Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

The drum is a member of the percussion group of music instruments, technically classified as a membranophone.[1]. Drums consist of at least one membrane, called a drumhead or drum skin, that is stretched over a shell and struck, either directly with parts of a player's body, or with some sort of implement such as a drumstick, to produce sound. Other techniques have been used to cause drums to make sound, such as the "Thumb roll". Drums are the world's oldest and most ubiquitous musical instruments, and the basic design has remained virtually unchanged for thousands of years.[1] Most drums are considered "untuned instruments", however many modern musicians are beginning to tune drums to songs; Terry Bozzio has constructed a kit using diatonic and chromatically tuned drums. A few such as timpani are always tuned to a certain pitch. Often, several drums are arranged together to create a drum kit. [2]

The shell almost invariably has a circular opening over which the drumhead is stretched, but the shape of the remainder of the shell varies widely. In the western musical tradition, the most usual shape is a cylinder, although timpani, for example, use bowl-shaped shells[1]. Other shapes include a frame design (tar, Bodhrán), truncated cones (bongo drums, Ashiko), goblet shaped (djembe), and joined truncated cones (talking drum).

Drums with cylindrical shells can be open at one end (as is the case with timbales), or can have two drum heads. Single-headed drums normally consist of a skin which is stretched over an enclosed space, or over one of the ends of a hollow vessel. Drums with two heads covering both ends of a cylindrical shell often have a small hole somewhat halfway between the two heads; the shell forms a resonating chamber for the resulting sound. Exceptions include the African slit drum, made from a hollowed-out tree trunk, and the Caribbean steel drum, made from a metal barrel. Drums with two heads can also have a set of wires, called snares, held across the bottom head, top head, or both heads, hence the name snare drum[1].

On modern band and orchestral drums, the drumhead is placed over the opening of the drum, which in turn is held onto the shell by a "counterhoop" (or "rim), which is then held by means of a number of tuning keyscrews called "tension rods" (also known as lugs) placed regularly around the circumference. The head's tension can be adjusted by loosening or tightening the rods. Many such drums have six to ten tension rods. The sound of a drum depends on several variables, including shape, size and thickness of its shell, materials from which the shell was made, counterhoop material, type of drumhead used and tension applied to it, position of the drum, location, and the velocity and angle in which it is struck.[1]

1. Popular Powerball!
November 19, 2009

One of the most popular lottery games is Powerball, an American lottery game played in 32 states in USA and all over the world. It combines a jackpot and cash games. It has its origin in 1988 and was known by the name ‘Lotto America.’ It was started by the Multi-State Lottery Association and had 6 states that formed it.

2. Reason's Redrum: Drum Samples Made Easy
November 19, 2009

Propellerheads have really done something great with their virtual drum machine, Redrum. The Redrum is a combination of easy drum samples sequencing, loading and manipulation. There are ten drum channels in one instance of Redrum, each one with multiple modulation filters and options, such as velocity and panning. Along with panning, another regular is the level rotary knob, which simply controls the level or volume. You can mix and match the volume of all ten drum samples until you have a good internal balance. The master level then controls the volume of every drum sound inside Redrum as ... (read more)

3. Sequencing Drum Samples: How Many Bars?
November 19, 2009

The number of bars used when sequencing drum samples can vary quite a lot. Usually, the total number of bars will be equal to the length of the song as a whole, and if you're making loops to start with, it can be a bit more complicated. One of the most common looping numbers of bars is four. This is usually enough to develop an indicative portion of a song, and then four bars can give groove, tempo and feel to a song, and so is great as a foundation or 'skeleton' sample. The drum samples in the four bar loop can be organized as one total unique sample, with each bar being totally different ... (read more)

4. Using Drum Samples With Reverb
November 19, 2009

Reverb, when applied to drum samples, is grossly underused in popular music. At the same time, though, a lot of the people who make use of the effect for their drum parts abuse it and degrade the drum samples to the point of annoyance. When using the reverb on just one of the drum samples, think about the effect you're trying to achieve. Is the sound a constant sound? Could it drive your listener crazy after repeat visits? Or is it something that colors the other samples, so to say? Once you can figure out the role for that particular drum sample, you'll be a few steps ahead and closer to y... (read more)

5. Drum Samples: Analyzing Snares
November 19, 2009

Snares are just about an essential part of most popular songs; everything you hear on the radio and nearly all songs on all CDs in the rhythm and blues and hip hop, rap and dance genres. Snare use is determined based on the type of music and the groove of the song. Snare drum samples are usually placed on beats 2 and 4 in urban groove songs such as most hip hop. The reason for this is that it's usually the kicks that occupy the other, stronger points of the bar, but the snare still plays an important part and sets the tone for the rest of the song much of the time. There are so many diff... (read more)

6. Types Of Kick Drum Samples
November 19, 2009

There are many different types of kick drum samples available for music producers today. Beat making is such an involved activity that having to use the same samples over and over can really kill your creativity. This is especially true with kick drum sounds as these are an elemental ingredient to just about every rhythm and blues, hip hop, rap, pop and rock song on the charts and underground today. A kick drum sample has a few phases, the first being the start or attack. If the attack is very strong, you will be able to hear the introduction of the kick through many other instruments and s...

