Drummer

Drummers are perennially underrated. Some writers make rock critic jokes, even other musicians make drummer jokes. But where would the Beatles be without their drummer Ringo Star. The real human drummer was replaced with electronic computer machines during the eighties and nineties for a while, but music fans realized that this was not as good as the sound of a real talented drummer.

Will Partridge Drummer Boys of the American Revolution Drummer Boys played a valuable role in the war. They supported the troops by: 1) completing camp chores to free the men for more difficult tasks, and 2) They played duty calls and signals to tell the soldiers what to do during combat and played marching music to boost troop morale. 3) They helped sustain order and discipline. The drummer boys were from the thirteen colonies. They were often enlisted by their parents or if they were

be selfless, needs to be an example of a strong leader and is not someone who is unwilling to help. In the poem “Drummer boy of Shiloh” by Ray Bradbury the drummer boy leads his men by playing a drum beat (Bradburry 16-20). “You are the heart of the army. Think of that. You’re the heart of the army. Listen, now”(Bradburry 19). This is a big part of a hero because the 12 year old drummer boy was selfless to play the beats for the army, and the army was counting on him to do the right thing. That demonstrates

stripped away their youth and innocence and force to grow up way too fast. Many battles were fought during this time period, fields were scattered with lifeless bodies of young boys who never got to experience life. An historical fiction titled, “The Drummer Boy of Shiloh”, by Ray Bradbury gives us a clear insight of a confused young boy whose youth was ripped away from him.

We tend

cinematic techniques (mise-en-scène, cinematography, editing, and sound design) work together in the selected scene or sequence to develop the film’s central characters and themes? Damien Chazelle’s Whiplash (2014) follows Andrew Neiman, a fame-driven drummer joins the studio band at a prestigious music school, Shaffer Conservatory where he is acquainted with the manipulative and vigorous Terence Fletcher who pushes him to his limits.

I put together a list that features 15 well known drum solos from the 1980's. The List:

Drummers are now giving the feel of the heartbeat to the songs on more upbeat. When playing blues and rocked roll, this is spiritual too, but depends on the intention of the musician or drummer. When a drummer is playing a rhythm that is danceable, that is spiritual too, because dancing is a way to express one feeling. This feeling come from within and makes

My 2nd point is to explain how “modern” drumming began and what a modern drum set is ("Ringo starr," ). 1. Modern drumming really began a band from Liverpool, London. You can probably guess this band (The Beetles.) Ringo Starr, drummer, was one of the first drummers to be televised playing a rock song with a modern drum set. 2. What is a modern drum set? A modern drum set consists of a bass (or kick) drum, 2-3 toms, 1 snare drum, a hi-hat and 1-2 cymbals. C. My 3rd point is to explain
