Now you see them. Soon you won't--not with lots of serious JEM collectors and very few of these limited edition reissues of Steve Vai's JEM77FP signature model. The 2003 Fifteenth Anniversary Floral Pattern JEM has the same features as the 1988 original--including the actual floral pattern cloth used to make the drapes in Steve Vai's studio--plus the new Edge Pro tremolo. Includes extra back plate signed by Steve Vai.
AXS32DRF |
Ibanez adds new set-in neck models to its line of AX guitars. Along with the increased sustain and easier upper fret access afforded by a mahogany set-in neck (standard AX's feature bolt-on maple neck), the new AXS32 models sport a special hair-line pickguard for an appearance that's an interesting combination of high tech and retro.
Sustain is also increased by thru-body stringing which also results in more consistent string-to-string feel as the string holes are staggered to compensate for different string tensions.
New BTB300 Features Starndard 34" Neck Scale
BRB300BGWNF |
The Ibanez BTB Series was originally designed to offer bassists the select woods, passive pickujps and high tech hardware and active EQ's of the small "boutique" shops--but at production bass prices. They were also designed as a thicker neck alternative than the company's narrow necked Soundgear basses.
However, not everyone was comfortable with the extra long 35" neck scale, one of the signature features of the BTB line. In response to Ibanez retailer requests for a standard scale version, the new BTB300 features the 34" neck scale of most basses--and at $649.99, it's also the least expensive member of the BTB line up.
The BTB300 does come equipped with many of the other signature BTB features such as Neutrik locking jacks and the Mono-Rail II bridge which features isolated saddles. The body is made of mahogany for warmth and sustain to which a bubinga top is added for tonal balance.
S1620FBNT |
Ibanez has expanded the number of high-end Ibanez Prestige models. Prestige guitar and bass are made in Japan by Ibanez's most experienced luthiers using sophisticated guitar making technology. Each instrument features extra steps of finishing to give the comfortable feel of necks broken and rounded by years of dedicated playing. In addition, Prestige models also feature many deluxe and high tech electronics and appointments.
For 2003, Ibanez Prestige electric guitars featuring double-locking tremolo systems are now equipped with the new Edge-Pro (on Prestige RG models) and ZR tremolos (on S models).
The RG1550 (the new Prestige version of the classic RG550) features the Edge-Pro, the lowest profile tremolo Ibanez has ever made.
The S1650 is equipped with the ZR (Zero Resistance) tremolo, which uses roller bearings for super smooth action and superior return to pitch.
SRX400MO |
"For players for whom simple and powerful aren't simple and powerful enough, there's the new Ibanez SRX400 bass," goes the claim of the Ibanez 2003 catalog. The new SRX400 is a member of the Soundgear Xtreme family which was designed for players who want a loud, simple to operate axe. However, the SRX400 reduces matters even further to the basics. The SRX400 features only one pickup, a "ridiculously loud" Passive Full Range Alnico 4N, and just two controls, one of which is an Active Phat II Booster.
Says Ritchie Umemura of the Ibanez Bass division: "I think we've got everything now for players who want a narrow necked bass with active electronics. For players who want sophistication and absolute tonal control, there are our regular pro Soundgears. For players who want uncomplicated and powerful, we have the original Soundgear Xtreme basses. And for players who want simple and brutal, there's the new SRX400."
Ibanez guitars are normally known for their sleek, futuristic looks but the latest Ibanez offering looks some of the guitars the company put out in the early to mid-60's--something you might found hanging in an old pawnshop. Which is exactly the vibe the new Jet King models are supposed to give. Originally developed under the code name "Pawnshop Project," the Jet King models were designed in the retro spirit of the new "Garage Rockers."
"The Jet Kings are a number of guitars we're introducing in 2003 that represent a new territory for us," remarked Shogo Hayashi of Ibanez. "They have the cool low tech look and simplicity of the old guitars, but they still have coil taps and quieter operation of modern axes. Also there's a brushed metal pickguard that has the right look for the guitar, but you probably wouldn't have found on a lot of the old axes." In keeping with their mid-60's look, the Jet Kings feature the old Ibanez "spaghetti" logo that was used on Ibanez electric guitars and basses from the 60's until the very early 80's.

The company had to completely reinvent itself a very different focus, with more innovative, more focused and more upscale products.
At the Chicago NAMM Show in 1987, Ibanez held its collective breath and showed off its colorful new wares: the Steve Vai JEM guitars, the slim S, the Soundgear bass, and the RG550, a made-for-metal machine with a super-thin neck. Perhaps no other guitar personifies shred and metal styles than the RG550, and the guitar was a significant player in the turnaround of the fortunes of Ibanez.
At the 2007 NAMM Show at Anaheim, Ibanez celebrated the success of the 1987 RG550 and its descendents with three limited edition 20th Anniversary RG550XX's. The guitars are adorned with the original 1987 finishes, Road Flare Red, Desert Sun Yellow, and, of course, a basic Black model, which features a rosewood fretboard instead of maple.
More importantly, the guitars are all equipped the original Edge tremolo, the original spec super-thin, flat Wizard necks and the original tilt-plate neck joint. The necks have been made even stronger than the originals with 5pc maple/bubinga construction. One small difference between the 1987 originals and the 2007 Anniversary models is a special 20th Anniversary control cavity plate.

Equalizers boost or cut specific frequencies in a signal. The most common equalizers are tone controls. They tailor your sound to suit your music. Bass and treble knobs control a lowpass shelving filter and a highpass shelving filter. Lowpass and highpass filters remove a portion of the sound spectrum. But shelving filters just pump up or reduce one portion while leaving the rest alone.There are also 'mid' controls found on 3-band equalizers. This 'mid' is sometimes called a peaking or bandpass filter.
Graphic equalizers provide more flexibility and control than tone controls, and they're easy to use. A graphic equalizer is a set of filters that allow you to control the amount of boost or cut in each frequency band. Controlled with sliders, the frequency response of the equalizer resembles the positions of the sliders, that's why it's called a 'graphic' equalizer.
A graphic equalizer uses a set of bandpass filters that are designed to completely isolate certain frequency bands. Each filter in the graphic equalizer has the same input. Their job is to only allow a small band of frequencies through.
Graphic EQ's are great for sound reinforcement and 'tuning' rooms. With a graphic equalizer that covers most of the audio spectrum, you can adjust your EQ so that you have a consistent sound at every venue.
For instruments, stomp-box equalizers are great for delivering a both a volume boost and changing tone for solo excursions.
Parametric equalizers give you the most flexibility, but are a bit more difficult to use. Unlike graphic EQ, that only lets you set the amount of boost and cut, parametric EQ allows you to also set the center frequency and the bandwidth. With practice, you can apply some boost to make a guitar cut through the mix, or to get a big, full sound.
Parametric EQs can eliminate feedback by using a lot of cut (also called a notch filter) positioned right at the frequency that is feeding back. You might be able to control the feedback with a graphic EQ, but if its bands are wide, you'll be cutting more of the sounds than you wanted. Parametric lets you fine-tune the cut, so you don't lose the good stuff.
Many amplifiers have 'presence' knob that boosts the mid to high frequencies. This control is supposed to make your instrument sound like it is actually in the room on recordings. It also helps an instrument slice through a muddy mix.||||||||||||||||0||||||||||||||||||||||||0||~~minimum-quantity~~1~~need-ship~~1~~|^^|aconacbo1||item.||page.||banmetbook||https://sep.yimg.com/ca/I/chrisbsmusicinc_2270_17421816||||||Accent on Achievement, Book 1 Clarinet||00-17084||schoolbanin inren banmetbook||School Band Instruments > School Band Instruments > Band Method Books > ||6.950||6.950 ||||||||||||1||1||1||0||||||||Accent on Achievement, Book 1 Clarinet

I have found that tuning my guitar low to high E F# B E B E (this covers two octaves) provides me not only with a unique sound but I can improvise on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th strings and learn songs that I could not learn using the conventional tuning. You may want to capo up a couple of frets to make it sound more natural.
I've been plagued with a problem with my 12 string guitar for many years that even a very experienced luthier couldn't help me with. Because of the inherent design of most acoustic 12 string guitars, there is only one piece of bone for the saddle so on the bass string, 11th (lowest 'E'), the intonation is very poor, usually sharp. The repair was to bevel the saddle back to help but it didn't work very well. The only way to properly correct this was a very costly one which would probably void the lifetime warranty of the guitar. Replacing the bridge and saddle was not an option for me so I had to correct the problem without cutting or drilling anything. What I did was lay a short cylindrical object behind the saddle (something hard like bone or metal) to increase the effective length of the string. The diameter of this object has to be large enough so the string will not touch the saddle anymore. After this, I adjusted the intonation almost perfectly by gradually filing away at one side of the cylinder and retrying it until the height just cleared the top of the saddle.
For anyone who notices that your strings wear out prematurely because maybe you have sweaty hands or if you just want your strings to last longer, I've noticed that washing and drying my hands thoroughly before playing really lengthens the life of my strings.
Tablature has 6 staffs, 1 for each string on the guitar. Each staff should either have a dash or a number on it. If there is a dash, you play nothing on that string. If there is a number, you should play the corresponding fret number. To the right is an example of a 'G' chord, 'C' chord, and an 'Am' chord. Notice the 'G' chord. The 3 on the top should be played on the HIGH-E string. The 3 on the bottom should be played on the LOW-E string. Because all 6 listed are stacked on top of each other, they should all be played at once. The same thing applies to the 'C' and 'Am' chords. Notice the dashes on the LOW-E string. That means you don't play this string.

This is how the strings are represented in tablature, the thickest string (low E) is the bottom line of the six line staff.
1st string - High E -- 2nd string B -- 3rd string G -- 4th string D -- 5th string A -- 6th string - Low E --
Think of each vertical line as notes that are played together, for example...
----- ----- ----- ----- --3-- This is the third fret on the fifth string. -----
----- ----- --0-- This is the 3rd string played open. ----- ----- -----
--15-- --15-- 1st string, 15th fret, 2nd string, 15th fret, ------- played together. ------- ------- -------
So on your fretboard the frets are numbered as so...
-----------+ head- \\|\\ 1st 2nd 3rd etc. stock E +-----+-----+-----+ B \\|\\-----\\|\\-----\\|\\-----\\|\\ G \\|\\-----\\|\\-----\\|\\-----\\|\\ D \\|\\-----\\|\\-----\\|\\-----\\|\\ A \\|\\-----\\|\\-----\\|\\-----\\|\\ E +-----+-----+-----+(low E) \\|\\ -----------+
I will show you for each chord of your sample song exactly what to do...
************** * 1ST CHORD * **************
Now consider your index finger = finger #1 middle finger = finger #2 ring finger = finger #3 pinky finger = finger #4
I will mark with X's on the fretboard where to put your fingers and the number of the finger I recommend you use next to the X
E----- B----- G--6-- D--7-- A--7-- E--5--
1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th E +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+----- B \\|\\-----\\|\\-----\\|\\-----\\|\\-----\\|\\-----\\|\\-----\\|\\-----\\|\\----- G \\|\\-----\\|\\-----\\|\\-----\\|\\-----\\|\\-----\\|\\--X2-\\|\\-----\\|\\----- D \\|\\-----\\|\\-----\\|\\-----\\|\\-----\\|\\-----\\|\\-----\\|\\--X4-\\|\\----- A \\|\\-----\\|\\-----\\|\\-----\\|\\-----\\|\\-----\\|\\-----\\|\\--X3-\\|\\----- E +-----+-----+-----+-----+--X1-+-----+-----+-----(low E)
Once your fingers are in these positions, play it all in one strum, being careful not to strum the 1st and 2nd strings.
************* * 2ND CHORD * *************

Now, this is very difficult to play. the [ ] brackets around a note mean that the note is optional and only adds to the fullness of the sound. Since in this case it is extremely difficult to play this note , we will ignore it. There are other ways of playing this than the finger positions I gave you, feel free to try it another way if this is too hard. In chords like this, it's ok for some of the notes to sound muted, you'll just have to experiment and see what works for you. Be careful not to play the 1st string unless you choose to play the bracketed note.
************* * 3RD CHORD * *************

In this chord, bar the 2nd fret with your index finger (lay it across all the strings and push down hard). Then put your 3rd and 4th fingers as shown. This sort of chord may seem hard at first but with practice will be very easy to play. Be careful not to strum the 1st string.
************* * 4TH CHORD * *************

Use your index finger to bar the 2nd fret, put your other fingers where shown, play the 6th string open, and be careful not to strum the 1st string.

Note: You don't have to use these fingers for this chord but it will make the transtition to the next chord a little easier. Place your fingers where shown and be careful not to strum the 1st and 2nd strings. Since the 6th string is shown to be muted, you can either not play the 6th string, or rest your thumb on the string without pushing down to create the desired muted sound.

This is the exact same hand position as the first chord of the sample, only now it starts on the 3rd fret indtead of the 5th.
************* * 8TH CHORD * *************

The easiest way I feel to play this is to bar the 2nd fret with the index finger, and put the other finger where shown. You can do it differently if more comfortable. Play the 6th string open and be careful not to strum the 1st and 2nd strings.
This should help you get started, and remember this takes alot of practice to do good, especially at changing between chords smoothly so keep working at it if it seems to hard because it will get easier.
Remove some but not all of the tension from the strings, clean & polish the guitar, and then put a little lemon oil on the fret board. Put the guitar in its case and store it where it won't get too warm, cold, or humid and won't get bumped around. A good place is an interior closet.
When changing guitar strings, it is best to change them one at a time starting with the thickest. This keeps the tension on the instrument and you will have less trouble getting it in tune because the guitar doesn't have to stabilize again.||||bagpipes, childrens guitars, acoustic guitars, banjos, mandolins, dobros, acoustic instruments, chanters, practice chanters, highland pipes, half sized guitars, acoustic dreadnaught, takamine, aria||||||||||||0||||||||||||||||||||||||0||~~minimum-quantity~~1~~need-ship~~1~~|^^|actravguit||item.||page.||acin||||||||Acoustic Travel Guitars||||acin||Acoustic Instruments > ||||||||Travel guitars, Backpacker, Speedster...||||||||0||1||0||0||||||||

The Antonio Hermosa AH-10 classical guitar.
When the classical guitar came to its own in Spain, great composers from Sor to Llobet relied on guitars that could perform their beautiful compositions with great resonance and comfortable playability.
The Antonio Hermosa AH-10 follows the traditional design of these early models to bring players the same quality and craftsmanship that appealed to Spain's 19th century composers. The solid cedar top makes for a highly resonant classical guitar. Early classical builders chose cedar for its reputation as a warm, clean tonewood that continues to improve as the guitar ages.
The AH-10 is built with mahogany back, sides, and neck, and assembled with a true traditional Spanish neck joint. The select tonewoods are finished with 3-ply top purfling, maple binding, and gold-plated tuners. This is a great-sounding, carefully crafted performance model that has become the first choice for players throughout the world.||||||||||||||||0||||||||||||||||||||||||0||~~minimum-quantity~~1~~need-ship~~1~~|^^|anheahflgu||item.||page.||anheclgu||https://sep.yimg.com/ay/chrisbsmusicinc/antonio-hermosa-ah-15-flamenco-guitar-5.gif||||||Antonio Hermosa AH-15 Flamenco Guitar||AH-15||acin anheclgu||Acoustic Instruments > Antonio Hermosa Classical Guitars > ||179.990||259.990 ||179.990 ||||||||||0||1||1||0||||||||Antonio Hermosa Flamenco guitars are both percussive and capable of projecting clearly over the nailed shoes of the flamenco dancers.

Dean Rusty Cooley Usa 7-String Xenocide Electric Guitar Graphic
Guitar Player, October '98
Ever since the guitar evolved into its present form two centuries ago, it has had six strings. Not five, not eight -- six. Six is a nice, round number, just right for many of the symmetrical quirks of the guitar, such as the instrument's three bass/three treble string arrangement and three-tuners-per-side headstock. The symmetry is further emphasized by the fact that, on a standard 6-string, the guitar's two outside strings are usually tuned to the same pitch (two octaves apart), acting as musical bookends.
So, everyone's happy, right? Apparently not. For almost as long as the guitar has been in existence, adventurous players and composers have been endeavoring to extend the range of the instrument by tweaking its tuning -- often slacking the guitar's low E down to D or C, and sometimes even as low as B or A. Extended tunings offer players new possibilities, such as lower bass lines, wider-voiced chords, and farther-reaching melodic leaps.
That still wasn't enough to float everybody's boat. So someone -- lots of folks, actually -- had the bright idea to add another string to the seemingly perfect guitar. But why? What is gained by adding a seventh string? Is anything lost? And why do most players who play 7-string guitars augment the traditional 6-string scheme by adding an extra low string and not a high string? To get the lowdown, so to speak, we questioned three very different 7-string players -- rock god Steve Vai, Brian "Head" Welch of the band Korn, and jazz guitarist Howard Alden -- on just what makes seven strings better than six.
Steve Vai
"There was a period about 10 years ago," says Steve Vai, "when I was studying metaphysics and numerology, and I got very interested in the number 7. I'm not sure if that was the main impetus behind putting a seventh string on my guitar, but it definitely had some influence. I was also considering what I could do with the guitar to give it a different dimension without making it too inaccessible." Vai's epiphany was to develop a 7-string guitar based on the JEM guitar he helped design for Ibanez. Vai went to Ibanez with his 7-string concept, and they embraced it immediately.
Whether Vai's muse was mystical or pragmatic, it's no stretch to say that he was responsible for putting the 7-string guitar on the map -- at least in the rock realm. "I wasn't the first guy," he demurs. "In the jazz world, there was George Van Eps and Lenny Breau, and Uli Jon Roth had a 7-string before me. But I didn't know about their guitars when I got the idea for mine."
Vai's original concept was that the additional string could be either a high string or a low string. But he never found a gauge that would work for a high string. "Every time I tried to tune a string up to high A," he says, "the string would break. Ultimately, I settled on using a low seventh string." Vai favors a fairly typical 7-string tuning, extending the guitar's standard 6-string tuning down one more fourth to a low B. (That's B, E, A, D, G, B, E, low to high.) Vai uses a .052 for his low B, and strings the rest of his guitar either .009-.042 or .010-.046, depending on how much playing he's doing. "When I'm in the studio producing, recording, and doing all sorts of different things, I use .009s to show my fingers some mercy. When I'm gigging a lot, I'll use the .010s."
Vai got his first 7-string, a prototype, while he was working with Whitesnake, and played that guitar on most of Whitesnake's 1989 album, Slip of the Tongue. He suggested a few subtle changes -- the original neck was a little too chunky, for example -- and the prototype was soon honed into the Ibanez Universe 7-string.
Although Vai's transition to 7-string was fairly easy -- after all, he's a monster player who happens to have unusually long fingers -- he maintains that anyone can figure out the additional string. "It feels very natural," he says. "It doesn't feel like you're playing a regular guitar with an extra string. It feels like a 7-string guitar. After a few hours of playing the 7-string, your fingers develop a mind of their own around it. It's not as complex as you might think.
"And there's a lot more to work with when you have that seventh string. You can do things that you simply cannot do on a conventional guitar. If you're a jazz player, for example, you can play walking bass lines, chord structures, and melodies all in one pop. It's great for a jazz duo, where you're backing up a sax player or singer. If you're into classical music, you can play counterpoint on a 7-string that's impossible on a standard guitar. And it's the perfect guitar for a heavy rock band, because you've got all that low end. Crank that baby up, and when you hit the low notes, it'll make the hair on the back of your neck stand up."
Of course, all that extra low end can make recording the 7-string a little tricky. "It's best to try to get a tight sound," Vai advises. "The best way to do that is place the mics as close as possible to the amp. But it's not as simple as taking a big amplifier, turning it up really loud, and putting up a bunch of mics. You've got to be particularly careful with phase cancellation if you use a lot of different mics. If any of the mics are out of phase at all, the first thing you'll lose is all that rich bottom end, which defeats the whole purpose of playing 7-string in the first place.
"Once you've got the 7-string on tape, and you're at the mixing stage, you've got to remember to be generous to the bass player. To make a full spectrum of frequencies work, you have to delegate certain bandwidths to certain instruments. If you put too much emphasis on the bottom end of the guitar, you're going to have low-end mush going through your whole track, because the bass and guitar frequencies will be smashing together. We're not talking about brain surgery here, but it does require a little extra care and handling. Otherwise, the guitar may sound like some kind of testosterone-fueled demon, while the bass sounds like a little anemic yellowjacket trying to find its hive. That might seem like a fun idea, but it may kill the song. And that bass player's not going to be excited about working with you again."
In the past couple of years, Vai has gone back to using the 6-string as his main ax, but says that he'll be playing more 7-string in the near future. "There was a period in the early '90s when I very rarely played 6-string. But a few years ago, while I was putting a new record together, I started listening to some demos of music I had written before I got the 7-string. Working on that music, I gradually evolved back into playing 6-string. I've continued to use the 7-string for some things, however, and on my next record I'll probably use it more or less exclusively."
Brian "Head" Welch
After the shred wave crested in the early '90s, it seemed that Steve Vai's progeny -- a horde of young players wielding rainbow-swirled 6- and 7-string Ibanez guitars -- were losing interest in the acrobatic guitar that epitomized late-'80s rock. As the post-Vai generation abandoned the ideal of guitar virtuosity, they became obsessed with sounding heavy -- very heavy. Many achieved this heaviness by tuning their guitars down a whole-step or more.
That hunger for bowel-waggling chunk is what brought the 7-string back from the near-dead. Laws of physics dictate that there's only so low you can detune a low E string before it starts to sound floppy. But try a .060 tuned down to B or A, and you're ready for some serious rumble.
One of the heaviest of this new breed of bands is Korn. With not one but two 7-string players -- plus a 5-string bassist -- Korn's bottom line is way, way low. Guitarist Brian "Head" Welch, one of the band's guitarists, says that even with a low seventh string, which he tunes to A, the band didn't feel they were getting enough low end, so he and fellow Korn guitarist James "Munky" Shaffer went a step further. "We were one of the first bands to get really into the 7-string," says Welch. "After a while, we noticed that more people were playing 7-strings, so we thought, 'Let's go lower!' So my seventh string is tuned to A, and the rest is like a regular guitar, but a whole- step lower [D, G, C, F, A, D, low to high]." Welch uses a .060 for his bottom string, and the other six strings are from a standard Dean Markley Light Top/Heavy Bottom set (.010-.052).
Welch says he first became interested in the 7-string after jamming with Shaffer. "Munky had a 7-string and it sounded so heavy, I knew I had to get one," he says. Shaffer owned two at the time, and let Welch use his spare. Within a month, Welch decided to buy an Ibanez Universe of his own.
According to Welch, getting used to the 7-string was deceptively simple: "As far as figuring out where to go on the neck, it was really natural. I didn't have to think about it too much. I just looked at it, understood it, and that was it."
But that wasn't really "it." The confident Welch was in for a surprise. "I actually thought I had mastered the 7-string after one week of sitting at home practicing," he says, "and I figured, cool, I can play it now. But then I went to a Korn rehearsal, put a strap on my guitar, and stood up. It was totally different. My whole week of practicing sitting down was for nothing. I couldn't play anything standing up, because I had to reach around much more. The neck felt really fat, and I just wasn't used to it."
That's how Welch's style of playing bent over originated. "I had to do that at first so I could reach the chords," he reveals. "After another month of practicing, I got it all down and I didn't have to play bent way over like that anymore, but that posture became a habit."
In the studio and onstage, Korn works out its music to ensure the two 7-stringers don't step on each other and muck up the groove. "Everyone has a say," Welch says proudly. "Usually we're going for the fattest tone, and we do whatever it takes for each song. If it's not right, we change it."
On Korn's new album, Follow the Leader, Welch and Shaffer used a variety of high-wattage Mesa/ Boogie and Bogner amps, and a 100-watt Rivera Bonehead head that Welch paired with a 4x12 Rivera cabinet. The Bonehead has a separate sub-woofer output, which Welch used to feed a specially designed Rivera 2x12 Los Lobottom cabinet driven by a 320-watt Rivera TBR-5 power amp. The Rivera rig offers a bottomless cup of thump, and that's exactly what Welch was after.
For the new album, Welch used a trunkful of effects, including a Big Muff fuzzbox, a Small Stone phaser, an array of Boss pedals, and the ubiquitous DigiTech Whammy pedal -- which the guitarist used to extend the range of his 7-string guitar even further. "We didn't use the Whammy pedal for pitch bending," he explains, "but as a harmonizer. Sometimes I'd pitch my guitar up an octave and play something on the high strings. You can't tell it's a Whammy pedal, and it doesn't even sound like a guitar. It sounds more like a harp. On one song, "All in the Family," me and Munky pitched our guitars down an octave. When you hear our low As an octave lower, it sounds so heavy, it's sick!"
Howard Alden
"I first heard a George Van Eps record when I was about 13," jazz guitarist Howard Alden recalls. "A friend was turning me on to many of the classic jazz guitarists -- such as Barney Kessel, Django Reinhardt, Charlie Christian, and Tal Farlow -- and one of the albums he played for me was Mellow Guitar [out of print] by Van Eps, on which he played 7-string. Naturally, I marveled at the sound. I had never heard anything like it." Van Eps' unique 7-string "lap piano" style stuck in Alden's head, and he spent a lot of time trying to learn the guitarist's complex fingerstyle guitar pieces.
Despite his fascination with Van Eps, Alden never seriously considered taking up the 7-string until he was in his mid '30s. "I shied away from trying it for years," he says. "First of all, 7-string guitars weren't all that available in the '70s when I was coming up as a player. Also, I had tried a friend's 7-string when I was 19, and it felt rather unwieldy and uncomfortable. I figured it wasn't for me."
About seven years ago, Alden started to become more interested in the idea of playing a 7-string guitar, primarily because of his desire to attain the wide range and harmonic independence enjoyed by pianists. "There were things I wanted to play on the guitar -- particularly pieces by pianists such as Thelonious Monk and Duke Ellington -- that required an extended bass range to get the right sounds and voicings," he says. "I even experimented with lower tunings, such as dropped-D, for a while, but alternate tunings didn't work for me. I didn't like having to rethink my fingerings. That's when I started considering the 7-string more seriously, because it gives you an extended range and lets you stay in one tuning all the time.
"But what really pushed me over the edge was finally meeting and playing with George. Watching him in person, seeing what he was able to do right there in front of my eyes, that's what finally made me move to 7-string."
Alden and Van Eps got together at the suggestion of Concord Records head Carl Jefferson, who, knowing what a huge fan Alden was, suggested that he call Van Eps and ask him to make a duet record. "I was dumbstruck," Alden says. "It never would have occurred to me to simply call George Van Eps and ask him to record with me. But I did, and he said yes. We hit it off immediately, and the record -- 13 Strings -- came out great. We recorded another one a few months later, and then we did a short tour of England. We've recorded two more times since then."
Around the same time, Alden met guitar builder Bob Benedetto. Alden was familiar with Benedetto's fine archtops, and commissioned him to build a 7-string guitar. "Bucky Pizzarelli lent me one of his 7-string guitars to practice on while mine was being built," he says. "And it was a huge help to get a head start, and to be able to slowly acclimate myself to seven strings."
Alden took delivery of his Benedetto 7-string just as he was about to embark on a three-week-long tour. "I thought, 'Well, I guess I'll take my old 6-string,' because I didn't want to be traveling every day with this beautiful new guitar and end up breaking it," Alden recounts. "But Bob said, 'Take the 7-string. You should be playing it, not hiding it under your bed. If it breaks, I'll fix it.' So I took it with me and performed with it. For a week or so, I couldn't find my fourth string, because you look down and you see what looks like a sea of strings. There were a few times when I was called upon to play a solo guitar piece, and I'd have to very carefully count the strings to find where I was supposed to put my fingers. That made me get it together really quickly. It was a great on-the-job learning experience."
Alden tunes his seventh string to A, which he says is standard for players of the Van Eps school. "Most jazz players -- such as Van Eps, Jimmy Bruno, and Ron Escheté -- prefer an A, rather than a low B, because it's just like having another fifth string. All your voicings line up the same way; you just have a wider gap. I'm sure there are lots of other possibilities, but this makes sense to me. It's the tuning George uses, and it works for all us guys." Again following Van Eps' lead, Alden uses a .080 for his seventh string. The rest of his strings are a standard medium jazz set, gauged .013-.056.
Alden is currently working on a solo 7-string record. "It will be mostly electric," he says, "but there will also be some acoustic pieces as well, played on an acoustic archtop that Benedetto built for me. Now that I've been playing the 7-string for six years, I think I can make a record that will be a good representation of all of the things I can play on it."