7. Drum Samples Volume And Velocity
November 19, 2009

The easiest mixing stage to apply when sequencing and organizing drum samples is the volume dynamic. Many producers like to do this on the fly, immediately have done the drum channels or after the beat is made entirely. Because it is such an easy process, most big-time producers factor this in as early as possible to get it out of the way and make a path for other samples and instruments to occupy certain sonic space. Adjusting the volume is possible in multiple places in most major sequencers and on keyboard workstations. For instance, Propellerheads' Reason allows you to adjust volume on ... (read more)

8. Panning With Drum Samples
November 19, 2009

Sequencing drum samples is very important, but of the same high importance is panning drum samples for palatability in a music scene where packing instrument upon endless instrument is becoming the trade of many seasoned producers and amateurs. Panning is, after volume, the most obvious step in the mixing process. Mixing can be extremely complicated to master, especially during the beat making process, but when starting to get into the hang of things, it does become easier with time. At its essence, panning is distributing the volume of an instrument over the stereo field in a decisive m... (read more)

9. Drum Samples With Swing Settings
November 19, 2009

In beat making, there exist two spatial factors that are often overlooked: time-sensitive density and swing. We'll be taking a look at the latter in this article, as there are a lot of beat makers who have not paid enough attention and have not applied the most basic principles of using swing on drum samples and instruments. First of all, why use swing? Swing is useful in two situations. It is first of all useful when having used an editor or a click-in interface (like Reason's Redrum or the FL Studio sequencer), and in this case it serves to humanize the drum samples loop. If it weren't fo... (read more)

10. Drawing In Or Tapping Out Drum Samples?
November 19, 2009

When it comes to sequencing and laying down drum samples, producers and beat makers have a few different options. Sampling is still quite big, with a lot of amateur and established music producers still employing pre-sampled loops and making their own to fit a beat or concept. The main two methods, however, are drawing in samples and tapping them out. Drawing in samples using a piano roll editor or other sequencer is very easy to do and requires no MIDI input for the computer to play back exactly what you want. Another upside is the fact that no physical rhythm is needed; if you can hear it... (read more)

11. MP3. I'm talking bout you and me.
November 18, 2009

The awesome thing in relation to music is that a song is a universal language. There's simply something mystical about a catchy drum-beat and those moving guitar lines that have been know to uplift a listener's mood in a blink. It should hold true, then, that the new, up and coming must-have, particularly for the holiday season, is a MP3 Player. Last decade's CD is definitely a thing of the past. MP3s afford total versatility; and, with wholesale MP3 players attainable, everyone could afford to carry around the hippest new piece of song jamming equipment. There's no refuting the MP3 playe...

12. Hip Hop Beat Making
November 16, 2009

Hiphop music has a typical, regular, and rhythmic pattern with clearly vocals on top of the beat. The most common equipment used when an artist makes hip hop beats include a sampler, a workstation, and a keyboard. Hip Hop Beat Making can be learned easily, especially if you apply the following tips: First: Pick the right samples. Picking the wrong bass drum will drown out the bass line. Similarly, picking the wrong piano will make the vocal hard to understand. Second: Pick a melody on your keyboard. Play only one octave, picking about five notes on the same octave and playing them in re... (read more)

13. Introducing the Djembe
November 13, 2009

The djembe is part of the membranophone group of drums. In its traditional form this drum is constructed of wood shaped like a large goblet that has animal skin stretched over it. One of West Africas favourite drums it creates a deep bass sound when played correctly due to its goblet shaped shell. The drum's history can be traced all the way back to the Mali Empire of the twelfth century and to the tribes of either the Mandinka or Susu (also known as Numu). As the Mandika tribe crossed Africa the djembe travelled with them , it was readily adopted and over time its usage became widespread. Th... (read more)

November 12, 2009

The importance of good background music, clip or sound effect in videos can't be emphasized further. You experience it in every video clip and every movie you see and make, be it in the big screen or on You Tube. Background music and sound effects do not only enhance your video, but it grabs the attention of the viewer, maintains it, sets the mood and creates the overall impact.

This is very risky, as you run the risk of giving yourself copyrigh... (read more)

If you are a drummer, you surely know how hard and costly it can be to get a high quality custom configured drum set that is tailored and configured to your liking. Current brick-and-mortar retailers and internet retailers offer no alternatives to long wait times, higher prices, and limited configurations that accompany the purchase of such drum sets.

25. Can You Play the Drums?
November 02, 2009

When I was a child, all I wanted from life was to be able to play every instrument under the sun. Pretty lofty goal, right? I spent a couple decades learning numerous instruments, a couple I mastered; with many of the instruments I considered myself an average player, but that was ok – at least I could do it! Years went by, I kept learning new instruments, and I was very proud of myself. One day, I decided it was time to learn the drums. I started with the snare drum, and I was fair at playing that. Next, the tri-toms, the bass drum, symbols, and so on. Being the overachiever t... (read more)
