THE MYSTERY DRUM
- click on thumbnail to have a good look at it!
Help me out. What brand is this snare drum? No badge, no glue rings on
inside. Drab white wrap. Figure at least 15-20 years old and looks it. But
it sounds amazing, has great presence, yet warm. Works in big band, small
band, concert band -- you name it. And, by the way, it's not for sale!
Small reward
given to the first person who can authoritatively tell us the brand of this
drum. Please email me.
Thanks. Rob Zollman

HOW DID IT GET THAT WAY?
Beginning students on snare drum
At the
Music
Learning Centers,
most of our students come to us wanting to play drum set. Why is it
that so many teachers insist on starting students on snare drum?
Granted, there are good reasons to to develop snare drum technique,
but not necessarily right off the bat. Our experience is that for many
kids starting on the snare drum by itself is deadly. Rather than
provide an incentive, it encourages kids to quit. There's just not
enough musical incentive to hang in there long enough to be "rewarded"
with the drum set experience. Therefore,
we believe that students who want to
play the drum set should start with the drum set.
How did this snare only approach get its start? We think it dates back
to the early 20th century - before the drum set evolved -- when
concert bands, marching bands and orchestras were the only available.
Every group had several percussionists. Snare, bass and cymbals were
each played individually. That tradition continues today in grade
school music programs, where larger bands and orchestras remain the
vehicles for involving large numbers of musicians in a group. And in
defense of those programs, they do effectively address the need to get
kids to play music with others.
BUYING ADVICE
Avoid purchasing entry level snare drum kits
Even though we sell them, we believe if
you're going to end up with the entire set, don't bother starting with
the snare drum. The convenience factor of buying the drum, a stand and
a case is enticing, but you will end up with a 2nd snare drum when you
buy the entire drum set. That's because drum sets include snare drums,
so you won't save anything by turning it down. So we suggest you buy
the set, which includes the snare drum and stand. If you're going to
move the drum, buy a case or bag separately. Try to find a case which
allows storage of the stand. Here's another suggestion: With your
leftover money from not buying the snare kit, purchase a decent music
stand for your practice. A music stand is the number one most common
item omitted from purchasing musical equipment.
