practice and practice can get you where you want to reach. Many people new to drumming often find it difficult to keep
up with a particular backing track or song. Likewise many more advanced
drummers think that drumming is all about speed and how many beats you can hit
in a second. However control is the element professional drummers talk about.
When you combine speed and control with practice, you have a vast array of options when using
your kit to its fullest.<br />
<br />
To be faster with your kit, you need to concentrate on the following things.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="color: #f6b26b; font-size: x-large; font-weight: normal;">Understand the Movements and Grip</span></h3>
<div>
<span style="color: #f6b26b; font-size: x-large; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
One of the best ways to <a href="http://www.drummagazine.com/features/post/a-drummers-upper-body-workout" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">understand speed and drumming technique</a> is to start off slowly, using a single hand and begin to understandall of the movements and the muscle groups that your arm uses in making a
single stroke. Watching how your arms move and learning to control your
movements better will help you to be not only more accurate, but also faster in
your playing ability.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b; font-size: x-large; font-weight: normal;">
Use Hand Exercises and Control Techniques</span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
There are many different guides, books and tutorials around
that point you in the direction of hand exercises to increase your speed. But
while it is true that with exercises and other <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36Vk2qX4Mt4" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">hand and arm techniques</a> you can
increase your speed, you may find that accuracy is lacking somewhat.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdSGKl2PfasIV9A1r1HqAVqK83DHdFfqOBDJ2ZU5UeeKCZwrGlxD4tjTAHuWr87A6DiDWKB2PENksS1weodrE21dwQm52Z7WzSnDJY423mRqMp5huUsD79qsNAPzpWxz_SYAm2548vaHI/s1600/fetch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Hand Exercises" border="0" height="420" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdSGKl2PfasIV9A1r1HqAVqK83DHdFfqOBDJ2ZU5UeeKCZwrGlxD4tjTAHuWr87A6DiDWKB2PENksS1weodrE21dwQm52Z7WzSnDJY423mRqMp5huUsD79qsNAPzpWxz_SYAm2548vaHI/s640/fetch.jpg" title="Hand Exercises" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
The best way to go about increasing speed is by increasing
accuracy and control. Learning how to hit each drum in a controlled way, and in
a way that allows you to access the full range of strength of stroke on the
drum will allow you to increase your speed and not lose out on accuracy.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>

<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #f6b26b; font-size: x-large; font-weight: normal;">
Control and Accuracy is Everything</span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Speed it great for some kinds of music, but if you are
flailing away at your kit and missing drums and cymbals all the time, then the
speed is actually harming your technique. It is understandable that a drummer, by their <a href="http://drummers-paradise.blogspot.com.au/2013/10/the-personality-traits-of-drummer.html" target="_blank">default personal character trait</a>, is a sucker for speed and strength. But first you have to know how to control your tools. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
As with any other musical instrument, getting clean,
controlled hits of each note or drum is the best way to improve your overall
style and ability. Speed will come at a later date when you are confident of
each beat you make and each stroke you go for.<br />