Interested in making the switch from six strings to seven, but worried about getting lost? In the Dec. '90 GP, 7-string fingerstyle master George Van Eps explained that when he stepped up his string count 61 years ago, the trick that got him over the hump was to visualize the 7-string as three tunings in one: The high six (standard guitar tuning), the low six (strange, but easier when you follow Van Eps' advice, below), and the fully integrated 7-string tuning (a wild, but tameable, animal). --AL "You can do what I did in 1937, when I was working on the design of the 7-string guitar that Epiphone was building for me: Get hold of an extra guitar and restring it as the low six strings of a 7-string. Eliminate the high E string and move everything up one notch, so the B string is on top, followed by G, D, A, and low E. Then put a heavy-gauge string on the bottom. You can use whatever gauge you like. I use a .080 and tune it to A. Get as familiar as you can with that tuning. Don't panic -- there are no strange notes. The bottom string is just another A string, tuned an octave lower than your standard fifth string. Start by playing anything you normally play where you use the fifth string in standard tuning, and move it over to the bottom string. That puts you down in the bowels of the bass range. "There are basically three tunings to think about with the 7-string: strings 6 through 1 are in standard tuning (E, A, D, G, B, E, low to high) and strings 7 through 2 are in the secondary tuning (A, E, A, D, G, B). You'll find that things which lay in terrible positions and require long reaches on a 6-string will lay right under your fingers in the secondary tuning, which frees up your left-hand fingers to provide moving voices. The third tuning is all seven strings integrated (A, E, A, D, G, B, E). If you have any ears at all, and are willing to get calluses on your fingers and your behind, you'll learn how to put them all together." |

The Ibanez Artcore goes upscale with the addition of the Artcore Deluxe AF85VLS. The AF85 full hollow body features flame maple top, back, sides and pickguard as well as pearl and abalone fretboard inlays. "We're taking the Artcore uptown," commented Shogo Hayashi of the Ibanez Electric Guitar Division in Bensalem, PA. "But not too uptown--at $569.99, we're still at a very affordable price point for full and semi-acoustic guitars, especially for one with these deluxe appointments."
At the 2002 Summer NAMM show, Ibanez introduced full and semi-acoustic guitars with list prices of just $399.99 for non-trem models and $459.99 for trem models. "The introduction of the Artcore guitars" commented Hayashi, "was easily one of the most successful series launches in our history. Up till that point, if you wanted a good full or semi-acoustic, with very few exceptions, you had to put out serious money. With Artcore, young players can get the tonal advantages of a good full or semi-acoustic at a price they can afford.
In addition to the introduction of the Artcore Deluxe AF85VLS, two of the original Artcores get dressed up in new finishes, the AS73 semi-acoustic in Transparent Cherry and the TM71 Talman semi in basic Black.

Remove the tartan bag cover (if fitted). Take off the chanter, GRIPPING IT BY THE BOSS (the end with the hemp whipping). Remove the blow-pipe and drones.
2. SEASONING for the full-size bagpipes. This process seals the bag before use. Plug all the stocks with corks, except the blowpipe. If you don't have corks, use rags or damp newspaper. Then remove the blowpipe and pour the seasoning in. Put the blowpipe back in, blow it up a bit and work the seasoning in, especially in the seams. When fully seasoned, drain all seasoning out. Hang bag up and let drain. Wipe excess from stocks.
3. Replace the bag in its cover. The blow stick is fitted with a leather flap-valve which may be tied down with yellow hemp. Cut the hemp so it can open. On some s the flap is made of synthetic film which needs no attention.
4. Fit the blow pipe, emble the drones and fit them in the stocks. The tuning slides don't go in the stocks, they point upwards.
5. Fit the cords & tassels over the drones so as to hold them about 15 cm. (6 inches) apart, or half this in a miniature set. The rubber rings provided for this purpose may perish after a year or two. Replace them with stitching.
6. Remove the chanter and fit its reed firmly. Occasionally the hole may be a little too narrow. You can enlarge it slightly with a twist drill. If the fit is too loose, whip the reed with hemp (see sketch).
7. Fit one of the smaller drone reeds into one of the tenor drones. Put the reed in your mouth with the reed tongue free to move. Blow. If the reed doesn't sound, bend it away from the body of the reed and hold it for a bit until it stays slightly open. But it's brittle, so be careful. Some pipers use a head hair jammed at the fixed end of the tongue. When the drone plays properly, replace it in its stock.
8. Repeat this procedure with the other tenor drone.
9. Repeat for the bass drone, which sounds one octave below the tenor drones.
10. Put the bag under your left elbow and the drones over your left shoulder. Support the bag with your left hand but don't squeeze it. Blow into the mouthpiece to inflate the bag under zero pressure whilst covering the top holes (front and back) of the chanter with your left hand. Now thump the bag whilst continuing to blow.
12. When the chanter plays, some drones may also play. Silence them meanwhile by touching the hole at the top with your finger. Adjust the tuning slide till the drone plays in unison with the chanter (but an octave lower in pitch).
13. Tune the second tenor drone to the first one, then repeat for the bass drone.
14. Learners may have difficulty keeping all four reeds playing. If you have this problem, silence one of the tenor drones. If necessary, silence the bass drone too.
15. Wood swells with moisture, so allow your pipes to dry after use to avoid splitting.

This column is on basic guitar accompaniment. The goal of this lesson will be to give the beginner the skills needed to play many common guitar accompaniment parts, and to give the intermediate player some valuable review.
Listed below are the five open major chords normally learned first by students. On the diagrams, the vertical lines represent the strings of the guitar, the horizontal lines represent the frets, and the dots represent where to place your fingers. A "0" written above a string indicates that this string is to be played open. If a string isn't fingered, and doesn't have a "0" above it, don't sound it at all.
Begin by forming a chord. Be sure your fingers are on their tips so that you allow adjacent strings to ring clearly. then, with your picking hand, play the strings one at a time, making sure each string sounds clearly. If a string doesn't sound, or is "buzzing," re-adjust your fingers and try again. The two most common reasons a string won't sound clear are (1) you're not pressing hard enough, or (2) a finger on an adjacent string is touching the unclear string, and deadening it or causing it to buzz. One useful tip: when possible, place the fretting finger right next to the higher fret. This will allow you to use less strength to depress the string. After you're sure each string sounds clear individually, strum all the strings of the chord together.
Once you can play each chord cleanly you'll want to work on changing chords. This is one of the biggest challenges for the beginning guitarist. As this series progresses, we'll work on several techniques and drills to help you with chord changing. To start, though, it's best to just jump in and have a go at it. Listed below are five pairings of chords. Practice switching repeatedly between the chords in each pair. Don't worry too much about speed at this point; your main focus should be that each new chord sound clean.
To finish up, these five chords you've just learned are an important part of a good foundation for any guitar player. In many styles of music, they will be used on a daily basis. In other styles, mastery of them will give you much better chance of success with the chords you will later learn. Do your very best to memorize them, be able to play each one cleanly, and to make a good start in being able to switch between them. Best of luck.
How to make adjustments to your truss rod, nut, and saddle
By Harry Fleishman
Any useful discussion of acoustic guitar setup should include a close look at the truss rod, the nut, and the saddle. Each of these parts contributes significantly to the way your guitar plays, and each can develop its own set of problems. You can make many of the adjustments I'll describe yourself if you're careful and use a little common sense. If you have a serious problem with your guitar, however, you should not hesitate to take it to a reputable luthier.
The action, or string height above the fretboard, is one of the first things to check when your guitar isn't playing quite right. Many musicians mistakenly use the truss rod to adjust the action; they tighten it, thinking that by arching the neck back they will lower the strings toward the fingerboard. A tightened truss rod will lower the action, but it often leads to a neck that buzzes severely. The misguided home repair guy then starts filing away at his frets until the neck is a basket case.
The truss rod's job is to straighten the neck and compensate for the upward pull of the strings. It should not be used to adjust the action of the neck. If the action is too high at the nut, it is the nut that needs adjustment. If the action is too high in the middle and upper positions, it is usually the saddle that needs to be lowered. Let's take a look at the truss rod first. Once it is properly adjusted, we can move on to the nut and the saddle.
THE TRUSS ROD
Adjusting the neck using the truss rod is a delicate operation. If it is necessary to tighten your truss rod, I recommend setting aside plenty of time to do it. When I build a guitar for a musician, I custom-design the neck to meet his or her playing style and to accommodate a variety of string gauges. Changing to a heavier string may require a slight tightening of the rod. A lighter string may need a little backing off of the rod. Occasionally a small adjustment can be made, and the guitar will be ready to play immediately. Often, however, the neck will need time to get used to its new position.
Most factory guitars, including Taylors, newer Martins, and Guilds, use truss rods that are tightened with a clockwise turn. That is, rotating the rod clockwise brings the strings closer to the fretboard. Occasionally with double-action rods (rods that adjust in both directions), a clockwise turn may actually raise the strings. If the neck has not been damaged by heat or a long-neglected warp, a little rotation should cause the desired effect. If your neck is badly warped, get professional help.
On many guitars, the truss rod can be accessed via the headstock. For others (including the guitars I build), you need to reach into the soundhole. When the rod access is inside the soundhole, special care, and probably special tools, may be needed. Take a deep breath, count to ten, and if you're sure you want to do your own adjustment, go for it. I like to make neck adjustments with the strings under normal tension; it lets me see the real effect on the neck. I assume that most of you do not have a fully equipped shop with guitar-holding fixtures. Therefore, I suggest asking a friend to help by holding the guitar steady. First, mark the rod's nut with a felt pen so you can return it to its starting point. Then, slightly loosen the rod and see that it turns freely. If it is bound or frozen, do not try to adjust it further unless you have a great deal of experience or a deep-seated wish to break the rod and replace the neck. If it moves smoothly, put a bit of lubricant on the threads and work it in around the nut. I use a toothpick or a bit of old guitar string for this job. Then put the truss rod nut back to where it was when you started, using the mark you made as a reference.

The truss rod is either accessed via the soundhole (left) or the headstock (right). All drawings by Harry Fleishman.
Now is a good time to ask your friend to hold the guitar and press down gently on the nut, making the truss rod's work easier. Gently give the truss rod about a one-quarter turn. Now fret the guitar at the first and last frets and use the string as a straight-edge to see if the neck is getting flatter. The rod's effect is usually most apparent between the fifth and seventh frets. I like to see a little light between the string and the fret in the middle of the neck. If it looks right, wait a few minutes and recheck. If it seems to need more tightening, be very careful. If your rod is working correctly, you shouldn't have to crank it hard to get good results.
Tightening the truss rod compensates for the upward pull of the strings, and loosening it allows the neck to bow.
If you are getting areas of buzz in an otherwise well-adjusted neck, you may need a fret job. Fretwork is a very fussy job, demanding accuracy to less than a thousandth of an inch. It also requires specialized tools. Contact a reputable luthier to do your fretwork.
THE NUT
Often, guitarists adjust their truss rods when what really needs work is either the nut or the bridge. If the first few frets feel stiff and hard to play, the nut probably needs work. A nut that is not cut deeply enough will make chords in the first few positions difficult to play. A nut that is too deep will buzz like a sitar. If the strings are hard to tune, again the nut may be to blame. Although it can be tricky to make a nut play well, if you are careful and take your time, you can probably improve the playability of your nut. You will need a few unusual tools for this job, so unless you want to make a small investment, go to a luthier.
Very fine, small files allow you to make the grooves for the strings with great precision. It is the careful fitting of these grooves that makes the nut play well and sound clean. Nut files come in many sizes to match the diameters of guitar strings. You don't need all of them. You can make each file do the duty of many by rocking the file slightly as you work. Pay special attention to the shape of the groove. The object is to end up with a groove that neither binds the string nor causes it to buzz. If you file too deeply, you can fill in the groove with a little superglue and start over. Be careful, wear eye protection, and don't overdo it. Place one tiny drop in the groove and sprinkle a bit of baking soda over it as the glue sets. This will harden into a very good simulation of bone, letting you regroove the nut as if you had not messed up. Only you and I will know. Gently file until a scrap of paper from the Yellow Pages will slip in between the first fret and the string when fretted at the second fret.
If your nut is the right height, you should be able to fret the second fret and just fit a scrap of paper from the Yellow Pages between the first fret and the string.
Even a well-fitted nut can bind and mess up your ability to tune. One evening I received a phone call from Scott Bennett, who had been touring the world and recording for 20 years on a guitar I made him. He was backstage at the Boulder Theater waiting to go on, and the D string on his guitar was binding and making a little squeaking noise whenever he tuned it. You've probably had the same problem. I immediately drove across town to fix his nut. After a moment's diagnosis I took out a no. 2 pencil and put a little graphite under each string in the groove of his nut. The problem was solved. If you don't overdo it, you'll find that a bit of graphite (pencil lead isn't really lead, you know) can work wonders to stop strings from binding.
THE SADDLE
If your action still feels wrong and the neck has been properly adjusted, it is time to look at the saddle. Lowering the action may require removing a bit of material from the saddle. Raising it may mean a new saddle or a shim under your existing saddle. If some strings are fine and others are too high or low, you should consider recontouring the top of your saddle. Otherwise, it is simpler and safer to make adjustments to the bottom.To raise the action, I recommend using a new, properly fitted saddle, preferably made of bone—although many new synthetics are available. It is not always practical to have a new saddle made or to make one yourself. If you can't get one, I suggest shimming what you have. Hardwood veneers are a good choice and readily available. Veneers are commonly .032-inch thick. They can be sanded if you need a thinner shim or stacked to achieve a taller one. At least half of the saddle should be within the bridge slot or it may tip forward or even break the leading edge of the bridge. Be extra careful if you have an under-saddle pickup. Changing your saddle could affect the string-to-string balance.
If you need to lower the height of your saddle, sandpaper attached to a flat surface works well. Simply slide the saddle back and forth across the abrasive, being careful to keep the bottom of the saddle flat. It helps to mark with a pencil how much material you wish to remove and then sand to that mark.
Setting up your own guitar can be very satisfying. You will be most successful if you work when you are not in a hurry and if you take extra care at each step. Good luck.

Model 201 Short Symphony Bore Bassoon
Fox Products Model 201 Short Symphony Bore Bassoon
ntroduced in 1968, the short bore model of instruments features a tone quality that is more "open" than the long bore. It is voiced to permit the performer to open up and "sing" in solo register, and its tone quality lends itself to solo performance. It was designed and developed under the supervision of Alan Fox in conjunction with prominent bassoonists in major symphony orchestras. Like all Fox bassoons, it features freedom of response, intonation, tonal quality, and projection that will satisfy the requirements of the most discriminating performers.
Body Tiger Striped European Mountain Maple, all wood naturally aged in our own facilities. Natural rubber linings in the wing and small bore of the boot joint. Choice of German (white ring) or French bell (metal ring).
Finish Naturally cured varnish in light mahogany or ebony to enhance the reflections of the maple. Silver plated keys and trim.
Mechanism Nickel silver key parts, hinges, and machined parts. Full German system with high D and E keys. Right hand whisper key lock. Rollers on F, A(flat), E(flat), D(flat). Metal tubes extending into the bore in the finger holes of the wing and boot joints to prevent water from entering the tone holes. All spring posts are locked with screws.
Intonation Each Bassoon is tuned individually to a modified just scale, with ample flexibility to accommodate the most demanding requirements. (The design is very flexible and may be used as high as A-443.)
Bocals Numbers 2 and 3, CTX Bore. (Choice of any 2, option of lengths 0 through 4.)
Model 51 Renard Short Reach Bassoon
Fox Products Model 51 Renard Short Reach Bassoon
Originally introduced in 1965, the Renard Model 51 bassoon's long bore design can be identified by its very warm "round" tone, with even balance and excellent intonation throughout the entire range. Like the Model 41, this instrument has a durable body and secure acoustical design. In addition, this model features a compact key mechanism that makes it a popular choice for middle school music programs, those starting on bassoon at a young age, and beginning players with smaller hands.
Body Polypropylene, molded with critical dimensions machine finished. Body lock.
Mechanism Nickel silver keys with nickel plating. Metal tubes extending into the bore in the finger holes of the wing joint to prevent water from entering the tone holes. All posts set in epoxy and spring posts are locked with screws.
Wing No high D octave key. Plateau key covers the D hole to reduce finger stretch.
Boot No C(sharp) trill key. No thumb G(sharp). No Bb trill key. Keys have been moved closer together to eliminate wide stretches. Rollers on F and A(flat) keys.
Bass E(flat) and D(flat) located closer to other keys for shorter reach. Rollers on E(flat) and D(flat) keys.
Intonation Individually hand tuned to A-440 pitch with maximum resonance and projection.
Renard Artist Model 220 Long Bore Bassoon
Fox Products Renard Artist Model 220 Long Bore Bassoon
Introduced in 1972, the Renard 220 (long bore) can be identified by a very warm "round" tone, evenly balanced, with excellent intonation throughout the entire range. It is the most secure design and its tone quality fits well into both chamber music and orchestral bassoon parts. Like all long bore designs, it features an intonation guarantee that makes it very popular with students and schools.
Body Black Maple, selected for tone and durability, naturally aged in our own facilities. Natural rubber linings in the wing joint and small bore of the boot joint. French bell (metal ring). Body lock.
Finish Acrylic Enamel
Mechanism Nickel silver keys with silver plating. Full German system with additional high D and E keys. Ring key for wing joint third finger hole. Right hand whisper key lock.

Intonation Individually hand tuned to A-440 pitch with maximum resonance and projection.

