my chosen genre and secondary reaserch into my genre

My chosen Genre is Drumming there are many differnt forms of drumming from african to modern rock, i have chosen this genre as i my self am a drummer and have been for many years now. Here is some secondary reaserch into the differnt types of drums and drumming styles. Types of drum Aburukuwa Ashiko Bass drum Batá Bedug Bodhrán Bongo drums Bougarabou Cajón Candombe drums Chalice drum Chenda Cocktail drum Conga Darbuka Damphu Davul Dayereh Dhak Dhimay Dhol Dholak Djembe Dong Son drum Doumbek Dunun Ewe Drums Frame drum Goblet drum Hand drum Ilimba drum Karyenda Kpanlogo Log drum Madal Mridangam Repinique Side drum (Marching snare drum) Slit drum Snare drum Steelpan (Steel drum) Surdo Tabor Tamborim Tambourine Taiko Tabla Talking drum Tapan Tar Tavil Tenor drum Timbales Timpani Tombak Tom-tom drum Tongue drum sourced from www.wikipedia.com styles of drumming Music can mean different things to different people. When you say, “would you like to listen to some music?” to an entire group of people, they all expect something different. You turn on the stereo and some people will smile, some will frown and some might even leave. Different music, different people. If you stop to listen to music other than what you normally do, you might notice something else: there are countless drumming styles as well. From the thumping bass and rapid-fire snare of a rock tune to the wicked licks of a Latin dance groove, every type of music has its own drumming style to set its rhythm. Different drumming styles can be found within the same genres though, as each drummer adds their own special kick to every lick they play- even for the same songs. You can give the same assigned piece to two drummers of comparable skill level and watch the slight variations that come out. Some drummers play each note straight and clean, some like to add a little extra here and there and some will go for broke in the flash department. As long as the song is played well and they right rhythm is kept, what is the harm? Music and songs that rely heavily on drummers and their drumming styles can make up for a lack of style and substance in other areas by letting the drummer find his own “voice” but too much of that can make the deficiencies painfully obvious. Any song (with some very major exceptions) this is drum-heavy probably is failing in the other aspects and the group and ultimately the listener knows it. Some drumming styles make use of the lighter sounding drums and percussion instruments like the snare drum and the cymbals. Some make use of more heavy sounding drums like the bass and the tom-tom. Latin beats are generally used for certain dances, and may use a little mix of drums and other percussion and set the rhythm and flavor for the dancers to follow. Remember, it is generally the drummer that gives the dancers the beat to follow during their steps in the first place. Finally, remember different drumming styles may mean that you hold your drumsticks a little differently than others, or that you use brushes on your snares instead of sticks. It may mean that you let yourself get a little crazy, a little out of control or that you stay in perfect control the entire time. No matter what, the drum and the drummer is the heartbeat of the song and of the musical group, so his style and flavor will become everybody's.

Although at first this may sound like a bad thing, it's really not. The beauty is that not we can step outside our own culture and find different styles of drumming. Different styles of drumming range all across the world, from American to Japan to Liverpool and even far in the depths of the tribes in Africa and Australia. Although when we think of drumming we automatically think of the generic drumming we heard from most bands on the mainstream radio stations drumming ranges far beyond what we hear in these places. The great thing is that not just the style changing with the rhythm, the style changed with the sound of the drum. Often some styles of drumming are automatically definable, and even when these styles of drumming aren't definable we can still identify them as being foreign, or outside our culture. Samba music is based around drumming, where different drummers drumming in synchronisation all parade through carnivals in Brazilian festivals, the sounds range from drums as big as huge containers to simple hand percussion, this style of drumming is very rhythmic, there is often no melody or little melody, there is often no harmony and the drums are the main focus of the song, which I think is amazing. The style of drumming is interesting because it is so different to the way we work with drumming styles in the UK. UK drumming styles are often not the focus to the song but help to song to keep a static beat or tempo. Learning from different cultures like this, about different drumming styles can help us to look at our own drumming styles from a different perspective and also give us the ability to appreciate other styles of drumming. Drumming styles from across the globe can help to progress musically in our culture, giving us the chance to become more diverse and free, which means we will be less stuck in our own narrow minded ways which stop us from moving forward, may the future for music be free and open. Allow us to open our minds and senses to make fresh music. I encourage you to look beyond what is stated in front of you and search outside what we are used to. Become seduced in culture and become knowledgeable about other cultures. Make your change today.