Improve Your Endurance for Speed Playing</span></h3>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Another forgotten factor in the world of speed drumming that
is essential to learning is endurance. It may be all well and good to be able
to drum at the speed of light, but if you are tired after a single song, then
the rest of the show is going to be a big downer.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
This is where regular practice, control and good posture
come into the fore as part of increasing your overall skill level.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Regular practice is key to <a href="http://www.freedrumlessons.com/drum-lessons/burn-exercise.php" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">improving your endurance</a>, as well
as your ability to control your drumming. Many drummers set themselves goals
for how long to practice, but a better method is to choose a list of backing
tracks to drum to, that allow you to warm up, speed up, cruise, endure and warm
down again.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
There comes a time in every drummer’s career when they need to customise their kit with something special to give them a new sound that they can truly call their own. Choosing the components carefully you will be able to create your own style of music, your own sound and hopefully make the big time. Your choice of cymbal plays a huge role in determining your personal sound, but why do so many cymbals sound so different?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
There are four main types of cymbal alloys that make up the huge plethora of cymbals you see and hear today. Of these four main cymbal <a href="http://www.chem4kids.com/files/matter_mixture2.html" target="_blank">alloys</a>, certain manufacturing methods, along with the materials used to manufacture the cymbals make up the reason why they can often sound so different. Not taking the size of the cymbals into equation, they sound different because of their materials and structure.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Bell Bronze Cymbals</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAiIi5ctY9YGDDcb7MCPetfNMMXthxLCbgtWVT4PMZRZ2ch_vBKSB8ipCtC4rJGSuwfGkB1n-k7q7YXPeWqOBX7JjK0UFds2kokDGGgD0ixtS8MiCy6tp9eQXDhY-z9RFaQR26xNa-_0s/s1600/21-A-Zildjian-Mega-Bell-Ride.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Bell Bronze Cymbals" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAiIi5ctY9YGDDcb7MCPetfNMMXthxLCbgtWVT4PMZRZ2ch_vBKSB8ipCtC4rJGSuwfGkB1n-k7q7YXPeWqOBX7JjK0UFds2kokDGGgD0ixtS8MiCy6tp9eQXDhY-z9RFaQR26xNa-_0s/s1600/21-A-Zildjian-Mega-Bell-Ride.png" height="426" title="Bell Bronze Cymbals" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
These types of cymbals, which are also commonly called <a href="http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/59686/bell-metal" target="_blank">bell metal</a>, are used in the majority of orchestras and large kits due to their wide dynamic range when compared to other types of cymbal. Manufactured mainly from one part tin to two parts copper, these cymbals are known to be harder than many other cymbals and are often hand-made, as the hardening effect of the alloys means that they can be troublesome to produce using mechanised equipment.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Malleable Bronze Cymbals</span></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This type of alloy used in a cymbal is often 8% that can be rolled into sheets easily unlike the other types of cymbal alloys. This cold rolling process makes them an easier cymbal to manufacture, meaning that this alloy in particular is the most commonly used in cheaper kits, as the metals and alloys are more commonly available in many different grades of thickness and sizes.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Brass Alloy Cymbals</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1Pvld2jjgf08OkBNnTbkyY28O8lr-d2o9rF_CuwOGCzzdywpSZAAlCVTsh_UE3ZMhKvJw0ipvUGyB2MDNBgMqLmv6AA6FFv1Ie3cYyBM3dO38wc0KawLMQz-g0XTLApVBiMD6MkORgvs/s1600/51N2dDw4gPL.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Brass alloy Cymbals" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1Pvld2jjgf08OkBNnTbkyY28O8lr-d2o9rF_CuwOGCzzdywpSZAAlCVTsh_UE3ZMhKvJw0ipvUGyB2MDNBgMqLmv6AA6FFv1Ie3cYyBM3dO38wc0KawLMQz-g0XTLApVBiMD6MkORgvs/s1600/51N2dDw4gPL.jpg" height="429" title="Brass alloy Cymbals" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Brass cymbals are often many people’s first cymbals. Being cheaper to manufacture, they are often used in toy kits and similar budget range kits that aren’t used by the professionals. Nearly all china-type cymbals and gongs are produced using brass, making them an inferior product. The typical makeup of these cymbals is usually 38% brass into copper, meaning the metals are readily available and easily manufactured, hence the cheaper price.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Nickel Silver Cymbals</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1fZjCh8bKR03H2GOC-EcisgFFmet8nZWgau_v5Av13iSc7KcsXvBXqLQpIyPTrLBwCJ45wpg95HRWPYzWcEJ-r4ECUKmWRntPMEx0dhskN63lDNmTubQb2lMXrIBYoJ4roAdPmgAzqSw/s1600/Sabian-EG1059.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Nickel Silver Cymbals" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1fZjCh8bKR03H2GOC-EcisgFFmet8nZWgau_v5Av13iSc7KcsXvBXqLQpIyPTrLBwCJ45wpg95HRWPYzWcEJ-r4ECUKmWRntPMEx0dhskN63lDNmTubQb2lMXrIBYoJ4roAdPmgAzqSw/s1600/Sabian-EG1059.jpg" height="417" title="Nickel Silver Cymbals" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel_silver" target="_blank">Nickel Silver</a> cymbals are manufactured from an alloy of nickel and copper, with around 12% of nickel in copper used to make these cymbals cheaper to manufacture. Again used in beginner’s kits, many nickel silver cymbals can create a decent tone and have special effects that may fit in with your particular style of music. Many professionals overlook these “beginner” cymbals and opt for the higher end bell bronzes.<br />
<br />
It is often a difficult task to find the right mix of cymbal alloy, price and tone to suit your playing style and your budget. Finding out that you diverted spending a large sum of money on a cheaper alloy cymbal might put you in the right direction when it comes to using your budget wisely. Otherwise, choose a cymbal that performs the best and has the tone you love, that way you can continue doing what you love and sound better than ever!<br />