Review of the Blueridge BR-140 in Vintage Guitar Magazine - 10/15/2003
Time to sell your D-28? Probably not, but Blueridge’s BR-140 is a satisfying strum.
The BR-140 features a solid spruce top, solid mahogany back and sides, and a mahogany neck with an Indian rosewood fretboard and bridge. Inside the BR-140 has hand-carved forward-X pattern parabolic braces.
Externally, the BR-140 has cool Kluson style butterbean tuners, a “style B” MOP inlay on the headstock (“style B” represents the inlay pattern found on all Historic Series guitars), black body binding, bone nut and saddle, and a spotted (“Dalmation”) pickguard. In general, it has Martin vibe, with its vintage/tinted top, but with a few unique appointments – the smaller-profile headstock with Mother-of-pearl inlay, and the funky pickguard (I like it, but an unscientific poll found only half of the people who saw it appreciated its visual appeal). The only obvious external construction shortcut are the plastic bridge pins.
From a playability standpoint, the Blueridge was a pleasant surprise. It has a nice, slim neck with low, fast action that, even under moderately hard playing, revealed no significant fret buzz. Typically, the sub-par fretwork (and requisite fret buzz) on imported guitars is masked by larger neck profiles and higher action. But the frets on the BR-140 are nicely polished and level, with a slight dip in the fretboard after the body joint. The neck-to-body joint angle was also correct, allowing for the low action, but maintaining enough downward pressure on the saddle for good tone.
From the first strum of an open E chord, I was again surprised. The Blueridge has a big, open, natural tone with clear bass, even mids, and shimmering top-end. No matter where I played on the neck, the tone remained full and crisp. Even with an open – or drop-D tuning, the bass never got mushy or overbearing – just thumpy and full.
For the most part, I played fingerstyle, but had a friend who flatpicks give it a try. This is where it really sounded at home; single notes were clear, with biting attack, and chords were loud and full, with good projection.
The BR-140 is Blueridge’s mid-line instrument, with others offering solid Indian rosewood back and sides on up to solid Brazilian rosewood. The company offers the same wood combinations in 000-style bodies, as well.
You likely wouldn’t sell you prized Martin D-28 to get a Blueridge. But on the other hand, you won’t have to sell a vital body organ to be able to afford one, either.
The Blueridge BR-140 is a tremendous value, sounds great, and plays very well.

Review of the Blueridge BR-160 in Acoustic Guitar Magazine - 11/6/2003
The name Blueridge has long been associated with affordable instruments. Most recently, the brand received critical acclaim for its Chinese-made vintage Martin copies. For this review, Saga Musical Instruments submitted the all-solid-wood BR-160. Adhering closely to Martin dreadnought dimensions, the BR-160 even features vintage-style forward-shifted-and-scalloped X-bracing. Saga decided to stick with a basic herringbone style on the guitar's body, but the BR-160 breaks from tradition with a variation on snowflake inlays in the fingerboard and an over-the-top headstock inlay that is more akin to that of a fancy banjo than a typical guitar. Saga also used a yellow toner to "age" the guitar's top to a slightly unnatural orange color.
The craftsmanship, choice of materials, and setup that went into the BR-160 were outstanding and prove how far Chinese manufacturers have come. Tonally, the Blueridge was very impressive as well. Even though Simmons found the neck to be a bit too shallow, we all agreed that the guitar played great. True to the guitars it emulates, the BR-160 excelled when flatpicked. It displayed a great dynamic range, retained its rich tone when played hard, and displayed good balance throughout its range.

How to Buy Your First Drum Kit
Buying your first Drum set can be a bit intimidating. You’ve got a lot of parts (many performing unique functions) and… assembly required!
Not the most “beginner friendly” instrument, to say the least. Hopefully, this information will shed some light on the process and get you on your way to makin’ the big “Boom-Chic”.
First thing you need to consider is your budget. Drums are available in a wide range of prices, but unlike most other instruments, you can buy drums one at a time and build your kit as your budget allows. You can start with as little as a snare drum on a stand and a pair of sticks to begin learning rudiments. On the other hand, there are many fine quality starter packs that will save you money and get you rockin’ with pretty much everything you need. There are also Junior Drum Sets that are designed for younger children.
Drum Packs usually come in either 4 or 5 piece kits. They often DO NOT contain cymbals. Check carefully as to what is included in the packs you consider. Here are the pieces you will need to get started: Kickdrum, Kick Pedal, Snare drum, Snare stand, Hi-Hat Cymbals, Hi-Hat Stand, MountedTom, Crash Cymbal, Drum Throne, and Sticks. Larger sets may include a 2 nd Mounted Tom, a Floor Tom and more cymbals.
Want to Learn More?
When looking for your first drum kit, here are some things you should be aware of:
Shells – Most entry-level kits are made of basswood or mahogany. Higher-end drums use more expensive woods such as birch or maple, which produce a richer, more resonant tone.
Hardware – The stands that hold up the drums and cymbals are called Hardware. A good rule of thumb: Anything chrome is usually considered hardware. Good hardware is double braced and heavier than cheaper hardware. It will hold up much better to the beating it’s going to get.
Here is a description of what you’ll need for your average drum kit:
* Bass Drum – Also known as a “Kick” drum, this is the big drum that sets on the floor. You use a Foot Pedal to play it. While bass drums usually come with heads on both sides, many players prefer to remove the front head and put a blanket or pillow in the drum to muffle or deaden the sound.
* Kick Pedal – A foot-controlled beater that attaches to the kick drum and enables you to strike it.
* Snare Drum – This drum sits on a stand between the players’ knees and has a head on both the top and bottom. The heads are held in place by “rims” which are fastened onto the drum shell by screwed in bolts called “Tension rods”. The bottom head has a series of parallel, mounted metal strands that are tightly stretched across it called “snares”. The snares sympathetically vibrate against the bottom head when the top head is hit. This produces a “sizzle” or crack sound. The snares can be loosened or tightened by a switch on the side of the drum to turn them off and on.
* Toms – These are the other drums on the kit. Sometimes used with bottom heads on and sometimes removed, these drums have a deep, round tone. Toms mounted on the kick drum or a stand, are called “Mounted Toms”. Toms with legs, that allow them to stand on their own on the floor, are called “Floor Toms”.
* Cymbals – made from an alloy of brass and bronze, cymbals add the splash and accent to a drum kit. There are many different types of cymbals that can add a variety of accents and endless setup variations. Over time, as you improve, you will begin to understand and hear the differences between different makes and models. In the beginning, it is best to go with a starter pack. These packs usually contain a crash cymbal, a ride cymbal and a pair of hi-hats. As your playing develops, you can add or replace cymbals for better quality and variety.
Types of Cymbals:
Basic Drum Kit Cymbal Set-up
* Hi-Hats – Two horizontal cymbals that are mounted on a floor stand, facing each other underside to underside. They are brought together, opened and closed, using a foot pedal. * Ride – Often the largest cymbal in the group, it is used to keep time and is usually played in place of the Hi-Hats. Most drummers find that only one Ride is necessary. * Crash - This cymbal is used for accents. There is usually more than one in an intermediate or pro set up.
Specialty Cymbals These are cymbals that can be added later to add variety
* China – produces a unique, brash, “trash can lid” type of sound. Used as an occasional special accent. * Splash – A small, high pitched, quick decaying cymbal for unique accents.
Heads Drum Heads come in 3 different levels of thickness, Thin, Medium and Heavy. It is usually recommended that novice players use Medium heads. New sets usually come with “Single-Ply” Thin heads.
Sticks – Some kits come with them, some don’t – be sure to check. (Many a drummer boy has been disappointed Christmas morning because Santa forgot the sticks!) Either way, sticks easily get lost or broken, so be sure to get yourself a couple extra pair. You won’t regret it. There are many different types of sticks. They come in different widths and lengths, and can be made of different material or have different tips. This is another situation where there is no right or wrong. You’ll have to try different kinds and brands to find out what is right for you. For beginners, it’s good to start with a pair of Wood Tip 2B sticks and make changes from there as you learn what feels and sounds best to you.
Accessories – As previously mentioned, drum kits have many parts that often need special maintenance and attention. Items such as a drumstick holder, metronome and cases, along with educational books, DVD’s and videos are often overlooked accessories that can make the learning experience easier and more fun!||||||||||||||||0||||||||||||||||||||||||0||~~minimum-quantity~~1~~need-ship~~1~~|^^|carmainofyou||item.||page.||incarkit||||||||Care & Maintenance of your Woodwind Instruments||||schoolbanin inren incarkit||School Band Instruments > School Band Instruments > Instrument Care Kits > ||||||||||||||||0||1||0||0||||||||Care & Maintenance of your Woodwind Instruments

Make it part of your regular routine Because your instrument is a precision piece of equipment, proper care and maintenance should become a regular routine before and after playing.
Remove all moisture and dirt Each time you finish playing, remove all moisture and dirt particles from the bore of each joint using a swab or cleaning rod and cloth. Disassemble your instrument and drop the weighted cord through each section and pull the swab through.
Bore Oil Players of wood instruments should use bore oil. Bore oil prevents moisture (the chief cause of cracking in wood instruments) from saturating the bore. Apply a few drops of oil to a second swab and pull the swab through each section and barrel. Repeat as necessary to ensure even coating of pores in all sections. Return swab to plastic container after use. DO Not allow oil to get on pads. All points where the end of a key rod meets the post should be oiled every month or so with key oil. DO NOT apply directly from bottle. Apply a small amount to a needle and touch the needle to friction point. Use sparingly, as too much oil collects dust and dirt. After oiling, work the keys and wipe off excess oil. Avoid getting oil on pads.
Cork Grease Clarinet, saxophone and double reed players should use cork grease on all cork joints to preserve the resilience of the cork and to make assembling the instrument easier. Always remove the mouthpiece when not in use to retain a good cork fit.
Remove Dust Use a duster brush to remove dust or lint that gathers around posts and strings and under key rods. Use caution in cleaning under key mechanism to avoid unhooking the needle springs or damaging the bumper corks.
Wipe Your Instrument Off After Each Use After playing, use a polishing cloth to wipe off perspiration and fingerprints. To return finish to its finest luster, rub briskly. DO NOT use a lacquer polish cloth on plated finishes. Approved polishing cloths include UMI #353L for lacquered finishes and #353M for plated finishes. The UMI Super Polish Cloth (#2168) is approved for all finishes. Caution: DO NOT use chemical or solvent agents to clean the finish of composition or plastic instruments. ALSO, POLISHING COMPOUNDS AND TREATED CLOTHS SHOULD NOT BE USED ON GOLD PLATING. Gently wipe gold plated areas with a soft cotton cloth (#378). Hard-to-remove smudges may be removed with a small amount of alcohol on the cloth.
Take Care of Your Mouthpiece After playing, wipe the mouthpiece with a soft cloth. Clean your mouthpiece at least once a week, brushing out inside with the mouthpiece brush and warm soapy water. Rinse with cold water and dry. After each use, you should rinse the brush thoroughly.||||||||||||||||0||||||||||||||||||||||||0||~~minimum-quantity~~1~~need-ship~~1~~|^^|carandmainof1||item.||page.||incarkit||||||||Care and Maintenance of your piston valve instrument||||schoolbanin inren incarkit||School Band Instruments > School Band Instruments > Instrument Care Kits > ||||||||||||||||0||1||0||0||||||||Care and Maintenance of your piston valve instrument
A Guide to Keeping your Piston Valve Instruments Looking and Feeling Brand New
courtesy of: www.unitedmusical.com
Make it part of your regular routine Because your piston valve instrument is a precision piece of equipment, proper care and maintenance should become a regular routine before and after playing.
Flush the Entire Instrument Once a month, flush out the entire instrument. Remove the mouthpiece and tuning slides. Unscrew top and bottom valve caps, and remove valves from casings. Flush interior of instruments with lukewarm water-never hot. Scrub the bore and tubing with a bore brush, rinse with cold water and drain thoroughly. (Care should be taken in the use of soap-never use detergents on lacquered finishes.) Dry valve casing with a cotton flannel cleaning cloth. Use your bore brush, as well, to periodically remove particles of dirt in slides or tubing.
Clean the Valves Clean the valves and valve casings frequently when the instrument is new. Use a cleaning rod to guide the cloth through the valve casing, making sure the end of the rod is completely covered with the cloth. Then use a pumping action, or simply pull the cloth back and forth in the casing. Use the cloth only to clean the portholes on valves. Do not use your cleaning rod for cleaning portholes, as their corners are sharp and easily dented.
Valve Oil Apply valve oil freely (3 to 4 drops) to each valve piston and return to its casing. (Look for and match each valve number on each valve.) Wipe off excess oil. Approved valve oils include UMI Valve Oil #4101 and Conn Formula 3 for monel pistons (#314) or plated pistons (#315).
Slide Grease Apply tuning slide grease to tuning slides before reassembling the instruments. Wipe off excess. UMI Slide Grease comes in a squeeze tube (UMI #4106) or a lipstick style tube (UMI #4206).
Use a polishing cloth after each use After playing, use a polishing cloth to wipe off perspiration and fingerprints. To return finish to its fine luster, rub briskly. DO NOT use a lacquer polish cloth on plated finishes.
Instrument Polishes Instrument polishes are recommended to bring out the high luster your new instrument was born with. Some include a tarnish inhibitor to keep your instrument looking like new.
Clean your mouthpiece Clean your mouthpiece at least once a week, brushing out the inside with the mouthpiece brush and warm soapy water. Rinse with cold water and dry. After each use, you should rinse the brush thoroughly. Remove the mouthpiece and place it in a mouthpiece pouch when not in use.||||||||||||||||0||||||||||||||||||||||||0||~~minimum-quantity~~1~~need-ship~~1~~|^^|carandmainof||item.||page.||incarkit||||||||Care and Maintenance of your Slide and Rotary Valve Instruments||||schoolbanin inren incarkit||School Band Instruments > School Band Instruments > Instrument Care Kits > ||||||||||||||||0||1||0||0||||||||Care and Maintenance of your Slide and Rotary Valve Instruments A Guide to Keeping your Slide and Rotary Valve Instruments Looking and Feeling Brand New courtesy of: www.unitedmusical.com
Make it part of your regular routine Because your horn is a precision instrument, proper care and maintenance should become a regular routine before and after playing.
Flush the Entire Instrument Once a month, flush the entire instrument. Remove the mouthpiece and tuning slides. Flush interior of instrument with lukewarm water - never hot. Scrub the bore and tubing with the bore brush, rinse with cold water and drain thoroughly. (Care should be taken in the use of soap - never use detergents on lacquered finishes.) Dry with a cotton flannel cleaning cloth. Also, use your bore brush to periodically remove particles of dirt in slides or tubing.
Valve Oil Prevents Sticking Use specially refined rotary valve oil to lubricate the rotary valves often to prevent sticking. Oil the rotor stem at the junction of the drum and the lower bearing. Remove the cap on the top side of the valve and oil the exposed movable parts. Another method is to remove the valve slides while the horn is in upright position, place three or four drops into each slide and reinsert each slide into the horn. Tip the horn so that oil runs directly into valve casing. (Oiling directly down the slide tube will wash heavier slide grease into the valve, causing slow valve action.)
Slide Cream For maximum slide performance, there are many slide creams which are recommended. Before playing, be sure your slide is very clean and apply a small amount according to the lubricant instructions. Recommended slide creams include Conn Formula 3 Slide Cream (UMI #318A); King Slide Cream (#329); Slide-O-Mix (#337); Slide-O-Mix Light (#337L) and Trombotine (#338).
Slide Grease Apply tuning slide grease to tuning slides before reassembling the instruments. Wipe off excess. UMI Slide Grease comes in a squeeze tube or a lip-stick type tube.
How to clean a trombone slide To clean slide trombone slides, remove inner slides and pour a little lukewarm water into outer slides. Insert inner slides and "slush pump" in and out. Rinse well and drain. Use the bore brush to remove dirt particles. Rinse again and drain thoroughly. Dry with a cotton flannel cleaning cloth. Trombone slide oil provides the basic lubricated surface for slide performance. Apply Slide Oil to both sides of the inner slide and work outer slide evenly.
Instrument polishes Instrument polishes are recommended to bring out the high luster your new instrument was born with. Some include a tarnish inhibitor to keep your instrument looking like new. Approved polishes include Lacquer Life for lacquered instruments; and Metal Polish for plated instruments.
Clean your mouthpiece Clean your mouthpiece at least once a week, brushing out the inside with the mouthpiece brush and warm soapy water. Rinse with cold water and dry. After each use, you should rinse the brush thoroughly. Remove the mouthpiece and place it in a mouthpiece pouch when not in use.
Use a polishing cloth after each use After playing, use a polishing cloth to wipe off perspiration and fingerprints. To return finish to its fine luster, rub briskly.

A LITTLE CELLO HISTORY
The cello has always been a vital part of the orchestra, filling out the bass-lines above the double-basses, and a mainstay of the string quartet or piano trio; but until the end of the nineteenth century it was rarely used in sonatas or solo music. The Solo Cello Suites of J S Bach are an early landmark in the repertoire, and a surprising one in many ways, because as an Italian instrument the cello was usually passed over by German composers in favour of the viola da gamba. But Bach's musical intelligence gave the cello six pieces that are still a tremendous musical feat of writing and playing. The baroque cello if Bach's time was one of a number of low-pitched strings; Bach himself uses the viola da gamba, violone and cello all together in one of the Brandenburg concertos - an odd mix to today's ears. It was roughly the same size as today's instrument, but with a less sharply angled neck, lower bridge and lower tension gut strings which give a warmer sound with a more articulate attack at the beginning of a note - perfect for the insistent, almost mechanical rhythms of much baroque music. (The cello didn't take on steel strings, which give a better sustain, more suited to the singing lines of romantic music, until the 1920s.) The baroque cello didn't have the modern-day spike either - that came at the end of the nineteenth century. Players sat with their knees apart and ankles together, cradling the instrument on their calves.

The eighteenth century saw several major cello concertos by Boccherini, C P E Bach, and Vivaldi, who wrote nearly two dozen. The instrument was constantly used in chamber music, especially in the string quartet that had been established by Hayden. But the early nineteenth century saw a tailing off of the repertoire. As with many other instruments, the surviving solo music is mainly written by player-composers. The cello equivalent of the Chopin Preludes for piano are the 48 Etudes by David Popper of Germany, who wrote many small cello pieces that are encountered by every cellist in every conservatoire in the world sooner or later. His Dance of the Elves is a favourite encore piece, and seems to end every Wigmore Hall debut recital. The early 1800s were a time of great instrument development. Woodwinds were being radically redesigned, and strings were being made louder and brighter to fill the new larger concert halls. The bow changed shape, taking a curve which gave it higher tension and made possible a greater range of effects on string instruments such as bouncing the bow. The vocal qualities of the new brighter cello made it ideal for the romantic concerto which expressed the conflict between the individual and society, but it wasn't until the time of the Dvorak Cello Concerto that the instrument was taken up by composers. The amount of cello pieces from the nineteenth century that remain in the repertoire is really very small: a Schumann Concerto, the Rococo Variations by Tchaikovsky, two Brahms Sonatas but not really very much else. Interest in the cello during the twentieth century was stimulated by virtuosos such as Pablo Casals and Emanuel Feuermann . Through their flawless technique and championing of repertoire they inspired composers to write new works for the instrument and so opened up the range of music available. Casals in particular brought cello technique forward: he opened out his shoulders, freeing out expressive possibilities for the players. Ironically, although Casals did more than anyone to create modern cello music, he didn't care for it very much and usually refused to play music of anything but the previous two centuries. However, it didn't stop Schoenberg writing a Concerto for him. A landmark for the cello is the solo Sonata by Zoltan Kodaly, which was championed by Janos Starker from an early age and stretched the instrument's technical possibilities. Cello concertos and sonatas became a standard task for a composer, and Mstislav Rostropovich was behind the writing of major works by Prokofiev, Shostakovich and Britten, who wrote three solo sonatas as well as a Cello Symphony. And with the recent interest in authentic music has come a revival of the baroque cello, with players such as Anner Bylsma playing works of the Bachs and other early composers on the instruments they were written for, or on copies of them.

Its beauty and its traditional appearance make it a centerpiece in any space, indoors or outdoors. This style of gong dates from the Han Dynasty where it was used for spiritual drumming, large meetings, and to announce the procession of important people. In more modern times, the chao gong has found a place in different genres of music, most notably symphony orchestras.
The Chao Gong, otherwise known as a tam-tam, is one of the most familiar looking Chinese gongs. The chao gong differs in shape from the wind gong in that it has a rim around the outside edge. It also has a very distinctive "target" appearance. It is made of a bronze alloy which is roughly 80% copper and 20% tin, and the crafting process is a mixture of hand hammering and working the bronze on a lathe while carefully heating and cooling the metal. On the chao gong, the center spot and outside rim retain the black copper oxide that forms when the gong is made. On the rest of the gong this coating is removed and the surface is polished. Chao gongs are available in a range of sizes, with each size having its own distinct full sound. Smaller sizes have a rich but higher sound while the larger sizes are deeper and ring with more power and sustain.||||||||||||||||0||||||||||||||||||||dobani||||0||~~minimum-quantity~~1~~need-ship~~1~~|^^|chsiacgu1||item.||page.||chsiacgu||https://sep.yimg.com/ca/I/chrisbsmusicinc_2270_20769856||||||Child Sized Acoustic Guitar-Black||LAPKMBK||acin chsiacgu||Acoustic Instruments > Child Sized Acoustic Guitars > ||69.990||131.990 ||69.990 ||Child Sized Acoustic Guitar||||||||1||1||1||0||||||||30" Student Guitar Package These 1/2 size acoustic guitars provide the young student an easy-to-hold instrument.

by Daniel Glass
Although they often play second fiddle to the drums, your cymbals are just as important in defining you as a player. Put as much care into choosing them as you would a new kit, a new car, or any other "serious" purchase. Here are a few things to keep in mind when preparing to bring a new cymbal into the fold.
Before actually heading to a music store or perusing the classifieds, make sure to do the following:
1. Decide what type of cymbals will best support you as a player—the sizes, thickness and brightness that are typical for the type of gigs you do. If a Tony Williams vibe is what you're after, then you'll need a heavy jazz ride that can provide good stick definition. If you want that Dave Grohl sound, you'll need to invest in a ride cymbal that can also be crashed. If you're a freelancer who plays in any number of styles, it's important to have a variety of sizes and weights to select from. But don' t go overboard, a good drummer should be able to draw music out of any cymbal.
2. Educate yourself. These days, options abound like never before, and stores are full of brands and styles that have very specialized purposes. Choice is a great thing, but it can also be confusing. Read product reviews in drum magazines. Find out what your favorite players are using. Most importantly, talk with other drummers—your peers, a teacher, a more experienced player. Once inside the store, don't be afraid to pull a salesperson aside and ask their opinion as well. It's what they're there for.
Once you've narrowed your choices down, keep the following in mind:
3. Whenever possible, make sure that you play any prospective cymbal before buying it. This may sound obvious, but many younger drummers assume that all 16" crashes sound alike or that a 22" ride is an acceptable substitute for a 20", etc. Listen to advice, but don't assume that someone else's favorite cymbal will automatically work for you.
4. Make sure you play prospective cymbals at a drum set. A cymbal might sound great when it's being hit on the display stand, but does it have the resonance you want in the context of a groove or the punch you expect when it's crashed in tandem with the bass drum? You won't know unless you try it all together.
5. Test out new cymbals in conjunction with your existing setup. As with the strings on a guitar, your cymbals should mesh sonically as a set, so don't feel afraid to bring your cymbal bag with you when you buy. Most music superstores like Guitar Center have "cymbal testing rooms" for just this purpose. Take advantage of them!
6. Explore every aspect of a cymbal's capabilities. Crash it (even if it's a ride), ride it (even if it's a crash), check the bell, hit it with both ends of a stick. Note the decay time for crashes. Determine how much of an overtone "wash" builds up when you play time on rides. Swish hi-hats with your foot in addition to hitting them. Although it may not seem like it, cymbals are finely crafted musical instruments—it's up to you to be fully aware of the array of sounds they can produce.
7. Don't rule out used cymbals. They're not only cheaper, but may have developed a unique and incredible sound from being hit over a period of years. Also, don't feel you need to "clean up" a used cymbal—it may be the grime that gives that cymbal its unique personality. Jim Keltner has described in interviews how he would stomp on new cymbals and throw them down stairwells in an effort to get that "worn in" sound for recording projects.
Here are a couple words of caution to keep in mind:
8. Beware of buying cymbals through the mail. Although mail order catalogs, auction websites, and the like will offer tempting prices, you may end up getting something that sounds very different than what you had originally wanted. If the mail's your only option, make sure there's a quality returns policy. You should never have to feel that you've been "stuck" with something.
9. One final (but extremely important) reminder: Don't buy cymbals because they're pretty!! Although brand name logos, signature series' and glossy magazine ads may influence your preferences in the way of gear, let your ear make the final decision. In the end, the way your equipment sounds, not its appearance, will play a much larger role in getting you toward your musical goals.

