Search Results - Drummer

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

A drummer is a person who plays drums, particularly a drum kit ("drum set" or "trap set", which will also include cymbals), marching percussion or hand drums. The term percussionist applies to a musician performing on any percussion instrument, but usually refers to one who plays classical or Latin percussion. Most bands for Rock, Pop, Jazz, R&B etc. include a drummer in their lineup, who conveys the rhythm of the music by using the drums of the drum kit to play the beat of the song, which is repeated in every bar, with added drum fills, particularly just before changes in the song.

Some such drummers are session musicians and are not fixed to a particular band, working with various musical acts. Though percussion notation is some times used, many drummers create and memorise the drum beats themselves without songwriting credit. Drum beats vary in speed, volume and complexity depending on the genre of music, but are normally designed to lay down the rhythm and drive the music along. Drummers usually work with a bassist to make up a rhythm section.

Before motorized transport became widespread, drummers played a key role in military conflicts. The drum cadences provided set a steady marching pace, better than often accompanying wind instruments such as flutes (signal instruments such as bugles have another primary function), and kept up the troops' morale on the battlefield. Military drummers were also employed on the parade field, when troops passed in review, and in various ceremonies including ominous drum rolls accompanying disciplinary punishments. In some cases drummers had the duty of administering those punishments.

Drummers are no longer employed in battle, but their ceremonial duties continue. Typically the buglers and drummers belonging to the companies (which often have one of each) are massed under the sergeant-drummer and on the march play alternately with the band of a regiment or battalion.

1. SO YOU WANT TO BE A DRUMMER
February 07, 2010

So you want to learn to play the drums. Contrary to popular opinion there is a lot more to it than banging on the instrument and hoping that a melodic sound escapes from your untrained thrashing.

Like every type of musical instrument, playing the drums takes skill, persistence, practice, patience, and a sense of rhythm and timing. Without these skills your drumset and your dreams will remain in the shadows. FIRST THINGS FIRST First, consider how much time y... (read more)

December 28, 2009

However, you should know that they are not a replacement for standard notation. They have serious weaknesses and if you are truly committed to becoming a good drummer, you should learn to read standard notation as well. Tabs are instructions, they show you how to play your instrument. To a novice they look like a bunch of weird symbols, but they are actually quite simple.

December 18, 2009

What is one certain characteristic that the baby boom generation has consistently demonstrated in the post-WW2 era? Answer: they march through the decades to the beat of their own drummer. Boomers, as they are identified in slang, have never been much for the status-quo or for precedent, which has played itself out over time for both the better and the worse. Regardless of the outcomes however, this massive generation now marches on into semi or full retirement like life as they age into their 60's. As has been the hallmark of this demographic, they do so in a distinctly different mann... (read more)

December 18, 2009

Rhythm guitar playing is when the instrument is utilized to provide rhythm and accord to go with a frontman or other members of a grouping of musicians. Pretty frequently you can see a guitar strummer play rhythm to a lead guitar in a band. On these occasions it refers more to the sort of playing and not to the guitar being used, as these 2 guitars are very similar overall. Whilst the lead guitar supplies the tune, the rhythm guitar adds harmony and supports both the lead guitar and the vocalist. The bass guitar player and drummer both support the rhythm guitar but the rhythm guitar is ab... (read more)

16. Learning Drums - Difficult Or Easy?
November 28, 2009

Is it difficult to learn how to play drums? It's not rocket science, that's for sure, but it's not easy either. It may look kinda easy, but I assure you, there is much more to drumming that just hitting something with a stick. How good you get at it depends on how much time and effort are you willing to put in. Do I need any talent? Beginners tend to worry way too much about talent. Talent is, of course, good, if you have it, but it's not something that is going to make a good drummer out of you. If you want to become really good in drumming, what you need is - practice. A lot of practice... (read more)

17. Remember The First Time You Picked Up A Guitar?
November 19, 2009

I remember the first time I picked up a guitar and actually played something that resembled a tune or melody. It was a moment that changed my life forever. After all the dreams and aspirations of wanting to play the guitar (I originally wanted to be a drummer and I still do!). From there I just persevered through the bum notes, sore fingers and impossible chord configurations that I thought I would never get my fingers to negotiate. Persistence is the key. If you love something so much and are determined to conquer it, you can do anything. Keep in mind, that there is always somethin... (read more)

Pete Best, Former Drummer, The Beatles How can you be kicked out of the greatest rock band ever? Pete Best goes down in history as the most famous person, famous for not being famous. Best left the band just two years before their historic Ed Sullivan show. The reasons behind Pete Best's notorious 1962 dismissal as The Beatles' drummer have been a point of debate among Beatlemaniacs for decades. Some claim he lacked the solid beats needed to support a rock band, while others claim John and Paul vainly wanted a less attractive drummer. Considering his replacement was the dubious-looking Ringo ... (read more)

November 12, 2009

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. Most commonly what they do offer is standard 4 or 5 piece shell packs which, if you so choose to add-on or order something not in stock, involve special order wait times and additional costs. This, however, is a problem that one internet ret... (read more)

25. Meditation Versus Addiction
October 02, 2009

I remember listening to a drummer who played for some fairly well known rock bands. He said that there was one thing that allowed him to escape his addiction to drugs and alcohol. Finding yourself addicted to a substance is not fun. Knowing that you have a dependency on a chemical or more specifically the feeling it gives you can be a disheartening realization. The shock is so strong that some people tend to go into denial about the existence of the habit. Not wanting friends and relatives to find out leads to a lot of deception both for oneself and also towards those we love the mos... (read more)