This musically gifted drummer rates high amongst fellow drummers for his rhythm style at keeping a beat. His work in his time with Rush has been lauded for his perfect timing and his extravagant solos that can last as much as ten minutes in live versions. Whilst Rush may be an overrated band in many people’s eyes these days, there is no question about Neil’s gifted talents behind the music.</div>

In a recent <a href="http://www.aux.tv/2014/05/drummers-brains-different/" target="_blank">Swedish study conducted on drummers</a> and their abilities to keep a beat, new findings have emerged to show that drummers may no longer be the butt of band jokes. The study revealed that drummers’ brains have an innate ability to see patterns and shapes that allowed the researches to conclude that drummers are on the whole, highly intelligent beings after all.<br />
<br />
The study looked at the ways drummers could keep a constant beat whilst being asked questions relating to an intelligence test. The test comprised of over 60 questions and quizzed musicians on a number of cognitive tests designed to test the entire brain.<br />
<br />
The drummers were asked to keep a steady beat throughout the quizzing which was aimed to test if outside factors could influence the timing of the drummers or their ability to think cognitively whilst performing a task. The study found a big correlation between the quiz results as well as the ability to keep time during the tests.</div>

Pattern Spotting and Drum Fills</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
For those drummers who did well on the intelligence test, and answered the most questions right, they were able to keep the best timing when it came to their drumming ability. Those who kept poor timing did less well. The study concluded that the drummers’ ability to keep a beat was being driven by a part of the brain that associated patterns and shapes and allowed them to concentrate on the questions.<br />
<br />
It is often the case that some people feel as though they are on autopilot when performing tasks that they regularly perform, and with no need to truly think about what they are doing. Most of us take for granted the ability to move our arms or legs, but think for a second what it would be like to have to think about moving each muscle to move just one leg.</div>

<br />
This autopilot mode in drumming is controlled in the part of the brain that also recognises shapes and patterns. This gives us, and more specifically drummers, the ability for their brain to take over the majority of the work when it comes to coordination between fills and concentrate on enjoying the music.<br />
<br />
This ability to be able to quickly see patterns, adjust and employ a level of sophisticated creativeness to their drumming means drummers have the ability to apply this in other aspects of their lives. Drummers can therefore be great learners, take on tasks and understand them quicker as well as leaving their brain do all the manual work while they can enjoy themselves at the back of the stage.</div>

No Longer the Butt of Jokes</h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Drumming is an essentially learned-skill that takes years to become accomplished and even more to master. This is probably why many drummers feel they are unfairly treated when it comes to jokes about the band.</div>

<br />
But the evidence couldn’t be any clearer; drummers are drastically different from the rest of us, and have an innate ability to be able to keep time and could be the smartest member of the band. No longer being the butt of jokes within the band, it won’t be long before everyone turns to the bassist to blame the timing on.</div>

So you got your shiny new drum kit delivered and you’re ready to start playing like Keith Moon? Well after the initial moment of wondering how you put this thing together, why not take the time to learn about what each part does, how it works and how best to set it up.<br />
<br />
Your standard drum kit usually comes in 5 or 6 pieces. Each of these parts plays an essential role in learning how to play the drums, but also in finding a playing style that fits the music you are in to, as well as allowing you to play in comfort and enjoyment. Each kit should contain instructions on how to assemble the kit, so after you are ready to go, why not take some time to look at each piece and to learn what job it does.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Let’s look at a standard 6-piece drum kit and get to know it a bit more closely.</span></div>

The snare is one of the two main pieces of the kit that allows you to create the beats that will give your band the cues they need to play their music. You are the backbone of the band: don’t let them tell you otherwise! The snare is usually played on the backbeat, and is used as a sort of secondary rhythm tool. It is a simple skin over a wooden shell that will be your main tool in creating rhythm for your music.<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These double cymbals are fitted to a pedal which allows you to create a number of different sounds during your drum play. Usually played in eighth patterns as well as sixteenths, this piece of equipment is the key to giving timing to both yourself as well as your other band mates. Create rolling patterns, open crashes and closed muted sounds with the high-hats’ to give colour to any basic pattern.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Zildjian are one of the most popular brands of cymbal manufacturers out there, so if you want to sound like a pro, why not choose a kit that comes with them pre-installed. You can always upgrade your existing kit with Zildjian cymbals to make sure you are sounding the best you can.<br />