It's easy to be overwhelmed by the prospect of evaluating a music teacher for your child, especially if you have no music background yourself. But now you can relax -- we've taken the guesswork out of the selection process with this checklist. The most important part of selecting a private teacher is to find the right match for your child. Music lessons are a personal activity and the relationship your child has with his or her teacher is key to achieving a successful, long-term educational experience.
1. Ask for recommendations for good music instructors from friends, teachers, music teachers, and others in your community.
2. Interview the prospective teacher to find out his or her: * qualifications * teaching experience * policies regarding fees, cancellations, etc. * professional development
3. What are the teacher's practice and performance requirements? Teachers working with older students from school programs may not have performance or recital requirements due to the demands of the school music program. But all teachers should have some type of practice requirements.
4. Does the teacher have his or her students study a variety of music and music styles?
5. Does the teacher incorporate theory and history into the lessons?
6. Once you've selected someone, ask to sit in on a few lessons in order to observe the relationship developing between your child and the teacher. Look for the teacher to inspire and your child to cooperate. Your child should have his or her interest sparked by the teacher and want to learn more.
7. Attend a recital given by the students of the teacher. Talk to other parents about their views of the teacher's lessons.
8. Does the teacher help his or her students to set goals for progress? Does the teacher provide formal or informal evaluations for parents so you can see your child's progress?
9. Ask for references if appropriate.
Sometimes, the best advice you can get about choosing a music teacher is from other parents who've been there.||||||||||||||||0||||||||||||||||||||||||0||~~minimum-quantity~~1~~need-ship~~1~~|^^|chordtheory||item.||page.||guitchorfint||||||||Chord Theory||||guiten guitchorfint||Guitar Encyclopedia > Guitar Chord Finder...Cool Tool! > ||||||||How Chords Work||||||||0||1||0||0||||||||
Acoustic Guitars at Chris B's Music
To understand chords, we must first take a close look at intervals.
Interval - The space between two notes.
A chord has to have a minimum of 3 notes, called a chord triad. A chord triad consists of 2 intervals. The smallest interval in western music is the half-step. On a piano keyboard, this would be playing 2 notes without any other notes in between them. B - C, C - C#, E - F, Gb - G, are all examples of half-step intervals.
The next largest interval is the whole step. A whole step consists of 2 half steps. B - C#, C - D, E - F#, Gb - Ab are all examples of whole step intervals.
The next largest interval is the minor third. A minor third consists of 1 1/2 steps. The interval which is larger than the minor third is the major third, which consists of 2 whole steps (or 4 half steps).
The following chart shows the intervals starting from G.
Interval | Name |
G - Ab | half-step |
G - A | whole-step |
G - Bb | minor third |
G - B | major third |
There are only 4 types of chord triads; major, minor, augmented and diminished. These chords are defined by their intervals.
The following is a chart of the various G chord triads, with the notes of the chord and interval names listed:
G Chord | Notes of Chord | Order of Intervals |
G Major | G B D | Maj-3rd Min-3rd |
G Minor | G Bb D | Min-3rd Maj-3rd |
G Augmented | G B D# | Maj-3rd Maj-3rd |
G Diminished | G Bb Db | Min-3rd Min-3rd |
Knowing the intervals which make up chords, will allow a person to find chords without any additional aids.
If we extend the chord triad by giving it a fourth note, we get 7th chords. The following chart lists the most common 7th chords for G along with the appropriate intervals:
G 7th Chord | Notes of Chord | Order of Intervals |
G Major 7 | G B D F# | Maj-3rd Min-3rd Maj-3rd |
G Dominant 7 | G B D F | Maj-3rd Min-3rd Min-3rd |
G Minor 7 | G Bb D F | Min-3rd Maj-3rd Min-3rd |
G Half-Diminished 7 | G Bb Db F | Min-3rd Min- 3rd Maj-3rd |
G Diminished 7 | G Bb Db E | Min-3rd Min-3rd Min-3rd |
You may want to go further and chart out the intervals for 5, 6 and 7 note chords as well. I will not go any farther than charting 4 note chords.
To apply chords to music, first find out the key of the song. Then by harmonizing the corresponding scale, or simply using the number system, one can find all of the chords which work for a given key.
An example would be if a song is in the key of A major, it scale would be:
Any chord which contains notes derived from this scale will work in this key. So, A major 9 (A C# E G# B) works since all it's notes are derived from the A major scale. Db major (Db F Ab) won't work within the key. But try it anyhow, it may work in the song even though it doesn't fit the key. Don't be afraid to place chords in a song which aren't derived from it's key(s). In other words, don't limit yourself to the key of a song/progression. Keys are to be thought of as guidelines.
Let's use chords derived from the C major scale as examples:
C D E F G A B
Chords are derived from numbering the scale degrees of the corresponding root. (C=1, D=2, E=3, etc.). When the notes of the scale go into another octave, the numbers continue.
C D E F G A B C D E F G A 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
A chord triad will contain the 1, 3 and 5. A Seventh chord will be numbered, 1, 3, 5, 7. Here is list of the basic chord names and their corresponding numbers:
Number of notes | Name |
1 3 5 | Triad |
1 3 5 7 | Seventh |
1 3 5 7 9 | Ninth |
1 3 5 7 9 11 | Eleventh |
1 3 5 7 9 11 13 | Thirteenth |
Notice the pattern. The notes of all chords (except suspended and 6th chords) are derived from choosing a tonic, and building the rest of the notes from the corresponding scale by skipping every other note of the scale.
Earlier, I demonstrated how to find the name of chord triads using intervals. The chart below illustrates how a chord name can be found by examining the numbers of the major scale in which it is derived from.
C Chord Triad | Notes of Chord | Numbers of Chord |
C Major | C E G | 1 3 5 |
C Minor | C Eb G | 1 b3 5 |
C Augmented | C E G# | 1 #3 #5 |
C Diminished | C Eb Gb | 1 b3 b5 |
C F G = C sus 4 (sus 4 chords are usually written without the "4", i.e., "C sus"
C D G = C sus 2
There has been some confusion about suspended chords. I once saw a chord labeled as a Minor sus 4. This is an erroneous name because by definition, a suspended chord has no third, but a minor chord has to have a flatted third. The intended chord was a Minor add 11 chord.
The following is a list of most, if not all, of the possible C chords and their corresponding names.
Notes of Chord | Chord Name |

C E G Bb Db F A | C 13 Flat 9 |
C E G Bb D# F A | C 13 Sharp 9 |
C E G Bb D# F A | C 13 Sharp 9 |
The names of the chords are cumulative. In other words, if a chord is called a ninth, it must contain all of the triad numbers below nine. An eleventh chord must contain 1 3 5 7 9 11 in order to be called a true "eleventh" chord. If a chord does not hold to the pattern, say the alleged eleventh is missing the 9, containing 1 3 5 7 11, then it is said to be a "seven add eleven". For instance, C E G B F is a C major 7 add eleven, while C E G B D F is a legitimate C major eleven chord. Here are some more examples:
Notes of Chord | Chord name |
D F# A E | D major add 9 |
Eb G Bb Db F C | Eb Dom 7 add 11 add 13 |
G B D C E | G major add e11 add 13 |
The best way to define inversion is to illustrate them:
The C major triad has three inversions:
C Major 7 has four inversions
C G B E is not an inversion. All the notes of the chord must be present and no note can be skipped, only the sequence of the notes can be altered in a chord inversion.
A chord voicing is different from a chord inversion in that a note can be skipped or repeated in a chord voicing. Again, the best way to teach about chord voicings is to illustrate them:
C G B E is a chord voicing of C major 7.
C B E G is a chord voicing of C major 7
G C E G is a chord voicing of C major 7.
C G C B E is a chord voicing of C major 7.
B G E C E is a chord voicing of C major 7.
As chords get bigger (elevenths and thirteenths), most musicians will tend to drop one note of the chord. Usually, (this is not a rule) the eleventh is the first note to go in a thirteenth chord, thus technically making the chord a 9 add 13 (assuming no other note is dropped).
One thing to keep in mind about voicings and inversions is that with bigger chords, voicings/inversions become increasingly important as to how the chord sounds. For instance, for the G major 7 chord, voiced G B D F#, this chord can sound "jazzy", while voiced B D F# G is too disonant because of the F# and G being placed right next to each other. The latter voicing is a rarely used one for this chord.
In the notes above, I talked about some alternate names for chords (Half-diminished/Minor 7 b5 is one example). But some chords have alternate names which can be chosen based upon how the chord is being used within the context of the song/progression. Some examples are:
Notes of Chord | Chord Name | Chord Name |
A C E G | A minor 7 | C major 6 (3rd inversion) |
B D F A | B half-diminished | D minor 6 (3rd inversion) |
G C D | G suspended 4 | C suspended 2 (1st inversion) |
Augmented chords have 3 possible names, usually chosen based upon which inversion is being used:
Notes of Augmented Chord | Chord Name |
C E G# | C Augmented |
E G# C | E Augmented |
G# C E | G# Augmented |
So, which name should be used in which situations? Whichever is easiest. But, a general rule of thumb is that the note in which the bass note (played by a bass player or left hand of piano) is playing, is usually the root of the chord in question. So, if a B D F A is being played over a D bass note, then it is probably best to call this chord a D minor 6. Of course if the bass note is an F, A, G or other note besides B or D, this rule cannot be applied.
Polychords are technically two or more chords put together. But most, if not all polychords are really part of a bigger chord. For example:
Consists of:
I think of polychords as another way of thinking about large chords. As chords get bigger, it can be easier to think of them as consisting of two or more smaller chords. This is especially true for piano players.
Here is a list of a few polychords and their "real" chord names.
Notes of polychord | Polychord | "Real" name |
B D# F# A | B Major/D# Dim | B Dom 7 |
D F# A C E | D Major/A Minor | D Dom 9 |
E G B D F# | E Minor/B Minor | E Min 9 |
C E G Bb Eb | C Major/Eb Major | C Dom 7 Sharp 9 |
Thinking in terms of polychords can also help with orchestration. For instance, with many instruments, one could orchestrate the piano to play a C Major and the guitar to play an Eb Major (1st inversion), thus together they are playing the C Dom 7 Sharp 9 chord (see above).
Notes of power chord | Chord Name |
C G | C 5 (or C power chord) |
G D | G 5 (or G power chord) |
E B E | E 5 (or E power chord) |
Powerchords are neither minor or major and therefore either scale can be used over top of them. Only when a scale is used over them, is a major or minor tonality implied to the listener. Therefore, one can easily alternate between being in a major key or minor key (thus using chords which are derived from either number system).
The following chord progression illustrates this:
C 5, F Major, G Dom 7, C5, Bb Major, Eb Major
When examined, the first three chords of this progression, are derived from the key of C Major, while the last three chords are derived from C minor, for C Maj, F Maj and G Dom 7 are the I, IV and V chords of C *Major*, while C Min, Bb Maj and Eb Maj are the i, VII and III chords of the key of C *Minor*.
The blues scale works very well over these types of progressions being that it contains both the minor and major third in it. A blues scale contains both the Eb of C minor and E of C major. One could also simply play the C major scale over the first 3 chords, and then transition to the C minor scale for the last 3 chords.
Power chords are especially popular among rock and blues music. The power chord is used a lot by guitar players because the guitar's standard tuning and the distortion's effect upon the sound of the major third.
C Maj/Bb is the notation for the C major chord being played over a Bb bass note. The Bb note is not found within the C major chord, but together, this slash chord is a C Dom 7th. My favorite slash chord is the Bb Maj/C because it is an excellent substition for the C eleventh chord.
Chords are based on harmony, using every second note in a dominant scale, starting with the root note. The dominant scale is the same as the major scale, except the 7th note which is a semitone flatter. The table below shows the notes of the dominant scale, with examples in the key of C and A. Every second note in the scale is shown in red:
Notes in chords are referred to by their note number, so that a single scheme can be used, regardless of the chord's root note, or the key and scale you're using. In the above examples, the 5th note is G for a C chord, and E for an A chord.
Selecting every 2nd note in the dominant scale gives us:
Each of these notes may be:
Notes of power chord | Chord Name |
C G | C 5 (or C power chord) |
G D | G 5 (or G power chord) |
E B E | E 5 (or E power chord) |
C 2 E 1 1/2 G Major chord (major 3rd + minor 3rd D 1 1/2 F 2 A Minor chord (minor third + major 3rd) E 1 1/2 G 2 B Minor chord F 2 A 1 1/2 C Major chord G 2 B 1 1/2 D Major chord A 1 1/2 C 2 E Minor chord B 1 1/2 D 1 1/2 F Diminished chord (minor 3rd+minor 3rd)This system is called a harmonised scale and the 3 note chords are called triads. A tune can be given chords to fill it out using this system which gives rise to the wealth of "pieces"that we play on our various harmony instuments such as guitar and piano. These three note chords if played as above are said to be in root position and when they are played out of order they follow this system

The clarinet family includes the contra-alto and bass models, but we will focus on the instrument most often thought of when the word clarinet is used: the Bb clarinet. This is the most popular form, used for music from Mozart to marching tunes and especially prominent in jazz, swing, and Dixieland. Useful in ensemble and solo playing, the clarinet can also be a good crossover instrument, allowing players to easily pick up the saxophone or flute at a later time.
Generally the ideal clarinet tone is one that is rich, dark, and focused with lots of fundamental and a pleasant mix of overtones (both lower and higher). The presence, or absence, of overtones is where personal taste comes into account, but a clarinet should always produce a smooth and centered fundamental tone. The clarinets offered by Musician's Friend will deliver fantastic fundamental tone, and we'll help you understand the instrument features that will let you achieve ultimate tone and playability.
Parts of the clarinet
The clarinet is composed of five separate parts that are assembled to make up the instrument: the mouthpiece A, the barrel B, the upper joint C, the lower joint D, and the bell E, in that order. Clarinets are usually divided into three different categories: student clarinets, intermediate-level clarinets, and professional clarinets.
Body materials
Clarinets are chiefly composed of two substances: plastic and wood.
The type of plastic used in clarinets is specifically engineered for that use. Its benefit is that it has all the forgiving ruggedness typical of plastic while possessing certain musical qualities that allow it to sound like a clarinet. The majority of clarinets constructed from plastic are student, entry-level instruments.
The material traditionally used for clarinet composition is grenadilla wood. Grenadilla clarinets are preferred by advanced students and professionals for the unmistakable sound and resonance only a wood clarinet produces. The wood clarinet's drawback is that it needs proper care to live a long life; care that most students are not disciplined enough to provide. Air moisture is critical to maintaining the health of a grenadilla clarinet, extreme fluctuations in moisture can cause cracks in the body, ruining the instrument. Consistent air moisture is ideal but nearly impossible. Thankfully, there are methods of caring for wood clarinets that guarantee a long life (see below).
There is a subcategory of wood clarinets known as Green Line clarinets. Green Line instruments, manufactured by Buffet Crampon, are composed of 95% grenadilla wood fiber mixed together with 5% carbon fiber and epoxy resin. They go through the same manufacturing process as 100% grenadilla instruments. Their advantage is that they can withstand temperature and humidity changes, require less maintenance, and don't crack.
Keys and plating
The key work on a clarinet will be plated with either nickel or silver (on rare occasions gold). Nickel plate is durable; does not tarnish as easily as silver; and has a shiny, attractive luster. Silver plate is very attractive with a warm, brilliant appearance; has a nice feel to the touch; but tarnishes easily compared to nickel plate. With care silver-plated keys can remain free of tarnish and retain their beauty throughout the instrument's life.
Bore styles
Clarinets come in several different styles and sizes of bores (the inside of the clarinet). In general, smaller bore clarinets are easier for students to play in tune, and it is easier for them to cover the finger holes. Larger bore clarinets are more flexible in pitch and are most often used by jazz players who need to bend notes and produce a big sound that projects adequately in a band setting.
Breaking in a wood clarinet
A new clarinet, or one that has been stored unused for some time, needs to be acclimated to avoid cracking. There are two general rules of thumb to follow in taking care of your grenadilla clarinet.
Rule #1: Do not keep your wood instrument anywhere you would not keep a baby. You would not leave a baby out in the cold or in your car on a hot day, so don't do either with your wood clarinet.
Rule #2: When not playing, always store your instrument in its case.
Also, grenadilla clarinets have to be broken-in before you can play them for extended periods. During the first week, play your clarinet no longer than 15 minutes per day, and swab the bore carefully afterwards to remove moisture. The second week, extend playing time to 30 minutes and follow up with swabbing the bore. The third week extend playing time to 45 minutes and swab the bore. During the fourth week you can push your playing time up to one hour and remove moisture from the bore afterwards by swabbing. After this regimen, if you have followed it closely, your clarinet should be broken-in. If you live in a dry climate, your clarinet will require more care since moisture is pulled from the wood quickly, causing problems. In this case, using a humidifier will help prevent the wood from drying too rapidly and cracking.
Purchasing your clarinet from Musician's Friend means you can try it out at home, giving you a chance to discover if it's the instrument for you.

This is the 2nd time I have ordered from Chris B's. Their service was excellent. The merchandise was well packed and the ground shipment via UPS could be easily tracked on the computer. The shipment arrived in about a week and it arrived safely.
I now have 5 violins of various sizes and I plan to purchase an 1/8th size from Chris b's in the near future.
I cannot believe that anyone can manufacture so fine, nice and complete a product as the violins that Chris B's sells for this price.
Each instrument is complete with case, bow and even rosin ....I am completely satisfied.
Thanks Chris B's and a deserved "well done" to you.

Dear Chris,
What fantastic workmanship for such an incredibly low price. I searched high and low for a used violin for my young son and couldn't find anything under $200. The new violin that I purchased, site unseen through the Internet, was an incredible find. We took our son to his first lesson at the Orlando Suzuki School and his teacher, a concert violinist, even commented on its quality. She too has decided to use Chris B's Music for her instrument purchases instead of the store in California that she has been using for years. Thank you.||Size 4/4 3/4 1/2 1/4 1/8 1/16 1/32||Saga,Music, saga, Musical, Instruments, violins, mandolins, banjos||||||||||||0||||||||||||||||||||Cremona||||0||~~minimum-quantity~~1~~need-ship~~1~~|^^|cremsvviolou||item.||page.||inviol||https://sep.yimg.com/ca/I/chrisbsmusicinc_2270_21645165||||||Cremona SV200 Violin Outfit..For The Intermediate Player||sv200||strinin inviol||Stringed Instruments > Intermediate Violins > ||249.990||419.000 ||249.990 ||Cremona SV200 Violin Outfit||||||||0||1||1||0||Music > Instruments and Equipment > Stringed Instruments > Violin||||||

Hi Melanie,
I just wanted to let you know that we received our Daughter's Violin yesterday. We are extremely pleased and grateful for your wonderful service.
I have a friend who will be calling you tomorrow to order another one. Her name is ****. I am also talking to my other friends who have children in the RISD Strings Program. I believe I have at least a possibilty of two additional orders.
I will keep you posted. Again, Thanks!!!
Tina
Hello Melanie, Received my package - arrived in great shape! Really appreciate the gift certificate and fast service; I'll definitely be advertising for Chris B's!!
Very impressed,
Rick

