Par NILLES ANIKA. If you don’t have access to your drums regularly, travel a lot, or have neighbors with sensitive ears, you will already have a PRACTICE PAD. But practicing without a drum kit is special! To keep your hands agile and dive deeper into EFFECTIVE METHODS that really improve your pad technique, ANIKA NILLES‘ PAD BOOK is JUST THE THING!  Anika gives plenty of options WHAT AND HOW to practice on a pad. Practice pads are particularly well suited because they reduce drumming to one basic sound source. This way you follow a process of continuous progression in terms of stickings and rudiments, phrasings and rhythm concepts. The FUNDAMENTAL WORKOUTS are allocated to four chapters: Subdivision Studies, Mixed Meters, Hand Independence, and Polyrhythms. The result is a complete system with triplets, 16th notes, quintuplets, sextuplets and septuplets, which are broken down into individual steps starting with a very basic layout before moving to more complex rhythms. The focus is on building up and consolidating fundamentals across all note values, raising awareness on a feel for time and rhythm, and presentation of many possibilities on how you can expand acquired skills. Anika also puts together a collection of WARM-UPS which suggest ideas on how you create your own rhythm patterns out of the technical features in this book. The deeper meaning underpinning Anika’s ideas is always how to be MORE CREATIVE. It is about working on your weaknesses, developing new ideas and rhythms for yourself, or simply looking at familiar things from a different perspective. Back on the DRUM KIT you will find that you can focus on more specific, musically relevant topics such as sound, orchestration, and dynamics, since the hands, body, and mind have already internalized the basics practiced on the pad.

Par MANTOVANI BRUNO. Contrary to what one might think, it is particularly difficult to write a solo or concertante work for an instrument that a person is very familiar with. Whenever I encounter this situation, I always feel a certain reserve or prudence, or even apprehension about leaning toward facility, in terms of gestures. Lack of objectivity can result in the imagination being more instrumental than purely musical. However, when Benoît Cambreling came to me proposing that I write a concerto for timpani, I did not hesitate for an instant because this instrument possesses extraordinary and often under exploited musical potential. This percussion instrument often provides a type of harmonic and rhythmic base in the orchestra, but can also assume the role of a soloist. I began by writing an etude for solo timpani making use of glissandi, rhythmic inflections, as well as the melodic potential. Once this first step was completed, I began to 'orchestrate' the etude, or rather to extend the instrumental material into the orchestra by creating illusions of resonance, doublings, and echoes. Sometimes, the timpani also become a reservoir of ideas for the orchestra capable of triggering textures (as in instrumental electronic music). Here however, the instrument is above all treated in a melodic manner, reinforced, or not, by orchestral instruments that create a backdrop and the illusion of extension./ Répertoire / Timbales

Par GLENNIE EVELYN / CAMERON P.. Beat it! African Dances is a brilliant resource for both general and more specialised music teachers working with beginner percussion groups. It presents sixteen contrasting workshops based on four African dances, providing invaluable material built on the National Curriculum requirements in music for year 4 and up. Inspired by the thrilling traditional music of Africa this book demonstrates how to develop a range of rhythmic ideas using everyday classroom percussion and the body. The group's work will culminate in performances of the four dances (with or without the enhanced CD backings provided), ideal for school concerts or assemblies. / Niveau : Débutant / Recueil / Percussions