The bass drum is where the meat of your drumming comes from, as is an important rhythmic timing method for your bass player. Keeping a tight bass drum action will allow you to flow into different rolls and patterns easily, and give your sound a fuller tone is used in a back-beat style. The bass drum is nothing without the snare and vice versa.<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The ride cymbals are used in the same style as the high-hats’ to create a rhythmic cue to the music to keep the tempo up and on time. It is usually the largest cymbal in a kit and is known to have a sustained sound that is used in both eighths and sixteenths timing patterns in many instances and genres of music.<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Toms are the supplementary sisters of the bass drum and cousins of the snare. They provide a different tone than the snare due to not having the snare wire underneath the bottom skin. They sound deeper with an almost mellow tone to them and allow the drummer to create a mix of rolls, fills and ride patterns in various different styles to complete verses and phrases during a song.<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The crash cymbal is a very loud sounding cymbal that is used to accent drum rolls and fills to finish the end of a phrase in a song. They intensify a drum roll or a fill by providing a full-stop to a drumming pattern and allow the drummer to reset or change pattern mid-song without losing where they are. Zildjian offer a range of crash cymbals that are tailor made to your musical style.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once you know what these different drums sound like, you will get a clue as to how to use them. You only have to listen to your favourite songs to be able to hear each of these drums being played in various different styles. Try finding a pattern that suits your playing style and finish them off with a simple fill or a roll and you will be drumming like the best of them in no time at all.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
For both beginners and intermediate drummers wanting to
upgrade, <a href="http://drummers-paradise.blogspot.com.au/2015/08/Complete-Drum-Kit-Buying-Guide-for-The-Next-Great-Drummer.html">choosing the right drum kit</a> is important. With Tama drums or Pearl
kits, not only will you be able to fully customise your drums individually with
a wider range of options available, you will also be able to upgrade each
individual part as you further progress your drumming level.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Pearl drum kits have become synonymous with high quality
percussion drums for the past 60 years. The brand and has found its way to
become one of the biggest drum company in the world. This Japanese company has
pioneered many innovations in the industry such as wood and fiberglass shells,
as well as the introduction of “Phenolic” shells combined with roto-toms to
create vari-pitch drums. Pearl continues to invent and innovate today.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Pearl Kits, steeped in history</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Pearl drums have a long illustrious line of kits to choose
from, such as beginner kits through to professional stage percussion
instruments. In between these we have a range of shells, skins, cases, stands
and pedals for any drummer to create their own kit.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
As with any professional level musical instruments, your
budget will come in handy in giving you an idea of what you can afford.
Creating your own pro Pearl drum kit may come in handy as buying the base level
five-piece and later upgrading your heads and pedals make more economic sense.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The Export EXX Range</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

number 1 selling drum kit in the world and benefits from all of the features

It’s no surprise so many professional drummers are using these kits.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Tama drums</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<b>Choose your configuration</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Creating your first pro kit is simple with either Pearl or
Tama drums, offering you a huge range of options, finishes as well as
configuration for your main purchase. When buying, think about what you may
upgrade to in the future, and how easy it will be for your kit to accommodate
it. Don’t forget to listen to each kit you wish to purchase to ensure it has
the tone that suits your music or style best.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Choosing a pro kit from one of the two most popular drum kit
manufacturers in the world is simple. Choose a range that best suits your
playing style, ensure that you have the right configuration to make your
playing easy, and pick the hardware options that suit your music best. Upgrade
your kit at a later date to incorporate different tone heads and skins, play
around with configurations and you will soon be in drumming heaven with your
new pro kit.</div>

In the world of drums nothing says more about who you are
more than the kit you play. Whether it is a classical jazz that you are into
that may require the absolute minimum of equipment, or play world music that
requires many different implementations of percussive additions, learning about
the types of cymbals at your disposal will bring more out of your playing that
you might think.</div>

There are several types of cymbal that make up the average
kit, and whilst many drummers only tend to use the basic setup of crash, ride
and a pair of hi-hats. These cymbals can be interchanged with varying types of
similar cymbals to derive a different sound when struck. Additional cymbals can
be assembled to a standard kit to provide different tones, accents and pitches
when playing.</div>