Rating: Excellent Comments: Not only did I get a great price and prompt service for my son's violin, I received instant confirmation and tracking information for my order by e-mail! Within two days of receiving my shipment I have already recommended this store to a few of my friends and intend to spread the news to the other Suzuki parents in my child's school! My child's teacher approved the quality of the product as well. Glad I found Chris B's.
Recived the violin yesterday in great shape, thanks for your help and I know our daughter-in-law will love it. Great looking violin and very well made. thanks again
We received our violin today. It was in wonderful condition.
Madeline is thrilled with her new violin. (You were right about the size too. She seems to able to handle it much easier than the 1/8 that the music school gave her.) It has a much nicer sound than her rental. You've made her a very happy four year old. I'm going to make sure to tell all the kids in her group about your store.
Rating: Excellent Comments: We ordered the violin on Friday evening and had it in possession on Thursday of the next week. Thank you for your quick attention. We were notified along the way of the status and with my excited 11 year old, that was wonderful to have. She is very excited about her new violin and can't wait until she had it in her class tomorrow.
The instruments arrived this morning in fine shape. My son has already practiced (and is thrilled at how much better he sounds than on the old rental with the broken neck he had last year) and the girls are anxiously waiting for their dad to finish installing the fine tuners and setting up bridges so that they can begin. We're going to have a regular little Suzuki class here until school starts up!
Thanks for such prompt and friendly service.
Rating: Excellent Comments: I was pleasantly surprised with the fast curteous service that I received! Over the internet you just never know what you will encounter and Chris B's music is certainly a diamond in the rough. I was not able to obtain much help from the music stores in my area, so Chris B's has been an absolute Godsend!!!
Rating: Excellent Comments: Fast, friendly, and helpful before, during, and after transaction. They did everything they possibly could to make this a wonderful and worthwhile investment and not a chancy and questionable purchase. They were prompt with delivery: the whole transaction from the time of my order until I received the merchandise was less than a week! What a great surprise that was!
My Daughters Music Instructor was impressed with the Quality and Low Cost of the Intermediate Violin we ordered. Fellow members of the Strings were paying $500.00 Plus for Beginner Violins and we were able to get a higher quality instrument for $250.00. Thanks Chris B!
They handled all problems immediately, responding to my e-mail with a personal phone call directly from the customer service department. I was highly impressed with their efficiency and knowledge.
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. Only the highest praise and recommendations for Chris B.'s Music! The most excellent of the excellent, Chris B.'s Music put playing a musical instrument within my financial reach so that I could make the dreams of my children possible! And they have been nothing but helpful and courteous along the way! Great prices, excellent quality, and superb customer service! THANK YOU MANY TIMES OVER!
I had placed an order with a request not to backorder because I needed the merchandise (a metronome for use by our daughter's music lessons) within about a one week timeframe. Chris B's called me to say they were out of stock and might not get restocked in time to fill my order. I told them I could deal with one or two more days of delay. The metronome arrived just a couple of days later. A note in the package explained that they obtained the unit from another retailer to fill my order in my original time frame.
Way to go Chris B's !!!
My order arrived right away. It was guitar strings and they sent me two sets for the price of one, AND a $10 coupon towards my next purchase! Also, what I loved was they e-mailed me right away in reply to my request to ship this order to my work address. I highly recommend this great company!! I will be a return customer!
I wrote once before I got the item to say that I was very pleased with their customer service. Now I got the item and I am even more pleased. Not only that it got to me on time (faster than I had actually thought), but because the item that I had initially ordered was not in stock, they upgraded it to the next thing and sent me a better product! I was very pleasantly surprised. Thank you very much and congratulations on your professionalism!
I must say that you are the best customer service person I have ever dealt with (and I do a lot of Internet shopping). Please pass along this note to anyone who might help you get recognized/rewarded for your very excellent efforts on my behalf!
I just wanted to thank you for all of the help in purchasing a trumpet for my son. He is extremely pleased with it. The instructor was impressed with its performance as well. The main thing is, my son (Ben), finally has something he is proud of and wants to practice. Actually, he is sounding very well. He might not grow up to be a famous musician, but then again...who knows.
Thanks for the great service. I purchased a Uke from Chris B's Music. Looking forward to doing business again.
hello! i recieved the violin today and my daughter was jumping for joy...thank you and i will post feedback.mike
hi, thank you for the e-mail. i received the violin today 9/7/00. my daughter is thrilled with it. i will send it to the school on monday for the teacher to set it up correctly. thank you for the good service and the good update on the ups tracking. i will have other people from the school get in touch with your company for there purchases. thanks again melanie.
Hey Chris, I really like my RX40. The sound is smooth and clear, and it's easy to play. I got it in early december, but I kind of abandoned my presents I got for christmas to play it. What I like most about it is how much I paid for it. I feel that this is the best choice I could have made in picking my first electric guitar. Thanks, Alex
Chris, Greetings from Huntsville, Alabama. I appreciate your quick response to my inquiry on the Ibanez RX40. I have a follow on question for you. On your website I saw the GRX40 listed for $175, was that an old sale price or is that still the current price for that guitar? If it is I believe you and I should be able to do some business here in the very near future because you have some great prices! Thanks again for the response. Todd
Hello Chris, Thank you for shipping the guitar out so quickly, although my daughter already knows she is getting a guitar, I am glad that it will be here early for Christmas. Again thank you for your great service. Merry Christmas and have a great New Year. Larry
Hi Chris. The Bass came in yesterday. It was delivered to my parents house, and I picked it up last night. I appreciate all of your effort in trying to get it to me. The bass sounds great, and it was set up just about perfect for me. Thanks again, Tim
Just wanted to let you know the violin came on Friday. The kids can't wait to dig in. Thanks-- Take care and thanks again. Kathy Brown
Yeah it arrived on the 5th. It's really cool. Thank you so much for everything. It's great. Jessica
Hi Chris, Got the Talman a while ago. I've only used it on one gig because the humbuckers are much fatter than the lipstick tubes I've been using. It is a beautiful guitar. Some of my employees have told me to sell it because they can't get used to seeing me with such a classy looking guitar. I'm getting ready to practice some and kind of begin the tweaking process right now but I checked my e-mail and thought I'd better write back to thank you. The guitar is gorgeous. I will be very happy to exchange links with you. Thanks again for the great guitar. (even if it is too nice for me) and I'll be talking to you soon. Thanks again for the great deal on a great guitar. Please feel free to use all or part of this letter as an endorsement on your web site. I own a service oriented music store in Texas and you impressed me! Hope to talk to you soon. Thanks again.

Thank you very much for putting together the bass and amp. It's great to be able to such a great brand as Ibanez for such a good price. Now I can play Metallica and all that cool stuff. Thanx much. Jessica Slayton

To clean or not to clean, this is the question for many drummers when it comes to their cymbals. Some players believe that a certain amount of grime and grit and smoky residue adds to the character of the cymbal. No doubt that a certain barroom neglect may give your cymbals a certain roadhouse ambience. But for those who are interested in extending the life of their cymbals and keeping them shining like shining disks of pure sonic gold under the stage lights, here’s some helpful tips.
Many new cymbals are sprayed with a protective coating to keep them from tarnishing in the store, so your cymbals may need less cleaning during the first 6 months, depending on use. During this time, a solution of warm water and liquid dishwasher soap will clean fingerprints, dirt and grime. As your cymbals age, we recommend a professional cleaning cream to remove stick marks and tarnish. Put a small amount onto the surface with a soft cloth and rub in the direction of the tonal grooves, until the metal appears through the film. After the polish has dried to a haze, buff gently with a clean, soft cloth. Clean only a small section of the cymbal at a time. Always avoid using any abrasives, such as steel wool, wire brushes, scouring pads or metal cleaners that contain abrasives. These products will scratch the surface of your cymbal.||||||||||||||||0||||||||||||||||||||||||0||~~minimum-quantity~~1~~need-ship~~1~~|^^|cymbals||item.||page.||index||||||||Cymbals||||||||||||||Sabian, Zildjian, Paiste Cymbals||||||||0||1||0||0||||drumsticks1 congas cymbaltips tamadrums ismecy meinlcymbals paistecymbals sabian cymstarpac wuhancymbals zilcym crashcymbals ridecymbals hihats splashcymbals chinacymbals specefcym drumheads drumbagandca stickbags sabianapparel zilap mallets brushes gongs||||

Chromium wound on steel,these violin strings are an excellent value.
D'Addario Prelude strings are convincing even the most conservative string teachers and players that all student strings are not created equal. Preludes are precision crafted with a solid high-carbon steel core and polished, pure nickel windings. While this composition is similar to other quality student strings, the difference is the damping fluid that D'Addario inserts between the windings. The fluid reduces unwanted overtones, creating the kind of warm, rich sound you never though you could get from steel. Yet, students still get the full response with minimal effort - traditionally a virtue of solid core strings - as well as their longevity and resistance to changes in temperature and humidity.||Size 4/4 3/4 1/2 1/4 1/8||||||||||||||0||||||||||||||||||||D'addario||||0||~~minimum-quantity~~1~~need-ship~~1~~|^^|dangelico||item.||page.||elguit1||https://sep.yimg.com/ca/I/chrisbsmusicinc_2270_21813419||||||D'angelico||||elguit1||Electric Guitars > ||||||||D'angelico Guitars||||||||0||1||0||0||||serialnumbers||||Browse all D'angelico Guitars

In 1988 Mr. Jerry Berine signed a deal with Mr. Shino, a top Japanese guitar designer, and President of Vestax, to launch a D’Angelico re-issue of the New Yorker style guitar. The crystal clear sound and old world craftsmanship (hand-tooled) have been maintained to create once again one of the finest guitars the world has ever known.
The design of the D’Angelico New Yorker is based on achieving beautiful acoustic tones, without amplification, that are enriched while plugged in. The unique design allows the string vibration to interact with the wood bridge and hollow body-chamber in such a way that various tones are created within a single instrument.
The King Of Instruments
If the violin is the queen of instruments, then the D’Angelico has the tone, feel and craftsmanship to be considered the KING. A piece of world history is now offered at a fraction of the cost of an original.
Recently...
Since 1997 the small body style NYS-2, the sleeker, semi-hollow NYSS-3, and the thin body style NYL-5 models have been added to the lineup and use of the D’Angelico has been broadened worldwide.||||||||||||||||0||||||||||||||||||||||||0||~~minimum-quantity~~1~~need-ship~~1~~|^^|serialnumbers||item.||page.||dangelico||||||||D'Angelico Serial Numbers||||elguit1 dangelico||Electric Guitars > D'angelico > ||||||||D'Angelico Serial Numbers||||||||0||1||0||0||||||||
John D'Angelico built 1,164 guitars, all by hand. With the individual attention paid to each instrument, and the variations driven by custom orders, this led to differences in the specifications in the construction of his guitars. D'Angelico had filled many orders from jazz guitar's most accomplished players. With this interaction, John was able to build into his instruments, the construction necessary to stay current with the arch-tops ever expanding role in the orchestral setting. John D'Angelico constructed some of the finest arch-top guitars ever made.

Digital Effects, Mixing, and MIDI
Some HDRs have built-in digital effects. These effects allow you to process your sound without leaving the digital domain. Some even have effects such as Roland’s COSM guitar preamp and microphone modeling. Just plug in a guitar or mic and choose from a selection of amp and microphone sounds at any point during recording, editing, or mixing. Remember, you lose quality every time you move in and out of the digital domain. Also, if your HDR doesn’t have internal effects, you will need to buy additional effects processors.
Advantages of internal digital effects:
Maintain the highest sound quality by keeping everything in the digital domain Customize different effects types and levels for every track Experiment with different effects without changing or losing your original recordings Keep the dry, uneffected track for use at any time Automation No cables to worry about You can have a truly portable studio, with on-board processing to make a vocal or guitar part sound great, without having to lug around extra gear.
This diagram shows how Virtual Tracks and internal digital effects work together to get the most out of your music!
Keeping your whole song digital can make it sound much better.
Digital Mixing
There are many advantages to HDRs with built-in digital mixers.
You keep everything in the digital domain. You don’t lose fidelity when bouncing or mixing tracks Digital mixers with automation, snap shots, and scenes give you more control over your mix Dedicated digital faders and knobs make mixing faster and easier Built-in digital mixers adds portability to your HDR system If your HDR does not contain a mixer, you’ll need to purchase a console specifically designed for recording. An integrated HDR and digital mixer often allows you to:
Compare different mixer settings instantly (level, pan, etc.) Restore all effect and mixer settings when you re-load a song! Craft intricate mixes Recall the levels and effects for bounced tracks to re-mix them Even automate your mix Internal digital mixing allows you to make make an audio CD directly from some Hard Disk Recorders! This gives you complete control over your entire musical project.
EZ Routing Some HDRs with integrated digital mixers include onboard assistance with the process of Recording, Bouncing & Mixing. The HDR makes mixer and routing settings automatically after you answer simple on-screen questions.
Save time by storing your custom mixer and effect settings with each song.
What About MIDI?
Many people use MIDI to record keyboards or drum machines. Most HDRs make it easy to work with MIDI.
HDRs with digital mixers typically have additional inputs for keyboards, sound modules, or an outboard mixer. These inputs can be mixed with your recorded tracks for the final digital mix.
Some even allow you to create a tempo map of bars and beats to match your song. This makes your editing more musical and creates MIDI Clock to keep your drum machine or keyboard sequencer in sync with your HDR.
MIDI Machine Control and MIDI Time Code are also ways that most HDRs synchronize with your sequencer.
If your HDR has a digital mixer that can be controlled via MIDI, then your computer sequencer can be used to automate and control your mix. Some HDRs even have the ability to automate the mix without the need to purchase an external MIDI sequencer.
These capabilities allow you to easily integrate an HDR into your MIDI environment.

June 1, 2000 -- Touted as the guitars that "cut both ways with the fire of an electric or the warmth of an acoustic," Ibanez new Double Edge guitars debuted at the January NAMM show in Los Angeles.
"The Double Edge bridge combines the Ibanez Lo-Pro Edge double-locking tremolo with piezo technology from L. R. Baggs, explained a description from Ibanez R&D. "So instead of switching your electric guitar to an acoustic guitar, you simply flick a switch and get the best of both worlds."It took Ibanez five years to make the first bridge that combined piezo pickups with a Floyd Rose licensed locking tremolo, but Ibanez feels the end result justified the time and efforts. One of the problems they had to overcome with piezo pickups were the annoying pops and noises that occur when a players hand touches the bridge. Ibanez says that doesnt happen with the Double Edge bridge: "We completely isolated the piezos so you can palm the bridge for days and all youll hear is the acoustic sound of the strings."
Ibanez is offering two six string and one seven-string Double Edge guitars.

