| Drum Kit components explained in detail | ||
| The history of the drum kit is a long and involved one, but the important thing to remember is that the drum kit is quite literally just a "kit of drums". Drummers have used a wide variety of different bits n' pieces to make up their kits over the years, and some of them have become so widely used and accepted they have become a "standard piece" of the average drum kit. Although these standard pieces have often developed quite considerably from the original item, it is important to remember that what we see of a drum kit today is really a collection of separate instruments with sometimes separate histories. | ||

| Tommy Igoe's "Groove Essentials"
| ||
| Vic Firth has teamed with Tommy Igoe to create the "Groove Essentials" - 47 drumset grooves that every serious drumset player should know. Ranging from Rock, Funk and R&B to Jazz and World, these grooves cover a broad range of styles required in today's musical repertoire. Initially conceived as a 22 x 36" poster to hang in private studios and band rooms, the project expanded dramatically when we filmed Tommy performing each groove, as well as giving his unique insight into its application. Quicktime video and audio clips of these "mini-lessons" are available on the Vic Firth website for you or your students to check out - as are downloadable handbooks of the styles for the practice room and private lesson studio! |