Additional cymbals called effects cymbals are used to
enhance playing by introducing different tones. In most extended kits, the
addition of splash cymbals provide a distinct sound and most cymbal
manufacturers provide extension packs containing both a splash and a china
cymbal to add to an extended kit.</div>

Other additional cymbals are called accent cymbals, which
provide a distinctive sound that differs from the traditional groove or pattern
usually played on a regular kit cymbal. Many accent cymbals are made up of the
huge variety of china, splash and crash cymbals that differ from manufacturer
to manufacturer.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As with any musical instrument, getting the best sound that you can possibly achieve is one of the key attributes in defining your own style. Whilst the distinctive tone and pitch of your instrument can be attributed to the way you play it, which is especially evident with drum playing, making sure that you tune your kit will also allow further control of the sound, and more so help to eliminate annoying buzzing, ringing and unwanted resonance.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Preparation is important to ensuring good tuning of your drum kit, and by putting aside enough time before you attempt to tune your kit will come in handy, especially if you have an upcoming gig or recording. Whilst it may seem daunting to undertake, tuning your kit can be a relatively simple process that once you’ve tuned one drum, you can perform the same technique to the remainder of your kit. As most drum tuning occurs when replacing the drum heads, your drum key tool is required to unscrew the tension screws to remove the head.</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #274e13; font-size: x-large;">Clean and Prepare the Shells</span></h3>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuOBZknMERwScdxL6B2gLS-yuMLZbBzRvSkeGI_VeknQOUsNqZmPFD7SyXPKYKYjrrzo_OlfcY0_-IZRM2voUHfj8BKGXG17anBIPlJUQivBwuC9gxZASqftPUP65u2k6DUXgwkvBii4M/s1600/Untitled.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuOBZknMERwScdxL6B2gLS-yuMLZbBzRvSkeGI_VeknQOUsNqZmPFD7SyXPKYKYjrrzo_OlfcY0_-IZRM2voUHfj8BKGXG17anBIPlJUQivBwuC9gxZASqftPUP65u2k6DUXgwkvBii4M/s320/Untitled.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is important before you seat the new drum heads on their respective shells, make sure to wipe down and clean the drum rim and the head of debris and dust. Place the drum head into position and place the rim over the top of the fresh drum head. Once this is done you can start to tighten the tension rods by hand to ensure they are hand tight and even for now. Screwing the rods in with the drum key tool at this point is not necessary, as hand tightening is all that is required to ensure the heads are neatly positioned.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: left;">Tightening of the drum head comes next, and whilst you may want to tighten the head by tightening in a circular motion around the drum, you should ensure that you gradually tighten opposing tension rods to achieve an even balance across the drum head. Tighten the tension rods a few turns at a time with your drum key tool and repeat the process until the tension appears balanced, secure and a tight fit. Once you have achieved a secure and tight fit of the drum head, strike the drum with your drum stick to hear the progress.</span></div>
<br />

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #274e13; font-size: x-large;">Fine Tuning Your Drum Kit</span></h3>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNMWsbtGKUbS76-V_iDJFvjycwnPcmtHhLgtKtB5kJlZLA1LV054FXV76tosOWH9-EFidLWFO5bOS2_8cLYMd4qzBlBIe7ez86gW4jlBn2Y-59VEDHgsPZwQ2SoaJ2vNRZ8RyK9-OjuMQ/s1600/shutterstock_268651067.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNMWsbtGKUbS76-V_iDJFvjycwnPcmtHhLgtKtB5kJlZLA1LV054FXV76tosOWH9-EFidLWFO5bOS2_8cLYMd4qzBlBIe7ez86gW4jlBn2Y-59VEDHgsPZwQ2SoaJ2vNRZ8RyK9-OjuMQ/s320/shutterstock_268651067.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
By striking the drum head near the tension rods, you can make sure that the sound of the drum is balanced across the surface of the head. If you hear any inconsistencies in the pitch of the sound, tighten and loosen the tension rods accordingly to raise and lower the pitch around the tension rod until the drum makes a balanced sound. Repeat the process with the remaining drums in your kit to achieve tuning.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The sound of a drum kit is a personal preference, but when tuning your kit you should ensure that each drum creates a clear resonant tone and that the pitch of the toms deliver a series of sounds that complement the kit overall. An important aspect fine tuning is the relationship between the top and bottom drum heads. The top drum head controls the ring and attack of the sound, whilst the bottom drum head relays the timbre, the overtones, resonance and sustain of the overall sound.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once you have achieved a pleasant sounding kit, you will be able to fine tune further to complement the style of music you play and accompany. This fine tuning will help promote your particular style of drumming and help you further to understand the subtle nature of drum tuning. With regular cleaning and fine tuning, you can get the best sound out of your kit and breed new life into an older kit that you may have neglected.</div>