Now that your kit is assembled, it's time to make it sound like a drum kit instead of...well, instead of how it sounds. While there are many techniques to achieve different types of sound and tone, virtually all of the pro's agree that you must have even head tension to eliminate unwanted ring and overtones. In other words, the tension should be the same at each tuning lug. Sound easy? Well, due to modern manufacturing techniques and better heads, it is easier than it was a few years ago. However, it still requires some practice to develop your touch and ear.
Let us begin...
Kick Drum: In the previous tech tip, we mentioned putting a pillow into the bass drum as a way to help with the overtones and tuning of the drum. While its possible to achieve a good punch without it, most folks (at least other band members and recording engineers) prefer to have a solid "thud" sound with a slight over ring. Whether you choose to use a pillow or not, the tuning procedure is still the same.
Start by tightening the lugs until they are all finger tight. You will notice wrinkles in the head around the edges. Choose any tuning lug and tighten it 1/2 turn. Then, go directly across the head and do the same with that lug. Continue in this fashion around the drum until the wrinkles are gone and you hear a tone when you tap on the head. Once you begin fine-tuning, you will want to turn the lug no more than 1/4 turn. When tuned properly, you should hear the same pitch when you tap on the head in front of each lug. (Approximately 1" in from the rim.) Different shells sound different depending on how high or low they are tuned, so experiment with the tuning.
Snare Drum: Because there are so many different types of materials used to construct snare drums, including wood, steel, copper and brass, the snare can be tuned to an amazing number of tones and textures. Again, experiment with different tunings to find the tone that works for you.
I prefer a very tight, fat snare sound. To achieve this I start with the bottom snare head. Using the same technique as the bass drum, make sure the tension is even as you go around the head. I like to have the bottom head as tight as possible, which gives the snare a tight snap when I hit it. Use your own judgment.
The top head I tend to keep quite a bit looser, in order to "fatten" the snare sound. If you still have too much over ring, a small piece of duct tape will help to alleviate this. Place it approximately 1" from the rim of the snare, directly across from you (this will keep you from hitting that spot with your sticks).
Toms: Even tension on the top and bottom heads is critical for good tom tone. You may want to take each drum off the mount to tune the bottom head (using the same technique as above). Find a pitch that sounds good to your ear, and try to tune the drum to that pitch.
Again, there is no right or wrong tuning for your kit, as long as it sounds good to you. It will take a while to tune your kit, so don't get discouraged. The best advice I can give you is to use small increments when you begin to fine-tune the drums. 1/4 turns are usually more than enough.
One last tip. Placing the drum flat on a carpeted surface can also help when you are just learning to tune the drum. This dampens the other head, letting you hear just the head you are tuning.
Good luck friends, and Happy tuning!||||||||||||||||0||||||||||||||||||||||||0||~~minimum-quantity~~1~~need-ship~~1~~|^^|drummus||link.||||perguid||||||||Drum/Percussion Music||||schoolbanin inren perguid||School Band Instruments > School Band Instruments > Percussion Guide > ||||||||||||||||0||0||0||0||||||||||||||||||||||||0||||||||||||||||||||||||0||~~minimum-quantity~~1~~need-ship~~1~~|^^|drumsfaq||item.||page.||drumsticks||||||||Drums FAQ||||drumsticks||Drum Kits > ||||||||Drum Questions Answered||||||||0||1||0||0||||||||
FAQ
Drums & Percussion
What are brushes for? The use of brushes in drum set and percussion playing is a dying art. The older "drum masters" could really make the brushes "sing". Brushes are a flared bundle of thin wires that come in "fixed" or "telescopic" versions. The thin wires, when drawn across a coated drumhead, makes a soft "swoosh" sound reminiscent of the sound of an old 78 record playing on a phonograph. The two brushes are moved in patterns that create rhythms. Different patterns create different rhythms. Brushes are also used to create different sounds often in softer playing situations in the place of sticks. Brushes come with Wooden handles in the "fixed" version and in rubber handles in both the "telescopic" and "fixed" versions. Developing good brush technique will not only add depth to your playing, it will also improve your stick "chops" as well. What is a Cymbal? There are many different types of cymbals and as many different kinds of applications! The cymbal is a wonderful "color" or "voice" that can actually set the mood of the music. They can add soft, warm swells that crescendo to wonderful climaxing musical heights. Cymbals, often mistaken for just brass, are made of a combination of multiple alloys. Any one can analyze cymbals to discover the metal alloys used and the content of each, but the combination and process (when and how each are combined) to create each brand are closely guarded century old secrets. The most common metal alloy combinations are nickel combined with copper that is laced with silver. Brass is used in some cymbals, but typically those are less expensive cymbals. Another popular alloy used is bronze. Cymbal types range from those used with the drum set to those used in symphonic and marching applications. Cymbals can be struck with sticks or mallets creating a variety sound possibilities. Concert and symphonic cymbals are generally played in pairs, striking one against the other although these can be struck with sticks or mallets as well. Cymbal types include hi-hats, splashes, crashes, rides, china types, effect (various bells, etc..) as well as suspended cymbals and concert/symphonic and marching crash cymbals.
What is a China Cymbal? A China cymbal is a uniquely shaped cymbal that has a flared edge. This "flange" interrupts the vibration moment of the cymbal and effectively reduces the amount of sustain. The cup of the china cymbal is also more pronounced than on other cymbals. Today's China cymbal evolved from cymbals from the Orient where they are used for everything from funeral marches to New Years celebrations to events of religious significance. Those "authentic" Chinas (which are still available today) are heavier than those that have been developed for Western music. Most Chinas used in drum set application are played inverted (upside down) with the flat-side of the flanged edge facing the drummer. Chinas are offer in 8", 10", 12", 14", 16", 18", 20", 22" and 24" diameters. The China has a sound that is best described as "trashy" and is generally quite loud. They are great for accent punches in the music. A China with rivets is known as a Swish Knocker. Chinas make a wonderful addition to any set-up.
What is a Crash Cymbal? Crash cymbals are generally "thinner" cymbals, that have a very smooth "crash" sound when struck. Crash cymbals can be used to accentuate "hits" or "punches" in the music and you will often hear a crash cymbal resolving a musical phrase. Crash cymbals come in many sizes and weights and are capable of creating a variety of sounds from a quick almost "splash" quality, to a shimmering brilliant long decay. The typical "first" crash for a drummer is the 16" medium crash although they range in size from 13" to 20". The weight of a crash cymbal effects the pitch and the volume of the cymbal. Different manufacturers indicate the "weight" of their cymbals differently, but general a thinner cymbal will be higher in pitch and lower in volume. In addition to striking the cymbal with the stick, Crash cymbals can be rolled on with sticks and mallets. They can also create different sounds by being played on the bell and by lightly striking the edge. There is no limit to the amount of cymbals a drummer can use. Be creative and use your imagination in designing your cymbal set up.
What is a Hi-Hat Cymbal? The hi-hat cymbal is a combination of two cymbals mounted on top of each other (outer edge to outer edge in a "flying saucer" fashion). These hi-hat cymbals are mounted on a foot-actuated stand that has a center pull rod. The bottom cymbal rests on a "cup" that not only supports the cymbal, it allows angle adjustments to be made on the cymbal to provide a variety of sound. The top hi hat cymbal is suspended from a "clutch" that is attached to the center pull-rod. The pull-rod is activated with the foot pedal on the hi-hat stand. This pull-rod opens and closes the two cymbals. Playing the hi hat cymbals while opening and closing the cymbals provides a very broad range of sounds and effects. The hi hat cymbals are a crucial part of the drum set anatomy. Hi-hats are usually a major force in the time-keeping effort of the drummer.
What is a Ride Cymbal? Ride cymbals are generally the largest in diameter and heaviest cymbal in a drummer's set up. Primarily used as a time keeping device, the drummer will play an ostinato pattern to support the syncopated rhythms of the bass drum and snare drum. Most Ride Cymbals have a more pronounced bell which can be used to accent on or off the beat. There are a great variety of sizes and weights to choose from when selecting a ride. Two factors play a significant roll in sound of a cymbal, diameter and weight. Generally a larger diameter will produce a lower pitch and longer sustain while a heavier cymbal tends to have a higher pitch. Ride Cymbals can range in sound from a dry quick decay with very little overtone qualities, to a shimmering brilliant long decay. A good place to start when looking for your first ride cymbal would be a medium weight 20" cymbal. Of course, your ear will make the final decision as to which ride is right for you. Although Drummers will typically have more than one crash cymbal, most will only have one Ride Cymbal.
What is a Splash Cymbal? Appropriately named, splash cymbals add a "splash" of color to your playing. Splash cymbals are smaller diameter, thinner cymbals that render a quick responsive decay. A sound very similar to the "choke" effect created when grabbing a crash cymbal after it is struck. This quick bright attack and short decay is how the Splash acquired its name. The splash can also fall under the effects cymbal category, although typically it is in its own class. Splash cymbals sizes are 6", 8", 10", and 12". Splash cymbals are a great add-on cymbal to the standard cymbal set-up.
What is a 4 Piece Kit? When referring to a drum kit, the word "piece" usually implies the number of drums that make up the kit. For example, a four-piece drum kit would consist of four drums. Most drum kits include additional hardware that is not "counted" in the number of pieces, so you usually get more than you think when you buy a kit. A standard four-piece kit would consist of (1) bass drum, (1) snare drum, (1) mounted tom and (1) floor tom. The size of each can vary so be sure you get the measurements before you make your decision.
What is a 5 Piece Kit? When referring to a drum kit, the word "piece" usually implies the number of drums that make up the kit. For example, a five-piece drum kit would consist of five drums. Most drum kits include additional hardware that is not "counted" in the number of pieces, so you usually get more than you think when you buy a kit. A standard five-piece kit would consist of (1) bass drum, (1) snare drum, (2) mounted toms and (1) floor tom. The size of each can vary so be sure you get the measurements before you make your decision.
What is a Fusion Kit and what makes it different than the standard 5 Piece Kit? When drummers refer to "fusion kits" they are generally speaking of drum kits that include smaller drums than one would considered standard. This term came about due to the fact that many popular drummers playing the "fusion" style of music, were incorporating these smaller drums in their set ups. The determining factor in classifying a kit as "fusion" on the marsmusic.com web site are that the kit includes a 10" and a 12" mounted tom and a 14" suspended floor tom. Of course there are exceptions to every rule, but this will start you in the right direction.
What is a 6 Piece Kit? When referring to a drum kit, the word "piece" usually implies the number of drums that make up the kit. For example, a six-piece drum kit would consist of six drums. Most drum kits include additional hardware that is not "counted" in the number of pieces, so you usually get more than you think when you buy a kit. A standard six-piece kit would consist of (1) bass drum, (1) snare drum, (2) mounted toms and (2) floor toms. The size of each can vary so be sure you get the measurements before you make your decision.
What is a BeBop Kit? A Bebop drum set is generally a drum set that is either a 4 Piece or 5 Piece Set-up with Drums that are smaller is size than it's Standard Size Drum Counter-Part. Typically the BeBop kit will have a smaller 18" bass drum with an 8", 10" or 10", 12" mounted toms and a 14" floor or suspended floor tom. The toms may vary in depth, but tend to be on the shallow side. The snare drum may vary from 12", 13" or 14" diameters. These kits are typically used for smaller jazz, stage, or BeBop bands and are preferred for their smaller size. This allows for higher tenor pitches and the set's small size allows it to be more portable and compact for smaller rooms and stages.
What is a Drum Set Add-On? Drum set add-ons are drums that you can add to your existing drum set to expand your current set-up. Drum set add-ons can include extra mounted toms and floor-toms, extra bass drums, and even side snares. Some of the most popular of these is the 8" and 10" add-on toms. Extra bass drums are the next most popular because they allow the drummer to expand his single bass drum set to a double bass drum set. Roto-Toms are another popular add-on because they are a way of adding three (3) toms in an economical and space-saving way. Add-ons are a popular gift request for many drummers.
What is a Junior Kit? A junior kit, is typically a ¾ scale sized drum set that is built with the same features as a full-size drum set. Ideal for the young player, these small sets will get your little drummer on the right track.
What is a Drum Machine? A drum machine is a programmable unit that contains actual or simulated drum sounds. These sounds cover virtually all the sounds of all the percussion instruments and in many cases whimsical sounds like barking dogs and car horns. Most of these machines can be programmed for loop patterns or for complete songs, and most can even be programmed for an entire night's performance. The drum machine also provides "click-track" and metronome features to aid with both practice and performance. Drum machines feature a line out for initiating the start of the machine via a "hit" pad or a foot pedal. Many drum machines feature midi capability, so that the drum machine sounds can be triggered using "triggers" attached to your acoustic drums or by running your electronic drums though the unit. Another great feature of some units is their ability to have the pitch of all the sounds fluctuate so that they can be in tune with the music. One of the greatest developments is the use of the drum machine with many of the new personal computer virtual studio programs. This allows the user to record drum set patches without the set-up, miking, and sound control problems often faced with studio drumming. The greatest thing about drum machines today….you do not need a P.H.D. to operate them. A drum machine is a great addition to any drummers set-up and can help take your playing to the next level!!
What are Drum Microphones? Drum microphones are microphones that are specifically designed and equalized for the broad sound spectrum and high sound pressure levels drums produce. The microphones have specially designed "diaphragms" that can more accurately replicate the sound that each drum produces. Many of these microphones are miniature in size and feature special clamps or clips to allow them to be attached to the drums with ease, saving the need for microphone stands. There are two types of microphones that are generally used on drums, dynamic and condenser. Dynamic mics work well on the snare, tom and bass drum while condensers are more often used as overheads for the cymbals. Budget and sound will most likely dictate which mics are right for you.
What is a Drumhead? The drumhead is the resonant membrane made of either natural skin or synthetic Mylar that provides the playing surface and resonant side for the drum. The batter drumhead is the head that is on the playing side of the drum. The bottom head is referred to as the resonant head (or in the case of the snare drum, the snare side head). There are many different styles of drumheads for as many different percussion instruments. Drumheads come in different diameters to suit the many different sized drums. You will find that there are single-ply (a single sheet of Mylar), double-ply (two sheets of Mylar), oil-filled (oil suspended between the two pieces of Mylar) and stretched natural animal skin. Coated heads offer a texturized surface that works well with brushes and helps to eliminate overtones.
What is a Single-Ply Head? The single-ply drumhead is a drumhead that is a single piece of Mylar (usually .5 or 7.5 or 10 mil.) that is formed and mounted on an aluminum or resin collar-ring. Usually the single-ply head provides a brighter tone with more overtones, unless coated (a light stipple finish that is sprayed onto the playing surface) which provide a more mid-range tone. The single-ply heads thickness ranges from super-thin, to medium weight and are ideal for extra-light to general-purpose use.
What is a Double-Ply Head? A double-ply head consists of a double thickness of Mylar (2 plies of 7 mil or a total of 14mil.) that is formed and mounted on an aluminum or resin collar-ring. The second layer of Mylar adds strength and durability while effectively muting unwanted overtones. The double-ply head is preferred by the drummer that is looking for a sound that is somewhat muted without having to use external or internal muffling devices. The double-ply head is great both in the studio and live. Preferred by pop and rock players, these heavyweight heads can handle a lot of abuse.
What is a Pinstripe drumhead? The Pinstripe drumhead is actually a double-ply head with a specially applied adhesive at the edge, and a pinstripe molded into the Mylar. These heads appear to have oil suspended between the plies, but this is actually an optical illusion created by prismatic refraction of the light passing through the two Mylar layers. The Pinstripe head has a sound that is even more muted than that of the regular double-ply head. This head is most preferred by those looking for that "wet", dark sound from their drums.
Why do most snare drums have a coated head? Also known as the brush coat, this coating (usually white) was first applied to provide the "drag" or roughness needed for the sound created when brushes are used. The coating is sprayed-on to create a slight "Stipple" finish. This coating also helps to eliminate unwanted overtones. Most often found on the snare drum, coated heads will work equally well on all of the drums. Don't be afraid to experiment with your drumhead selection, you may stumble upon a completely new sound!
Some Drumheads are white, some clear, and some black. Is there a difference? There are many factors that determine how a drumhead will sound. Whether or not the manufacturer intended for a black head to sound different from a clear head of the same thickness and diameter, my experience indicates that they do indeed sound different. If you were to compare a clear 10" ambassador and an Ebony 10" ambassador on the same drum, I think the Ebony head has a slightly darker tone with a little less ring. Evans makes a series of "Hydraulic" heads that come in blue, black and clear. Again, each one sounds a little different. Of course coating a drumhead will effect the sound as well. Many drummers will use a head with some color on the resonant side of their drums just for the visual effect. Trial and error is the only truly effective way to determine the head combination that will work best for you.
What is an electronic drum kit? Electronic drum kits are a drum set comprised of electronic drum pads instead of acoustic drums. These drum pads are built to respond like an acoustic drum and usually feature a real or simulated drumhead. Underneath the "head" of the pad is an electronic trigger (or impact sensor). This trigger senses the amount of force applied and reacts dynamically, just like an acoustic drum. The impact "triggers" a computer sound module to play the voice selected for that pad. These "sounds" can range from electronically created effects to "sampled" sounds of actual drums. Today's electronic drum kits offer drummers the ability to compose and play complete compositions right from the drum kit. Their compact size, along with the ability to control the overall volume output makes electronic drums ideal for small venues. Equipped with a built in metronome, play along song tracks and auxiliary inputs for cd players, makes the electronic drum set the ultimate practice kit as well. Welcome to the new Millennium. Welcome to the world of electronic percussion.
Can I combine electronic drums with my acoustic drum set? Absolutely! Integrating electronic drums into your acoustic set-up actually gives you the best of both worlds. You will want to make sure that the interface (sound module) that you choose will allow you "trigger" off of acoustic drums. The Yamaha DTX sound module (available at marsmusic.com) will accommodate acoustic triggers. The great thing about triggering your acoustic drums is that you can assign sounds like congas, vibes, or trumpets to any drum on your kit. Talk about the ultimate snare sound, you can layer five different snare drum sound to trigger off of your existing snare. Look out Journey ballad! Also, you can have access to hundreds of different drum sounds, which can allow you to better emulate cover songs.
What is the difference between an electronic drum pad and a practice pad? Quite a bit! A practice pad is a fairly simple device designed to give you a surface to practice on without making to much noise. Practice pads come in many sizes and materials. Most practice pads, rather that trying to simulate the feel of an acoustic drum are designed to give you either maximum or minimum rebound, allowing you to develop different techniques.
An electronic drum pad is a device used to "trigger" a sound module. Electronic drum pads come in many different shapes and sizes as well. Generally, electronic pads do try to emulate the feel of an acoustic drum. If possible, try to match the manufacturer of your interface (sound module) to that of the pad you would like to add. Some pads have a single trigger while others have multiple triggers. A pad with multiple triggers can allow you to play two different sounds on the same pad (one in the center of the drum and one on the rim). Also cymbal "choke" effects can be achieved by actually grabbing the cymbal. Of course much of this has to do with the interface you are using. Most electronic pads produce no sound at all without an interface.
What is ethnic and hand percussion? If you will pardon the pun, the terms ethnic and hand percussion go "hand in hand". The two terms are interchangeable. Hand percussion of course refers to percussion instruments designed to be struck by the hand. There are many different types of hand percussion instruments including ashinkos, asongas, cowbells, and agogo bells, wood and temple blocks, bodhran, bongos, cabasa, wind chimes, claves, congas, djembe, dumbeks and doumbek, frame drums, guiro, maracas, ocean drums, rain sticks, shakers and special effect items. This is but a small example of the incredible variety of hand percussion instruments available, each with its own unique sound and playing style. Check out the ethnic and world percussion area at marsmusic.com to learn more.
What are congas? Specifically, Conga is the name given to a specific sized hand drum with a head diameter of (11 ¾"), but the term Conga is traditionally associated with a pair of drums consisting of (1) Conga and either (1) Quinto drum or (1) Tumba drum. The Quinto drum is (11") in diameter, the Conga drum is (11 ¾"), and the Tumba-or Tumbadora is (12 ½"). Some companies offer an additional drum known as the ReQuinto (9 ¾"). Congas originated in West Africa, but the version that you see today is based totally on Cuban design. The common height for the Congas are 28"-30" tall. They feature natural animal-skin heads and are played with the hand! Congas can be played while sitting or standing and are designed for both. There are Conga stands and cradles as well as Conga feet and each is designed for different playing positions.
What is the anatomy of the Conga? The typical Conga starts with the shell. The Shell is usually wooden, but there are fiberglass models as well. At the top of the shell is the head (or skin as it is sometimes called). The rim or crown holds the head in place and is used to tune the drum. The rim may be a chrome or raw metal ring. Lugs or tension-hooks hold the Rim to the drum, they are also the devices used to apply tension to tune the drum. The lugs pass through a tension plate that is attached to the side of the drum. Below the opening in the tension plate is a tension-nut that is attached to the lug or tension-hook. The tension-nut is what is actually tightened applying reverse pressure against the tension-plate and provides the tuning for the head. There is usually a stand mounting bracket, which holds the drum to a stand. There will usually be a logo badge on the drum that identifies the manufacturer. Finally, there is usually a rubber base ring at the bottom of the drum for those that like to play seated.
How is the Wooden Conga Made? Typically wooden congas are produced using North American Oak or Thailand Plantation Grown Siam Oak. The tree is harvested and allowed to dry (or Cure). The tree is then sliced into identical wooden slats called staves. These are allowed to further cure. The staves are precision cut on custom machines that cut compound miter joints and then are glued and placed in shaping molds. This process is much like the process used to manufacture barrels. Most manufacturers use steel pins between the staves to bolster reinforcement and strength to the shell. Once the glued forms are dry, they are removed from the molds and allowed to cure even more. After they have cured, the raw forms are turned and shaped into the smooth surface that makes the Conga shell. Multiple coats of a finish are applied to the shell inside and out. The inside finish is to prevent moisture absorption and the outside is buffed to a beautiful finish!
How do I tune Congas? Let's first establish that tuning is very much a matter of opinion. Your goal should be to achieve maximum tonal resonance for each drum. Using your ears to guide you, start with the lugs completely loosened to the point that the drum is incapable of producing a tone when struck. Finger-tighten all of the lugs, using lug oil on the lug if needed. Once all of the lugs are finger tight, identify a starting lug. Start with that lug and tighten ½ turn with the wrench. Moving clockwise tighten around the drum with those ½ turns until the specific pitch desired for that drum is achieved. Remember these basic pitch parameters: Quinto/smallest drum = highest pitch, Conga/medium drum = middle range pitch and Tumba/largest drum = lowest pitch. When tuning to pitches, start with middle C and tune your Conga (middle drum) to C. Tune the other drums to a 4-step interval (intervals of a 4th) up or down depending on the drum. An easy way to remember this is to sing the Wedding March, "Here comes the bride." Make "here" the Tumba tone and "comes" the Conga tone. This interval is a 4th.
What are Bongos? The Bongos originated in West Africa, but the shape and instrument that we know today is strictly an evolution of the West African that developed in Cuba. Bongos are traditionally played in pairs and were originally designed to be played supported between the knees. Most modern percussionists play standing, so Bongo stands are a popular accessory. The smaller Bongo is called the "Macho" meaning male and is usually a 7 ¼" drum. The larger Bongo is called the "Hembra" meaning female and is usually a 8 5/8" drum. There are some manufacturers that produce a slightly larger 9" drum for those seeking a deeper voice and there is also a smaller drum produced as well.
What is the anatomy of the Bongo? Start with the shell. Most Bongos have wooden shells, but some are produced with fiberglass. At the top of the shell is the head or skin, then the rim or crown which holds the head. The rim may be a chrome or raw metal ring. Lugs or tension-hooks hold the rim to the drum, which are also the devices tensioned to tune the drum. The lugs pass through a bottom edge ring at the base of the drum. The ring at the bottom of the drum is usually a cast piece with holes in it. Below the opening in the bottom edge ring is a tension-nut that is attached to the lug or tension-hook. The tension-nut is what is actually tightened applying reverse pressure against the bottom edge ring and provides the tuning for the head. Instead of a stand mounting bracket, the Bongos are usually attached using a tension strap or a bolt passed through the piece of wood that attaches the two Bongos, which is known as the bridge. The hold the Bongos to a Bongo stand. There will usually be a logo badge on the Drum that identifies the manufacturer.
What are percussion accessories? Percussion accessories are any percussion item that is used to accessorize your percussion set-up. Percussion accessory items may include, but not be limited to: cases and bags, claws-clamps-mounts and brackets, Conga and Bongo parts, replacement heads, percussion stands and percussion tables.
What is drum hardware? Drum hardware is any device that is used to support, hold, suspend, or in any some cases, makes playable a percussion instrument. Drum hardware can include: tripod-based cymbal, tom, snare, hi-hat or multi-percussion stands, as well as, racks, percussion tables, mounts, cymbal and tom arms, bass drum pedals, and cradles.
What is a snare basket? A snare basket is the three-arm (usually collapsible) basket that supports the snare drum on top of the stand. This basket is usually designed to tighten up to the base of the snare drum's bottom rim. Usually this allows the basket to accept different sized snare drums easily. There are specially designed baskets that have a different shape to compensate for the use of a smaller sized snare drum.
What are drum accessories? Drum accessories are any drum items that are used to accessorize your drum set. These items may include but not be limited to: books, videos, polish, snare cord, cases, bags, stick depots, floor mats, cymbal springs, drum gloves, decals, clutches, arms, cymbal stackers, drum keys, floor tom legs, multi-clamps, pedal straps, springs, hinges, snare wires, tension rods, swivel nuts, tom arms, cymbal felts, washers, sleeves, wing nuts, bass drum beaters, metronomes, muffling devices, practice pads, special holders and tuners.
What is a Mallet? A mallet, much like the drum stick, is a tool for playing a drum or percussion instrument. The distinguishing difference is that a mallet has a "head" on the end of it. The handles on mallets can range from drum stick shaped to a thin piece of rattan or fiberglass. For every percussion instrument, there are many choice of mallets to play that instrument. Mallet "heads" can range from lambs wool fleece to hard phenolic balls. Most instruments have a range of mallets that are designed to provide anything from a soft, light-attack sound to a hard, heavy attack sound.
What are the different kinds of mallets? There are so many mallet categories. Here Goes: Percussion KeyBoard Mallets: These aremallets that are specifically designed for use with the percussion keyboard mallet instruments. They are: Orchestra bell mallets: These mallets are made specifically for use on orchestra bells. They range from hard brass to hard phenolic plastic headed. The handle material may be fiberglass, birch, or rattan. Chime mallets: These mallets are designed for use specifically with chimes. They are usually made of a wooden handle with a rawhide hammerhead. Vibraphone mallets: There are many different mallets for use on the Vibraphone. Since the Vibraphone is made of metal bars and has a vibrato generator, the mallets are designed to provide nice attack, but to bring out the ultimate resonance feature of the bars. The head types range from cord wound to yarn wound and may be round or mushroom in shape. The handle material may be fiberglass (usually for marching), birch or rattan handles. Vibe mallets are typically shorter than other keyboard mallets to allow for more speed. Xylophone mallets: The Xylophone has dense rosewood bars and typically is called on to produce a rich-woody sound. You will find many different mallet types available for the Xylophone. For softer sounds, Marimba mallets can be used as a crossover mallet. For more mellow tones there are soft, medium-soft, medium, and hard rubber heads. For a more "brittle" or "dancing bones" sound, there are rosewood heads. The shapes of the heads are usually round or oval. The handle material may be fiberglass (usually for marching), birch, or rattan. Marimba mallets: The Marimba is a beautiful instrument that is called on in different musical styles for different sounds. The bars are usually rosewood and require that you use the correct mallets on them. You will usually find softer and "rounder" tones are the typical assignment for the Marimba. The mallet heads can be extra-soft-core, soft-core, medium-core and hard-core-yarn, as well as, extra-soft, soft, medium, and hard rubber. The head can be round, oval and can range in size from small to extra-large (for big bass tones). The handle material may be fiberglass (usually for marching), birch or rattan.
Percussion Instrument Mallets: These are Mallets that are Specifically designed for use with all the various Percussion Instruments used today. They Are: Multi-percussion mallets: These mallets are for cross-over work especially when you are covering multiple percussion parts. That may range from work in the percussion ensemble, concert/symphonic, or drum corps pit work. These are usually regular medium sized drumsticks with a medium-felt head on the butt end of the stick. They can be used to cover suspended cymbal rolls, tenor-tom work, or even timpani work. Suspended cymbal mallets: There are mallets that are specifically made for suspended cymbal use. These mallets are usually a birch wooden shaft with a yarn wound head with densities ranging from soft, medium and hard. Some percussionist use keyboard mallets for this purpose as well, usually a medium-weight Marimba mallet. There are also mallets with small round wood heads for bright cymbal rolls. Gong mallets: Gong mallets include many different sizes because there are many different size gongs. Most gong mallets are fleece covered felt or rubber cores. Typically the larger round mallets are for large Gongs, Tam-Tams, and Nipple Gongs. The small Gongs, Gamelons, and Tuned Gongs use a fleeced covered mallet with a core in the shape of a "hockey-puck". There are some companies that offer a Gong mallet that resembles a large cord or yarn wound keyboard mallet. The handle shaft material is usually maple. Remember to softly prime a Gong before striking it! Timpani mallets: Timpani mallets are designed specifically for use with the Timpani. Typically, Timpani mallets should avoid being used on other instruments. Timpani mallets include wood heads for hard, loud attacks, hard-small-tight felt heads for staccato use, medium felt for general purpose use, soft medium for softer general use, and large fluffy-soft felt for very large legato notes. The handle material can be rock maple, hickory, or bamboo. These mallets usually come in plastic pouches, in which they should be stored for extra protection. Avoid handling the ends of felt Timpani mallets as the oil on your hands can cause damage over time. Never allow the felt to get wet. Synthetic felt models are available for marching applications. Bass drum mallets: Bass drum mallets are mallets that are specifically designed for use with the bass drum. They range from large and medium sized fleece covered mallets for larger concert bass drums. Usually a larger fleece covered or soft felt mallet for singular use and medium fleece covered of soft felt mallets for rolls for parts where more notes or faster tempos are in effect. There are bass drum mallets that feature a head on both ends of the mallet for bass drum rolls. There are even specialty bass drum mallet lines that include multiple density heads for soft, general, and hard impact use. There are also two complete types of marching bass drum mallets. The hard felt mallets come in graduated sizes to coincide with the graduated bass drum sizes used as well as graduated sizes in a "fluffies" or "puffies" which are extra soft fleece heads. The handle materials for bass drum mallets can be maple, hickory, or treated dense wood composite and aluminum. Make sure you are buying the correct bass drum mallet for the correct application. Marching Multi-Tenor mallets: Marching Multi-Tenor mallets are designed specifically for field use on Multi-Tenors. The heads on these mallets can be wood, acrylic, hard felt, extra-soft felt ("fluffies) or rubber. They can be round heads or cylindrical heads (called "cookies"). The handle material can be maple, fiberglass, synthetic dense wood, or aluminum. You may find multi-tenor players with several different mallets in their "quill", all for different dynamics or musical effects.
What is a snare drum? Snare drums come in types and varieties. In general terms a snare drum is a drum that is typically shallower than the toms and has a precision cut "snare-bed" in the bottom bearing edge. Snare drums come in wood shell and metal shell drums. The drum has a special device on the side called the "throw-off" which allows the user to actuate the snare sound, thus allowing the drum to switch between that of the tom sound and snare sound. The snare is a grouping of spiral wires that are stretched across the bottom head and the throw-off allows the tension of the snares to be adjusted for a "tighter" or "looser" snare sound. The snare drum is the drum that is generally used to provide the "back-beat" of the music. Snare drums usually become the drummer's "babies" and the drummer will have several of them, many times customizing the drum.
What is a metal shell snare drum? Metal snare drums are available in many different kinds of metal. Usually a steel Shell is the most popular of the metal shells. Other popular metal shell choices are brass and copper. Steel is the most powerful and cutting of these, with brass and copper providing a warmer, darker sound. Metal shells will, however, be brighter sounding than their wood counter-part. Metal shells are "rolled" from a single sheet of metal with a "hidden" seam. There are some custom manufactured metal snare drums that are lathed from a solid piece of metal. In metal shell snare drums, the snare bed is "pressed" into the bearing edge.
What is a wood shell snare drum? Wood shell snare drums are available in many different kinds of woods and many different numbers of plies. The most popular wood choice is maple. Maple provides a much stronger "cracking" sound and a more pronounced projection. Another popular wood choice is birch. Birch provides a warmer more mellow sound, usually preferred for studio application. Most wood snare drums are fabricated from wood plies, some are "solid-shell" drums, which is a drum shell "bent" from a solid piece of wood. The snare bed is routed in the bottom of the drums bearing edge to allow the snare to vibrate or "float" to provide vibration of the snare wires.
Equipment
Drumset - A collection of different percussion instruments including but not limited to bass drum, operated with a foot pedal, snare drum, cymbals, and toms. It is generally meant to be played by one person, although at times can be played by more than one.
I'm looking to get into playing drumset. What should I buy?
Sets
Q: What should I look for when buying my first drumset?
A:New beginner sets these days are generally decent if you are in the $800+ range, drums only. Used sets go for varying money depending on the condition and general quality, if the seller knows what he has. Always check bearing edges, shell roundness, head seating, shell damage, and hardware damage such as pitting or rust completely before buying, especially on used drums. There are many books available to educate you about older and vintage drums. RMMP is always a good source for the current best buys on quality beginner sets.
Q: What if I can't afford a drumset? Will a practice pad or just a snare drum be OK to start?
A: Using one drum to build coordination with your hands at first is a good idea. If you already can play a simple beat on a friend’s drumset, this may not be satisfying, and for not much more than the cost of a student snare kit, you can buy a fairly decent used drumset if you look. Eventually you will have to make the decision to buy a drumset.
Q: Who are some major makers of drumsets? How much does their equipment cost? How can I get in touch with a particular manufacturer?
A: Companies that make their own drums include two categories; assembly line mass produced drums and custom hand made drum companies. Major manufacturers at this writing include Ludwig, Slingerland, Pearl, Yamaha, Tama, Premier, Sonor, and Gretsch. There are many more, and for the most part the former are mass producers to a great degree, and most make student quality drums.
Handmade drums include Spaun, Kenner, Fibes, J&J, and Baltimore Drum companies. At this writing there are probably hundreds of independent makers of drums. Retail cost of a drumset including hardware and four drums ranges from several hundred to several thousand dollars. Most all these companies have some form of contact available over the web. Use a search engine to find them such as http://www.lycos.com.
Standard drum diameters of a five piece set are 22" bass drum, 12" and 13" mounted, or rack toms, and a 16" floor tom. A jazz kit would be 20-10-12-14.
Snares Snares are the main part of any drum kit, as they tend to be the most recognizable sound of a kit. Think of Kenny Aronoff’s snare sound for a very famous example. Snare drums are available in a very wide variety of sizes and are made from a very wide variety of materials. One drum company recently made a snare out of cymbal metal! A snare is identified by the raspy sound it makes, caused by a bed of wires stretched across the bottom of the drum. The bottom head is usually very thin, to bring out this raspy quality. The wires can be turned on or off via a lever of varying mechanics, resulting is a tom like sound when turned off. Sizes of snares range from diameters of 6" to 16" and depths from 2" to 12". Standard sizes these days are generally 13 or 14 inches in diameter, and 3 to 8 inches in depth. You may also encounter 5.5 and 6.5 inch deep snare drums. Piccolo snares are 3 or 4 inches deep, and 13 or 14 inches across. Snare shells are made from all types of wood. Metal shell snares are made from alloys like steel, carbon fiber, and brass, bronze, copper, and aluminum. It usually takes many years of experience and searching to find your sound. Good luck!
Q: Why does my snare drum rattle or buzz when I hit my toms, or from the bass guitar?
A: This type of rattle is called sympathetic vibration. It is caused when the snares (metal strands on bottom) vibrate or resonate in harmony with the same frequencies produced by the toms or bass guitar, or similar sound source. It can be reduced by changing the tension on the toms, snare or both, and by dampening either. It never goes away entirely, and can be heard on many professional recordings. It is a character of your drums, since they are acoustic instruments, and should be regarded as such. This rattle is generally not noticeable in a live sound situation, such as a concert or show. It the snare rattles when you strike the snare drum, please reference the Tuning section of this FAQ.
Toms Toms are the smaller drums of the drumset, generally mounted on the bass drum. Floor toms are set on the floor by using small legs to support them. Toms can also be hung from a heavy cymbal or floor stand. The range in sizes from 6" to 20", with specialty drums as large as 22". A Tama Gong Bass is a good example of a specialty large tom. The depths of toms also vary. A 12" diameter tom is traditionally 8" deep, but can be shallower or deeper depending on how they are ordered. Deeper shells sound, well, deeper and more powerful, and are generally the choice for louder players. Many sets come standard with deep shells. Single headed toms are called melodic or concert toms. Melodic toms have a pronounced attack, a shorter sound, and seem louder than double headed drums. They were very popular in the seventies. Double headed toms are the most popular now, and were the toms of choice during the 40's-late 60's. They are also more difficult to tension, or tune.
Bass drums - for purposes of the FAQ, the largest of drumset items will be call the bass drum. Bass is pronounced like base. It is commonly referred to as 'kick drum' or simply 'kick', especially in the rec.pro.audio arena, so as not to confuse it with bass guitar during mixing, recording, etc. They are usually played using a pedal, and are set on their side on the floor. Set bass drums range in size from 16" to as big as you can deal with in terms of loudness, transportation and cost. Depths range from 14" to again, as deep as you can handle and afford. Traditional bass drum sizes are 14X22", 14X20", and 14X18". Power bass drum depth is usually around 16". Please refer to the muffling section on how to achieve sounds from a bass drum.
Orchestral by Dan Radin The orchestral percussion section can be called upon to play anything and everything to produce the sound in the composer's mind. It's not uncommon to see outlandish instruments such as "Starter Pistol", or "Pots and Pans" notated in parts. Essentially, the classical percussionist adds color and texture to the group.
Keyboards
Xylophone - commonly a 3 ½ octave instrument. Bars made of Rosewood (superior sound quality) or Kelon (stands up to wet weather and high volumes). Produces a dry, clean note. Played with plastic or rubber mallets.
Marimba - similar to a Xylophone, but more resonant, larger range (up to and including 5 octaves), and graduated bars. Has longer resonators, (tubes under the bars), than the Xylophone. Played with yarn or cord, rubber mallets.
Vibraphone - same design as a xylophone, with 3 ½ octaves, but with brass bars. As brass is far livelier than Rosewood, they have a felt damper running along each bar from below. The felt can be engaged or disengage, as on a piano, with a pedal. Often has a motor, which turns rotating discs in the resonators for a vibrato effect. More commonly found in jazz than classical music. Played with yarn, cord, or rubber mallets. The same instrument without the motor/disc assembly is called a Metallaphone.
Bells - smaller 2 ½ octave instrument. Has thin steel or aluminum bars, which produce a clear, bright sound. Often referred to as "Glockenspiel", the German name for the instrument. Played with plastic or brass mallets.
Tubular Chimes - tall (6') tubes, capped at one end, made of metal, held in a stand lengthwise, upright. 2 ½ octaves is the standard. As on the vibraphone, it has a damper pedal system. Played with rawhide or plastic mallets that look like hammers.
Timpani (kettledrums) - played in groups of 2-5 individual timpano, Sizes vary, but the common ones are 20", 23", 26", 29", and 32". Copper or less commonly fiberglass bowls with a head stretched across the top. A pedal system is implemented for tuning each drum. Timpani are tuned to actual notes in the bass scale. Some have tuning gauges so that the player can estimate the interval between notes pedaled. The pedal pulls down on the counterhoop, thus increasing the tension on the head, and raising the pitch. Often played on a stool, but on occasion, standing. Calf heads are preferred for warmth of tone, but synthetic is most common. Played with felt mallets in varying designs and hardness, as well as wooden mallets.
Snares - classical and orchestral snare drums do not differ drastically from their drumset counterparts. The major differences are in the features. Shells can be made of a wide variety of materials, depending the sound required. Those include woods (maple, birch, mahogany), and metals (brass, bronze, stainless steel, copper). Sizes vary drastically, from 3" to 12" in depth, and 10" through 17" in head diameter. Die cast hoops are common. They produce a drier sound, and assist in keeping even tunings. Snares are usually combinations of stainless steel cable (coated with plastic), gut, and curly wire (as on drumset snare drums). The different snare materials help to fine tune the resonance and control that attack. Some manufacturers offer systems with multiple types of snares combined for one drum. Heads are generally thin, and minimally dampened where necessary. Played mostly with wooden sticks, wire brushes or are also commonly played with bunches of twigs, called a Rute.
Bass drum - much like the drumset counterpart, the concert bass drum consists of a large wooden shell, with two heads stretched across the openings. The best bass drums are suspended by a stand with rubber straps, which allows the drum to tilt to accommodate the player, and isolates the shell for maximum resonance. Common sizes are around 36", but can be purchased between 28" and 40". Most orchestras use calfskin heads on their bass drums. The drum is played with felt or wooden mallets.
Cymbals
a.. Suspended - thin to medium weight cymbals, usually with a dark tone. Played on a stand, either as on the drumset, or suspended from a strap on a gooseneck stand. Sizes vary from 15" to 20". Played with soft mallets, wooden sticks, brushes, coins, and at times bowed with a bass bow.
Hand Cymbals - paired cymbals, held in the hands with straps. The cymbals are played in a "clashing" fashion to produce a ringing, sustaining sound. Thin cymbals are generally referred to as "French", mediums as "Viennese", and heavier cymbals as "Germanic". Sizes range from 13" to 24", with 18" Viennese as the most commonly used. Many effects other than the crash can be produce, depending on the desired sound. A choke is produced by clashing the cymbals together, then immediately dampening them to your breast.
Gongs, Tam Tams - the dark, sonorous sound of the gong can be heard in many orchestral works. Actually, what you may think of as a gong, is in actually a tam tam. A true gong is a smaller sized instrument, with a raised nipple in the center with a fixed pitch. Tam Tams are typically larger, and do not produce a musical pitch. Gongs can range around the 14" to 20" sizes, and tam tams are usually from 30" to 50". Different cultures, such a the different parts of Asia, produce different sounding cymbals, sounds, and effects. More can be learned about this topic at http://www.paiste.com , http://www.sabian.com , and http://www.zildjian.com .
Finger Cymbals - small, thick, 3" pairs of cymbals which are played against each others edges to produce a bright, cutting sound.
Crotales - sets of pitched cymbal-like instruments set up in keyboard fashion. Each 4" crotale is like a thick cymbal with a raised nipple on the bottom.
Triangle - a fittingly triangular instrument with an open corner. Made of metal, they can very radically in size and thickness. Played with brass and steel beaters in varying thickness.
Tambourine - 10" and 12" shallow wooden shells with cutouts for metal (chromium 25, nickel, silver, brass, bronze, copper) jingles to be inserted with pins. A head (goat or calfskin) is stretched across the top. It is played using many different techniques. Check out http://www.groverpro.com/techtalk.htm for more information.
Concert Toms - single headed drums played in sets of 2 to 8 or more. Sizes range from 6" to 18", and shells are made of wood. Played with wooden sticks, felt or yarn mallets, or other implements.
Other common items - percussionists carry a wide variety of equipment. A list of the most common follows. Castanets, woodblock, temple blocks, ratchets, whistles, ribbon crashers, cowbells, timbales, congas, bongos, claves, windchimes, and handbells.
C. Cymbals
Q: What’s the best cymbal cleaner?
A: Over a long period of time the two most widely recommended cleaners are Groove Juice, a spray on, scrub, rinse off cleaner, and Wright’s Copper Cream, requiring a bit more elbow grease. Both work very well, but there are many other cleaners and compounds available at your local music store and at your grocer as well.

E. Muffling/achieving sounds by Lyle Caldwell
This is one of the areas where tempers flare. People tend to fall into various well-defended camps on this issue, so in the interest of fairness, the writer will try to provide the arguments on each side of the issue.
First, what is drum muffling? In short, drum muffling is affixing some material or substance to the shell or head of a drum, with the result being a change in the drum's duration, timbre, and/or volume. Common examples range from pillows in bass drums to duct tape on toms. We'll describe the various methods later in detail. At this point I'd like to suggest that rather than calling it "muffling," we should call it "Drum Treatment," as true muffling is only one of the objectives at hand.
Should I treat my drums?
Here's the problem area. We'll first explain the situations where Treatment is a commonly suggested remedy, before subdividing into the "Yes" and "Hell No" groups. This writer is firmly in the "Maybe, It Depends" camp.
The toms ring out too long. This can be problematic in a situation where the drums are being recorded or amplified with microphones. More on this later.
The snare rings out, or is "boingy" or metallic. This can also be a problem, mic'd or unmic'd. There is also the school of thought holds that what might sound bad to the drummer sounds great from the audience's perspective. Again, this will be addressed in more detail later.
The bass drum rings out, or is too boomy, or is in anyway unsatisfactory. Even drummers who believe that toms and snares should be unTreated often use some form of Treatment on the bass drum. Once again, stay tuned for more on this.
While less common, often drummers Treat their cymbals as well, to change the sound, decay, and even pitch of their drums. This can range from tape to rivets. This too will be addressed in more depth later.
Drums are too loud. This is especially obvious to the neighbors of apartment-dwelling drummers. This can be separate from the aesthetic debate as to Drum Treatment, as it is often unarguably necessary, but there are situations where it may not be a good idea. And yes, we'll get to this one, too.
Drum Tuning Before going any further, let me first reiterate how important it is to have well maintained and tuned drums. Please refer to the Tuning section of the FAQ for an in-depth discussion of this subject. Let me just say for now that Treatment is often used to disguise bad tuning or old heads, and unless it is truly your only option, this should be avoided. Make sure the drum is well tuned (to your liking) before any Treatment is added. One reason is that it can be impossible to tune a Treated drum, but the most compelling reason is that no one cares to polish a turd. It's a waste of time.
Let the Debate Begin! First, let's take a look at the reasons why you may want to Treat your drums. At any rate, you should be familiar with the various ways and reasons to Treat your drums, as you never know what playing environment you may find yourself in.
The Pros of Treatment
First, it can be a very valid aesthetic decision to Treat your drums. With Treatment, you can customize the sound, tone, pitch, and decay of your drums to your taste. That said, the drum head affects this decision process no end. A coated Evans G1 sounds very different from a Remo Pinstripe, so each head needs different approaches to Treatment. Refer to the section on Drum Heads in the FAQ for more information on this. Even if common problems with ringing, decay, overtones, etc. can be addressed by tuning and head selection, Treatment can also give you sounds unavailable with tuning alone.
Let's take a look at common ways to Treat drums. Tape It's not pretty, but if you're playing a gig and the sound person says your rack tom is booming out too much, duct tape (or electrical tape, or gaffer's tape) can be your best friend. In general, it is best to use more than one small piece of tape rather than one large one. This way you can gradually adjust the sound of each drum, rather than a hit-or-miss approach. The objective is to tape the drum so that the playing surface is unaffected by the tape. For a snare or tom with a diameter of 14" or less, often two small strips of tape (say, 3" long) are often all that is needed.
Try placing them directly opposite each other, but out of the way of the playing surface. Their distance from the rim of the drum affects the tonality and decay of the drum, and is therefore a very personal choice, but about 1" from the rim is a good starting point. It is also possible to tape the resonant head of a drum, but less tape is usually used, unless you just want a "thud" (which you may).
Experiment.
With experimentation in mind, here is a good tip when using tape: Say you want a 3" piece of tape on the drum head. Cut a 7" piece of tape, and fold it in the following manner: _/\_/\_ (forgive the art)
so that each section is 1" long. When it's folded and applied to the drum, you should have a 3" section of tape with two flat "handles" sticking up, like this:
_\\|\\_\\|\\_
Now if you change your mind about the tape placement, it's easy to grasp by the "handles" and move it around, without having to pry the edge of the tape off the drum head.
Rings
Next, let's look at O Rings (also called Zero rings, etc.). These are doughnut-shaped rings of mylar that come in various sizes to fit a wide variety of drums, and are available from many manufacturers. They can be very effective in reducing the ring from drums, and can give a snare an often desirable "dry" sound, with more pronounced low end. The only real difference is thickness and width, each of which affects the drum differently. They are quite inexpensive, so you can try a few to see which (if any) work for you. Most salespeople will be glad to show you different ones in the store. You can also make your own out of old drumheads. Just cut out the center and the outside hoop of a used head and there you go. A little experimentation with width is all you need.
Felt
This is an old standby, which is most commonly used on bass drums and, to a lesser extent, floor toms. Treatment with felt differs from other methods in that you apply the felt before you put on the drum head. With a bass drum, typically you would lay the drum down so that the side you are Treating is facing up. Lay two felt strips (thickness and width are up to you, but thin and narrow should suffice) across the opening, evenly spaced out, say running from 10 o'clock to 8 o'clock and from 2 o'clock to 4 o'clock. Now, while keeping the felts evenly tensioned (rather tight) across the opening, put the head and hoop on the bass drum, and tighten the lugs until they are all finger-tight. You may need to ask a friend to help you. Among those who advocate drum Treatment, there are two schools of thought on felts. Many feel that, while it works, there are better and easier ways to Treat a bass drum. Others feel that with the right head, this is the best way to go. As felt is inexpensive, give it a shot. You very well may love it.
Adjustable Pads
I used this term to differentiate between these adjustable mutes (typically felt) and the pads often used in bass drums (such as those made by DW and Evans). Adjustable pads are often found on older drum kits, and have their advocates today. These are devices where a mechanism on the outside of the drum adjusts a felt mute on the inside of the drum, often touching the bottom of the batter head by various adjustable amounts. These are also found on bass drums, typically on the resonant head. These pads offer ease of adjustment, even while playing, and can work wonderfully. You should be aware, however, that older adjustable pads that have not been well-maintained may rattle and ring sympathetically. As always, care and diligence can prevent this.
Pillows and Pads
This can be the custom pads mentioned above or an old pillow stuffed in the bass drum. Foam rubber and towels are often used, too. This approach deadens the bass drum and changes the perceived pitch of the drum as well. The amount and effect depend on the method and application, of course. To dangerously generalize, it is often advisable to only lightly touch the batter and resonant head, just to control the decay of the bass drum, unless you are after a very dead sounding bass drum (which you may be). Also very broadly, the area of the batter head where the Treatment contacts the head can vary the amount of low end and attack of a bass drum. It is a good idea to try a towel or a pillow to see if you like this sound (which depends of course on drum size and material, head choice and tuning, beater choice, and, sadly, the drummer). If you find that this sound appeals to you, then look into the products made for this purpose. But you may prefer the sound of an old pillow.
A word of caution: don't decide on Treatment based on what you hear while playing. Have a friend play your kit while you listen from various distances. This is always good advice while weighing Treatment options, but is especially important when it comes to bass drum Treatment. Control Drum Heads This includes double ply heads, "control ring" heads, "hydraulic" heads, and good old Pinstripes. While this is addressed in the Drum Head section of the FAQ, please bear in mind that these are Drum Treatments, albeit in disguise. If you like a slight bit of muffling as Treatment in your bass drum, a "control ring" head may give you the desired result without additional treatment. So if you go from a single ply coated batter head with a pillow to a clear "control ring" batter head, you may no longer need the pillow. Experiment as much as you can, and trust your ears, not an advertisement.
While bass drums are the most common recipients of "control" drum heads, they are also available for toms and snares. A Hole in Your Head Openings (or ports) in a bass drum resonant head are also forms of Treatment. Even if they are intended only for convenience in mic'ing, they do have a decided effect on the sound of the bass drum. A closed bass drum (no opening in the head) tends to have more resonance and sustain. It can have more low end, and particularly a low of low midrange frequencies, which can be an obstacle on stage or in the studio, as the bass drum can fight with the electric bass for room in the mix, even though it may sound phenomenal by itself. For that reason (as well as mic'ing convenience), very often a bass drum will have an opening of some sort. This is less common with smaller bass drums, such as an 18" diameter drum as is commonly used in Jazz. The closed bass drum sound is part of this style, and the smaller drums typically don't fight with the bass instrument as much.
In general, the smaller the opening, the more resonance the drum will have. An opening in the center of the drum may commonly have less low end and more beater attack than an off-center opening. This is a matter of personal choice, and you should listen to both before choosing. The trend in recent years among manufacturers is to put a small (typically 4"-6") off-center opening in their resonant heads. Ten years ago, pre-cut openings were typically larger and more centered. Today there is also a resurgence in closed heads. Again, a matter of personal preference.
Be aware that most drum stores will cut a head to your choice of size and placement. You can also do this yourself. Tip: get a coffee can or other metal can of an appropriate size, and heat it up over a stove (please take all necessary precautions so as not to burn yourself). When the can is hot, you can press it against the drum head and a hole the size of the can will quickly be seared into the head. Remove the can quickly and the hole should be smooth. You can purchase reinforcement rings to prevent the edge of the opening from being damaged if you choose, though this is often unnecessary.
Other Approaches There are many other valid ways to Treat your drums, often with whatever you have handy. Without attempting to list them all, here are two well-known sounds and how they were achieved: Ringo Starr's distinctive late '60s sound with The Beatles, on recordings Sgt. Pepper and Strawberry Fields Forever, was achieved (in part) by draping tea-towels on the snare and toms. For those that don't know, a tea-towel is about the same size and thickness as a dishtowel. Al Jackson Jr's snare sound on all the classic Stax and Al Green records was often achieved by placing his wallet on the snare. Tip: if you drop a few cotton balls in toms, they can cut the ring just the right amount without affecting the visual or playability of the toms. When the batter head is struck, the cotton balls lift off the resonant head briefly, then softly and naturally fall back and prevent the resonant head from ringing.
Cymbal Treatment This can range from rivets (a semipermanent change) to electrical tape. This affects the timbre, sustain, and pitch of cymbals. You can dry out a washy ride, shorten a crash, darken high hats, whatever. This one is really up to you. Tip: for a rivet sound on a budget, or when you don't want to modify a ride, get a length of fan and light chain (the little metal balls in a row) from a hardware store and drape a suitable length around the wingnut, so that it hangs down on the ride itself. It works pretty well.
The Cons of Treatment Ok, all of you who have been ranting and raving over the stuff and nonsense above, here's your turn. This section will address the common reasons not to treat your drums.
What's Wrong with Natural Drums? Not much. Ask Jim Keltner or Kenny Aronoff, who prefer the sound of unTreated (though incredibly well-tuned) drums. This is an especially cherished view in certain Jazz circles, as well. Many who hold this view believe that anyone who likes Treated drums has never played a really great set of drums with really great tuning. We're not going to touch that one. Instead, let's just say that natural, resonant drums do have a particular sound that is appropriate for many styles, and that might include you, no matter what style of music you play.
How Should One Approach Un-Treated Drums? At this point, it is important to note that unTreated drums will sound awful if they are not tuned well with heads in good condition. It is also important to remember that what the drummer hears is not necessarily what the audience hears. The tom ring and snare "boing" that sound horrible (or at least distracting) to the drummer may sound great (or inaudible) in the full context of the music from the audience's perspective. A dry, controlled snare that sounds good by itself may be weak and ineffective in the mix, while an open unTreated snare may add the perfect amount of character to the song.
Also remember that the audience doesn't hear a snare, a bass drum, a 17" crash cymbal, and a 15" high hat. The audience hears a drum kit as a whole, and the various drum sounds interact with each other, hopefully in a complementary way. Think of each drum being a voice in a choir. You don't hear a choir as a lot of individuals (not a good choir, anyway), but rather as a cohesive whole. With that approach, it is not only important to make sure each drum sounds good by itself, but also that the drums sound good together. While unTreated drums can make this a difficult goal to achieve, proponents of open drums claim that if this goal is reached without Treatment, it is the ultimate in expression and tone.
When Do Un-Treated Drums Sound Best? To a lot of people, all of the time. But let's be pragmatic for a moment. While moving your kit from gig to gig, with little if any soundcheck, some form of treatment may be necessary to ensure a consistent sound from night to night. Even if you would usually prefer an open (unTreated) sound, it might be best to Treat your drums when opening up for another band, without a reliable soundcheck.
The Studio The studio is a good place to let your open drums shine. The time it takes to tune an open kit can pay off in spades in the studio. The extra attention to detail really makes a difference. Just as many drummers will use coated single ply heads for studio and double ply clear heads for live, the studio is the time to get it right. This is assuming that you are the one responsible for the recorded drum sound. If you aren't the one paying for the session, you may have to play whatever drum sound the artist or producer demands. That said, if you know how to get a great open sound out of a kit, this sound can get you future jobs. Even if you aren't an unTreated drum fanatic, it is a good tool to have at your disposal.
Big Gigs When you have the time to get it right live, do so. If you can get a distinctive, natural sound live, that immediately separates you from the standard Treated drums people are used to hearing live. If the music calls for it, and you can do it, this is your time for you and your drums to shine.
Do I Have To Be A Fanatic? Not at all. Many drummers choose to blend the two approaches. For live shows, Billy Cobham has been playing a kit with open toms, an O ring on the snare, and ported resonant bass drum heads with pads in the bass drums. And no one complains much about his sound. For his recent acoustic albums, Cobham has played more open kits. And that's a wonderful sound, too.
This section of the FAQ isn't designed to prove one way or the other is the "right" way. Hopefully, though, the reader will come away from this section with a better understanding of the methods and reasoning behind each approach, and will be better able to apply these techniques in his or her future musical endeavors.
Turn It Down!
This last section is devoted to reducing the volume of the drum kit. For some reason, people seem to think drums are loud and annoying. Until the glorious revolution, it seems the landlords are still in control, so we need to be able to work around the volume "problem." Seriously, drums are exceedingly loud. Please see the Hearing Protection section of the FAQ for more information. There are many solutions available, from putting a towel over each drum (it helps a lot) to rubber practice pads to electronic drums that can be played through headphones.
Rudimentary Practice For rudimentary practice, a phone book and a pair of sticks may be all you need. There are also many different types of "real" practice pads available that offers different playing surface, feels, and volumes. You can even glue a mousepad to a piece of plywood for an inexpensive, functional practice pad. Many instructors advocate playing on a pillow, which, due to the lack of bounce-back, helps build strength and speed. The pillow is also almost silent.
Full Kit Over the years, there have been many models of practice kits available. These are typically rubber or rubber-covered wood pads arranged in a kit-like configuration (many of which are adjustable to fit the drummer's needs). You can also purchase rubber pads for your drums (available in many sizes) that fit over your acoustic drums and cymbals that reduce the volume immensely. They also affect the playing feel, which can be problematic for your wrists. Consult a teacher or doctor, but they're usually safe. Again, you can cut neoprene sheets to fit your drums if you want to save money.
Electronic kits are another option, though comparatively expensive. See the Electronics section of the FAQ for more detail. The two leading fully-electronic kits at the time of this writing are the dDrum and Roland kits. Both offer very realistic playing surfaces and sounds, at the acoustic level of a set of phone books, complete with cymbals and high hats. They are also as expensive as the best brands of acoustic drums, so this is not an option for very many of us. The near future should see the price of comparable kits drop to more affordable levels, so keep an eye out for this.
Room Treatment This is another way to approach drums without annoying your neighbors. Be aware that as this approach gets more successful, it gets more expensive. You can hang sleeping bags or mattresses on the walls, which can cut down the midrange and high frequencies a good bit, but does almost nothing to stop the bass (which is the biggest problem for your neighbors). Bass frequencies can couple to the walls and floors of the room, so that the room (and the whole house) can actually amplify the bass from the drum kit. You can build floating rooms with double-studded walls, and that can work excellently, but that is very cost prohibitive and beyond the scope of this FAQ. To truly build an isolation chamber can easily cost more than an electronic kit, so unless you have the budget, it really isn't very feasible.
V. Endorsements by Jon "Bermuda" Schwartz
Q: What is an endorsement?
A: For the purposes of this FAQ, an endorsement is defined as the expressed or implied recommendation, by a popular and/or well-respected drummer, of a particular manufacturer's product, product line, or service(s).
Q: What is its purpose?
A: Endorsements are designed to increase product or brand-name awareness, and ultimately, sales, through the use of a familiar spokesperson.
Q: Is the drummer the endorser or the endorsee?
These terms are often used interchangeably; the drummer is the endorser (since it is the drummer who "endorses" the manufacturer's product). The manufacturer would therefore be considered the endorsee, however, it's a seldom-used reference.
Q: Who can get an endorsement agreement?
A: Any drummer who has good exposure to the manufacturer's target buyers, either personally or through artist affiliation, is a candidate for an endorsement agreement.
Q: What are the benefits to the endorser?
A: In exchange for their endorsement, the drummer can expect a minimum "consideration" in the form of discounts on the product endorsed (and possibly on other products from the manufacturer). Based on the level of exposure the drummer can provide, the agreement may include free product, however there is generally a limit to the amount and frequency of such consideration. Other agreements may include exchanging old product for new, and in some instances, product is simply loaned as necessary.
High-profile drummers may be compensated in addition to product consideration. The specific product may also govern the consideration. That is, a drummer is more likely to get free sticks from a stick manufacturer, than to get free drums from a drum manufacturer. The amount and type of consideration is usually proportionate to the marketing value of the endorser to the manufacturer. Another valuable benefit is the "support" offered by the manufacturer. An endorser will enjoy better pricing, and usually faster service than at almost any retail store. This is especially important for the traveling drummer, where the product may be unavailable in local stores.
The drummer may also have their name and/or photo used in the manufacturer's product literature and advertising campaigns. Occasionally, the drummer may be involved with R&D (research and development) regarding the manufacturer's products.
Q: What is the benefit to the manufacturer?
A: The promise of increased sales. It should be no surprise that the manufacturer is in business to sell their products or services and, like any other business, generating revenue is a prime objective
Q: What does the manufacturer expect from the endorser?
A: Since the manufacturer seeks exposure via the endorser, the endorser is expected to be seen using, and/or pictured with, the product. Sometimes clinics are arranged so that the endorser can help spread the word on a more personal level. For endorsers who do recordings, a 'thank you' or mention in the liner notes is customary. Traveling endorsers may be asked to accommodate manufacturer employees or representatives at performances. The endorser may be asked for R&D (research and development) input on the manufacturer's products. And of course, the endorser is generally expected to say nice things about the product and manufacturer.
Q: Does a manufacturer ever approach a drummer with an endorsement offer??
A: Yes. If the manufacturer determines that the drummer will benefit the marketing strategy, they will seek an endorsement.
Q: Can an unknown drummer get an endorsement?
A: Sometimes a manufacturer will sign a drummer who they believe has the potential for exposure. Some manufacturers have special programs aimed at non-professionals, an example of which is the Pro-Mark Sticks "Not Yet Famous Drummers" promotion from the early '90s. The marketing angle is the same either way - the manufacturer wants the up-and-coming drummers to get where they're going, while using the product.
Q: Is there a difference between endorsement and sponsorship?
A: These terms are sometimes used interchangeably, but they definitely have different meanings. Sponsorship usually means the financial backing and/or additional promotion of the endorsing drummer, in connection with the promotion of the product. Full-time clinicians fall into that category, as do child prodigy drummers who are seen on TV behind drums & cymbals with the manufacturers' logos. An endorsement differs in that it is generally not approached by the manufacturer quite as aggressively as a sponsorship.
Q: How does one approach a manufacturer?
A: A letter or phone call to the artist relations person at the company will get the ball rolling. They will probably require a promo package, and then determine if the drummer can offer the kind of exposure that will help promote their product. Rejection letters are common, as are "B level" endorsements which may offer only a moderate discount on product. The choice is the manufacturer's when it comes to how they handle their marketing, and it's just not possible for them to enter into agreements with every drummer who asks.
Q: Are endorsements forever?
A: Sometimes the specifications or quality of a product change and it no longer meets the drummer's needs, or, the drummer discovers a preferable brand. Barring satisfactory resolution with the manufacturer, these are among the valid reasons to discontinue endorsing a particular product or brand. The manufacturer also has the right to terminate the agreement if the endorser violates the terms of the endorsement agreement, or if it is determined that the endorser no longer possesses suitable promotional value.
BERMUDA'S RECOMMENDATIONS: Seek to endorse only those products that you would use anyway. That sounds obvious, but there are drummers who will take whatever they can grab, whether they like or intend to even use the product. Your credibility as a spokesperson is important, especially as you seek out additional products and manufacturers. Reputations and relationships possess tremendous value, and nobody will tolerate an endorsement-hopping "drum whore". In certain broadcast or performance situations, it is not always possible to use the endorsed product. When that happens, you should certainly not be seen using the competitor's product! Mask the competitor's name so it is not visible. In the studio, it is common to use various brands of cymbals and snares. Avoid being pictured with a non-endorsed brand, and don't make the mistake of thanking non-endorsed competing manufacturers in the liner notes! Endorsement agreements are almost always exclusive, and your credibility and contract could both be lost. The relationship between you and the manufacturer is as important on a personal level, as well as being a business arrangement. Never whine about how you're not pictured in the latest ad, don't make excessive product requests or other demands, and respect the people who are accommodating you. In this business, it's the nice guys who finish first.
Industry Gatherings
NAMM http://www.namm.com by Jon "Bermuda" Schwartz
Q: What is NAMM?
A: NAMM is the National Association of Music Merchants, whose mission is to "strengthen and unify the music products industry and increase the number of active music makers." In addition to many functions within the music industry, they hold a twice-yearly trade show known officially as the NAMM International Music Market, and simply called the NAMM Show. Music product manufacturers and distributors exhibit their merchandise to wholesale buyers with the intent of writing sales.
Q: When and where is NAMM?
A: Currently, NAMM's "Winter Market" is held in January at the Los Angeles Convention Center, and the "Summer Session" is held in July in Nashville at the Nashville Convention Center. These venues do change periodically.
Q: Who can attend?
A: Retail music store buyers, music product manufacturers/distributors, manufacturer representatives of the music products industry, their employees and guests, NARAS (the Grammy organization) members, and NAMM employees, guests and invited media personnel.
Q: Who's who at the show?
A: Everyone attending or exhibiting at NAMM wears a badge with their name and company affiliation on it. The color and status named on the badge quickly identifies the person wearing it. The most common are: Exhibitor - red, Buyer - blue, Visitor - Yellow, and Media - white/clear. Note that lending of badges occurs frequently, and people often have somebody else's name on the badge they are wearing.
Q: How can I get a badge?
A: According to NAMM's literature, the Shows "are closed to the public." However, if you endorse an exhibiting company, know someone in that company, or know anyone else who is attending, you can try requesting a badge. And, if you can show employment by music-related company that's a member of NAMM, you can fill out a form at the Show and purchase a badge for $25. If you're employed by a music-related company that's not a NAMM member, the registration fees are: retail - $100, manufacturer - $150, "other" (such as the music media) - $150. Proof of your affiliation is always required.
Q: What can I expect if I get in?
A: You'll see a lot of new products, new finishes, new literature, and some celebrities. However, the NAMM Show is not a giant music store. Some exhibitors sell their products right out of their booth, some don't, and samples are usually reserved for Buyers. You may score a good deal on a large item, but you might have to wait until the last day of the show to pick it up, so they can continue displaying it during the show. The L.A. Show is huge, so wear comfortable shoes. If you plan to have a snack at one of the concession stands, figure about $10 for a sandwich, chips, and drink. Parking is $6 per day.
BERMUDA'S RECOMMENDATIONS:
If you do get a badge and attend the show, act accordingly. Remember that it's a trade show - not a consumer show like PASIC - and Exhibitors expect to write business with the attending Buyers. Legitimate Buyers would never bang on drums and crank up amps for their personal pleasure, so avoid being conspicuous that way. If you've borrowed a badge from someone, don't do anything that would embarrass or cause a problem for the person and company whose names appears on the badge. If a complaint is lodged with NAMM against the owner of the badge - and that DOES happen when an attendee is disruptive - the flow of badges slows down, and it's even tougher for the "nice guys" to come back again.
The type of badge you wear may govern the treatment you receive from the Exhibitors. Wearing an Exhibitor badge in a rival manufacturer's booth may earn you a question or two about who you are, and Visitor and Media badges are kind of neutral; the Exhibitors are there primarily to see Buyers, and may not always be overly-friendly to fellow Exhibitors or guests. By the same token, if you are seeking products to endorse, you will probably be asked to submit your information by mail following the end of the Show. Exhibitors rarely talk about artist discounts and freebies, when they're trying to meet with Buyers and generate solid sales. Going to the NAMM Show should be considered a treat. Enjoy yourself and please respect the business being conducted there.
PASIC
Q: What is PASIC or the Percussive Arts Society?
A: The Percussive Arts Society (PAS) is a not-for-profit service organization. Its purpose is educational, promoting drums and percussion through a viable network of performers, teachers, students, enthusiasts and sustaining members. PAS accomplishes its goals through publications, a worldwide network of chapters, the World Percussion Network (WPN), the Percussive Arts Society International Headquarters/ Museum and the annual Percussive Arts Society International Convention (PASIC«). See http://www.pas.org/ for more information.
Microphones by Gordy Gale.
For those of you who may not know me, I am a drummer, and a live sound engineer. One of my current sound clients is the group Niacin with Dennis Chambers, for whom I am the road manager/soundman, and assistant recording and mastering engineer (naturally, as I am the most familiar with their material). I have toured all over the world and both played and mixed in many clubs, theaters, high schools, sheds (outdoor amphitheaters), and concert halls. You can see both my drumming and soundman resumes at http://www.gordygale.com.
First off, let's talk mic selection. This remains a very subjective area, and every engineer (and drummer) has his or her preferences. Here is a list of commonly used mics and their applications, not in any particular order.
Kick
AKG D-112E, or the earlier D-12E. Electrovoice RE-20, Beyer M-88, Sennheiser MD-421U, Shure Beta-52, Shure SM-91(regular or beta versions), Audio Technica AT-4060.
Snare
Shure SM-57, or SM-56 (same as 57 but has tilt mount), Audio Technica AT-4053, Audix D-3, AKG D-1000E.
Toms
Sennheiser MD-421U, Shure SM 98 (or 98-A), AKG 408, Ramsa S-5, Audio Technica AT-4053.
Overheads-HiHat
Shure SM-81, AKG 451, or 460, Audio Technica AT-4051.
Now let's talk placement. These would be starting places but actual placement would depend on how it SOUNDS, now how it looks. And you also have to take into account the comfort for the drummer (as big mics can be intimidating to relaxed playing), and what kind of kit set up present, and what kind of stands you are using.
Kick - If there is a hole cut into the front bass drum head, then the mic is inserted about 2" inside the hole and aimed just off center to the beater. If there is no front head, then place the mic inside the drum about 1 foot in front of the strike head again aimed just off center. Personally, I have had good luck with an AKG D-112E, or EV RE-20 at the hole and a Shure SM-57 placed inside mixing the two mics together.
Snare - For live sound, I generally don't mic the bottom of the snare so let's talk about top snare placement. With a Shure SM-57, I place it over the snare, next to the mounted tom, almost flat across the drum head, angled down slightly, with the capsule about 1 inch over the head. Any more, and it will get damaged by a stick hit.
Toms - Similar to snare micing, only with more of an angle perpendicular to the floor (or head). Even if I have concert toms, I do not mic from the bottom or inside, as there can be problems picking up all of the audio from floor monitors.
Overheads - Up over the cymbals, left and right (I use two), on stage right between the ride cymbal and 1st crash aimed a little towards the other cymbals upstage. On stage left, over the 1st crash, aimed a little towards the other cymbals upstage.
Hi-Hat - Over the hat almost perpendicular to the floor but aimed upstage a bit. See the website on Gordy Gale’s notes on equalizing for live sound.||||||||||||||||0||||||||||||||||||||||||0||~~minimum-quantity~~1~~need-ship~~1~~|^^|drumsticks1||link.||||cymbals||||||||Drumsticks||||cymbals||Cymbals > ||||||||||||||||0||0||0||0||||||||||||||||||||||||0||||||||||||||||||||||||0||~~minimum-quantity~~1~~need-ship~~1~~|^^|dulcimers||item.||page.||acin||||||||Dulcimers||||acin||Acoustic Instruments > ||||||||||||||||0||1||0||0||||modu4sthe jolapdu||||||||||||||||||||0||||||||||||||||||||||||0||~~minimum-quantity~~1~~need-ship~~1~~|^^|dureco||item.||page.||regdobandtri||https://sep.yimg.com/ca/I/chrisbsmusicinc_2270_22132851||||||Duolian Replacement Coverplate||DP-155||acin regdobandtri||Acoustic Instruments > Regal Dobros and Triolians > ||49.950||71.950 ||49.950 ||Duolian/Triolian Cover Plate||||||||1||1||1||0||||||||This authentic coverplate fits the standard Duolian and Triolian wood or metal body guitars that use a 9 1/2” resonator cone —incorporating a wooden “biscuit” bridge.