The earliest recorded appearance of a percussion drum used
as an instrument is thought to have appeared around 6000 BC. These early drums
took a cylindrical form and due to their shape offered a distinctive sound when
hit with sticks. It is thought that these drums were used as percussive musical
instruments to accompany various ceremonies, religious uses and rituals. Later
on, some of the first skinned drums appeared in China around 5500-2400 BC,
using alligator skin as a membrane and were used in shaman rituals and
ceremonies in the region.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Not do they have obvious musical and rhythmic qualities,
drums have been used for communication by many different cultures to send
messages over long distances. The African talking drum, which came in various
shapes and sizes, could convey a message to a nearby tribe and even declare war
and boost the morale of the troops. </div>

<br />
In Western cultures, once the use of goathide skinned drums became more popular, marching bands were enlisted to not
only help keep the marching pace of an army in line, but also to convey
messages during decidedly loud battles.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
The majority of percussive instruments were played
separately by individual musicians, and whilst this meant louder music in
marching bands, it was not ideal for music in theatres and orchestras. It is in
this era that the modern drum kit that we see today came into fruition. Around
1900, percussion musicians began combining drums and cymbals into an
arrangement to be played with specialist drum sticks.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Foot pedals became popular later on with the introduction of
the kick drum being played with the feet with the formation of the Ludwig & Ludwig Co.’s bass drum pedal system. This freed up the hands of the drummer to
surround the large floor bass drum with other smaller drums to form the basis
of the modern drum kit. With an evolution of musical styles and tastes that followed
through the 50s, 60s and 70s and the musical revolution that proceeded, the
electronic drum kit was a natural progression.<br />

full electronic kits. With musical tastes ever changing and musicians being

change in form and sound, but the rich history of this percussive instrument in
particular will stand the test of time, as the backbone of all music past and

whatever reason, certain people and personality types are drawn to certain
instruments. Not to generalise, but it’s fair to say that we think of
guitarists, vocalists, bassists, keyboardists and drummers in a certain way -
whether the clichés are accurate or not. In this article, we take a look at
some of the characteristics that are associated with a quintessential
drummer. Or a certain persona comes up in my mind when we think of one.<br />

So what are these basic characteristics of a drummer? Let's find out!<br />

Most
often, these fine gifted and talented musicians go unnoticed in bands,
which is really a shame. Throughout the history of rock and roll, we’ve often
seen drummers singled out and the first member of a band to be replaced when
something goes wrong. Most of the times he is the one to be blamed for everything that went wrong.<br />
<br />
All the other members are going out, the quite 'unpopular' one in the band might be left behind. Have a press-conference, the drummer guy just keeps shut the whole time and sits in a corner. Be that as it may, the modern drummer’s character has
emerged through rock evolution to become a unique individual.<br />

It
takes true dedication towards the instrument to become a drummer. Knowing that
they will fill a position that more often than not will take them out off the
limelight that many singers and lead guitarists will find while reaching
popularity, a drummer may over-compensate with a ridiculous amount of drums and
a canny knack for adding as many drum fills to a song as possible. Because
they are out of the spotlight, some drummers will do whatever it takes to get
their talent noticed!</div>

He keeps the band sane when other band mates try to kill each other. He is the referee in these arguments and with his natural ability to keep a good rhythm, can offer steady calming measures to keep the band on track. While setting behind the drum kits a drummer practically leads the band from the front not just by keeping the tempo right and collaborating with the bassist, he actually keep the tempo right off stage also. For example since the formation of the band <a href="http://steffi-bow.tumblr.com/post/143158873117/lars-ulrich-the-pioneer-of-thrash-drumming" target="_blank">Lars Ulrich</a> has been keeping his hold strong on Metallica.</div>

Being the band member that exerts the most physical movement, it is often the case that you will find the ‘technician’ drummer fully decked out in wristbands, headbands, and the ubiquitous towel over the shoulder as well as the easy-grip gloves he actually needs to wear. With custom long hair, black tee and jeans this breed of drummer may look like a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tour_de_France" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tour de France</a> contestant, but will do the job perfectly keeping the tempo right no matter what.</div>