This oud has the classic tear-drop shape. The bowl and neck stave construction is accented with alternating dark and light hard woods. It is traditionally played with 11 strings, but comes strung with 12. You can remove the 12th lowest string.
The three round sound holes are trimmed with faux mother of pearl inlay. The soundboard has a light finish. The bridge is fixed. The nut to bridge measures approximately 23.6 inches, 600 mm. This is a beautiful instrument. Over all dimensions are approximately 34 x 14.5 x 7.5 inches.

The clear standard synthetic head is tuned with 6 tuning bolts in the collar. Beautiful and intricate inlay of real mother of pearl makes this drum a work of art. You can see pinwheels, snowflakes and stars.
Actual weight 9 pounds. Tuning tool, padded nylon case and extra standard synthetic head included. Patterns may vary slightly from drum to drum. All mosaic inlays are delicate. It is not uncommon for small pieces of mosaic to dislodge. This is especially true around the edges and on the collar. With a drum's curving surface, this is to be expected. Missing inlay is not considered a defect or blemish. Your drum is unique and small irregularities should just be considered birth marks.||||||||||||||||0||||||||||||||||||||Mid-East||||0||~~minimum-quantity~~1~~need-ship~~1~~|^^|el34tubes||item.||page.||reptub||||||||EL34 Tubes||||elguit1 reptub||Electric Guitars > Replacement Tubes > ||||||||||||||||0||1||0||0||||||||Browse all EL34 Tubes

Guardian electric guitar gigbag with 5mm of padding, durable nylon exterior and soft cloth lining. It also has an exterior pocket and an attached shoulder strap for convenience.
When winding the string around the shaft/post, make sure that each revolution of string around the shaft/post sits one notch lower than the previous revolution. Tune the string to pitch and clip the excess string with a wire cutter. It is recommended to change strings one at a time to avoid drastic changes in neck tension (causing possible damage to the neck, bridge or top).
New String Stretch
New strings go through a brief period of stretching. To minimize the inconvenience retune more frequently until the strings stabilize and hold their pitch. Always plan ahead and change strings at least 24 hours before a performance.||Brand/Gauge D'addarioXL D'ad.ExtraLight D'ad.Light D'ad.Medium D'ad.Heavy DeanMarkleyBlueSteel DeMa.XLight DeMa.Light DeMa.CustomLight DeMa.Regular ErnieBallSuperSlinky EB.009 EB.010 EB.011 ErnieBallRegularSlinky 009 010 011 GHS GHS.008 GHS.009 GHS.010 GHS.011||guitar strings, d'addario, ernie ball, changing guitar strings, fender, dean markley blue steel, super slinky, 008, 009, bass strings, ghs||||||||||||0||||||||||||||||||||||||0||~~minimum-quantity~~1~~need-ship~~1~~|^^|elguit1||item.||page.||index||https://sep.yimg.com/ca/I/chrisbsmusicinc_2270_22331153||||||Electric Guitars||||||||||||||Ibanez, Fender, Gibson, ESP more...||||||||0||1||0||0||||bestsellers barguit bcrich brianmoorgui chsielgu dangelico daqguit daisrocguit danguit deanguitars dipinto epiphone ernieball espguitars evhguitars fenderguitars fencusshop fenlefshop fendersquier fernandes floyrosguit fulguit gibson gibcusshopgu1 glelgu gretschguitars hamerguitars higendelguit holel ibacguit ibelguit jacksonguitars jayturguit johnsonguitars leftyguitars mikeelgu olpguitars parker peaveyguitars privresguit paulreedsmith ricguit schecguit sevstringuit silvertone slammerguitars yamelguit wasguit 65guam ampbestsellers ampcovers amguitam ashdownamps axlguitaramps b52guitaramps badcatguam behringeramps blguam blguam1 buddaamps crateamps fenderamps genzbenz hugandket ibanezamps krguam kuguam line6amps marshallamps meboguam peaveyamps randallamps soldanoamps traynoramps ulguam vhtamps voxamps fencasandbag usedgear studguitandb bosdodmor guitstrin1 guitdigtun guitarcables guitwirsys pagearandliv coffincases guitpicseydu reptub fenreppar sagbuilyouro guitampbuygu gurene||||

The Epiphone company was established in 1928 in New York City. Named after the companys president Epaminondas Stathopoulo, Epiphone was known in the 20's for a line of highly ornamental banjos. Epiphone started making electric guitars in the 1930's, and are probably best known for its archtops. The C. G. Conn company bought Epiphone in 1953 and moved production to Philadelphia. The Stathopoulo family bought the company back in 1955 but by 1957 the company had been acquired by CMI. CMI started shipping Gibson Epiphones from Kalamazoo in 1959. Norlin purchased CMI in 1969, and arranged the production of Epiphones in Japan and later Korea.

This is the opening statement of "The Value and Quality of Arts Education: A Statement of Principles", a document from ten of the nation's most important educational organizations, including the American Association of School Administrators, the National Education Association, the National Parent Teacher Association, and the National School Boards Assocation.
The basic statement is unlikely to be challenged by anyone involved in education. In the sometimes harsh reality of limited time and funding for instruction, however, the inclusion of the arts in every student's education can sometimes be relegated to a distant wish rather than an exciting reality.
It doesn't have to be that way.
All that is needed is a clear message, clearly sent to all those who must make the hard choices involved in running a school or school system. The basic message that music programs in the school help our kids and communities in real and substantial ways is eloquently mapped out in Music of the Heart. You can use the eloquence of the movie and the real-life story on which it is based to move decision-makers to make the right choices. And you can tell them about the benefits of music education on the basis of the growing body of convincing research.
Music study is its own reward. And music education confers additional benefits, which can be grouped in four categories:
1. Success in society
2. Success in school
3. Success in developing intelligence
4. Success in life
We firmly believe that, presented with the many and manifest benefits of music education, officials at all levels will unversally support a full, balanced, sequential course of music instruction taught by qualified teachers.
And every student will have an education in the arts. ||||||||||||||||0||||||||||||||||||||||||0||~~minimum-quantity~~1~~need-ship~~1~~|^^|evhguitars||item.||page.||elguit1||||||||EVH Guitars||||elguit1||Electric Guitars > ||||||||||||||||0||1||0||0||||||||Browse all EVH Guitars

Expanders and Noise Gates
Expanders are dynamic processors that increases the dynamic range of a signal. They make loud sounds louder and soft sounds softer. They're like an amplifier with a variable gain control, and the gain is controlled by the level of the input signal. Expanders are used by musicians to produce more extremes in recordings that have a limited dynamic range. This gives the music more intense dynamics.
Noise gates are usually used to eliminate unwanted noise and hiss which would otherwise be heard when an instrument is not being played. The noise gate's threshold needs to be at the precise point so unwanted noise falls below it, and he instrument's complete notes can be heard.
Expanders and noise gates should be near the end of the effects chain, so noise created by other effects can be "gated" when you're not playing. I place my delay and reverb effects after the noise gate so their sounds trail off naturally.
