How to hold the stick and the position of the foot on the pedal

There are two ways of holding the stick:

1. Matched grip (see Figure I) 2. Traditional grip (see figure II)


Matched grip has 2 different ways of holding:

A. Closed hand / closed hand punch which rely heavily on the arm and wrist so that blows a stiff and tired hands, speed was very limited.
B. Open Hand / open hand where the thumb and forefinger are used to clamp the stick, while the other three fingers like a middle finger, ring finger and little finger play to push stick. When the stick is pushed touching the drumhead, it will automatically stick will bounce back, use the reflection to make the next shot (third finger stick pushing it back). Do it over and over again, like a basketball dribble saja.Traditional grip
This difference is the grip on the left hand, where the thumb stick clipped and placed between the middle finger and ring finger. Thumb that serve to drive stick. As for the right-handed way of holding it there is no difference, just like matched grip Traditional grip is more difficult to do than the matched grip because it controls the left hand is much more complicated. Beginning of Traditional grip
Traditional is the first to hold the stick used, starting from the year 1600. Traditional grip is actually required for the purposes of a marching band drummer at the time was that where they put the snare drum by way tie (like a bag) and the rope looped dibahu, so that the position of the snare drum tilted towards the right. Because of its position tilted to the right, then the left hand using a different grip with his right hand in order to achieve the snare drum (left hand like holding a pencil, but the stick is placed between two pairs of fingers and thumb clipped).
1840 newly discovered drumset (snare, bass and tom-tom) where three drums played by one person. Because traditional grip is hereditary habits that originated from marching, then use traditional grip also on drumset. Then again, this habit continues with the end in mid-1960, Ringo Starr (The Beatles drummer) took a step forward by holding the stick at the same position (left hand as the right hand), so it's like two people holding a hammer. To be called the matched grip. It turns out using the matched grip drummers can easily pull out the power / energy is desirable and also blow on his left hand to be more accurate.
And finally they also can be used in accordance with the flow of the song and the drummer tastes, to the tune of a gentle and need a touch, the traditional griplah the 'Speaking', whereas to play a groove / solid beats and more modern songs (rock), matched grip the most suitable.

Stepping on the pedal
How to pedal there are 2 kinds:
1. Heel down (see Figure A) 2. Heel up (see picture B)

Both the position of the feet can be carried out in accordance with the flow of the song and the drummer tastes. If you jazz (swing, jazz pop) then heel down is the right choice, but if you are the player or the fusion of rock and funk up the heel needed to create a more solid groove because of the speed and leg strength will increase.
Heel down heavily on the ankle to beat. So, you do not expect it to get hit hard with this position, just a waste of energy alone.
Heel to toe up using a pedal so that all personnel can be deployed. To get more speed at the heel up, so the position was reversed when the foot pedal (foot pedal when not detained but released again), then the pedal will return to its original position as drawn by a spring and you just stepped on it again to hit.

Hell drum

Hell drum?

Actual drum manifold. There snare, tom-tom, bass, conga, tymbal, mondo, drum, tabla ... etc., they actually were a drum, as played by being hit. But we are discussing is the drumset, which is arguably the most modern form of drums. Drumset itself actually consists of three drums, the Snare, tom-toms and bass drums. For tom-toms still be divided into two more, namely: Mounted tom and floor tom-tom (depending on the laying and diameter only). Of the three elements there are still some important elements, namely cymbals, hardware (pedals, hihat stand, cymbal stand, snare stand, tom holder / tom stand) and the drumhead.
Tom-tom comprises a variety of sizes in both the depth and diameter. A size 12x10 drum written bias which means the depth is 12 inches and 10 inches in diameter. Tom-tom diameter varies, tom-toms usually the smallest diameter of 6 ", and continues to 8", 10 ", 12", 13 ", 14", 15 ", 16", 18 "and 20". Tom-tom sizes 14 "and above can be classified as a floor tom-tom, but depending on the placement as well. Using 2 Tom-tom drumhead, top and bottom, except in the 70s where the tom and bass drum drumhead only use 1 only, and his voice was ugly. Agency tom-tom or commonly referred to as the shell is made of wood. drum class for beginners usually use Mahogany timber and for professional classes typically using Birch and Maple wood. Birch and Maple wood is more expensive because it produces a sound or tone that round and clear. Wooden on tom-toms usually have a thickness of 4 to 10 mm. Increasingly thin wood then the resulting sound richer and more sensitive. while the thicker wood the sound grew louder, but the sound is not too rich and less sensitive.
The bass drum is not too different from the tom-tom, bass drum only has a larger diameter, 16 ", 18", 20 ", 22", 24 "and even 26" or more. And bass drum beaten with pedal and put under. But it does not sound like a bass drum tom-tom-voiced "Dung ..." but tend to be voiced "Dug ..." (More dead voice). Wood bass drum tends to be thicker to produce a louder voice and for endurance drumming itself.
Drum snare drum is the most different among the other (from the form and voice). And the snare drum is a key element of the drumset (which most often beaten). This drum is usually measuring 10 "to 15", but the most commonly used is a size 14. "That makes a difference on the snare drum on the bottom of the drum. Beneath use wires or actual spiral called Snare Wire / Strainer . thing that makes the difference on the snare drum. If you hit the snare head it under the wire immediately responded, by way of 'hitting' head back down and result in a sharp voice. Consequently, the actual 'life' of a snare drum snare lies in wirenya. wirenya If removed the snare sound generated is almost the same as the tom-tom.
Cymbal, is again a 'life' to the drumset, because it is almost impossible to play the drums without cymbals (is like eating rice without rice, do not eat donk ...). Cymbals consist of 4 types of them, namely:
Hihat cymbals: 'heart' of cymbals and drums. Useful to keep the time / tempo. consists of a pair of cymbals. size 8 "to 15". Standard size 14 "
Ride cymbal: Same function with hihat but with different shapes and sounds. Consists of only one cymbal but large 18 "to 22". standard size 20 "
Crash cymbals: Useful phrases to give / tone in a song. Measuring 13 "to 22" depending on the tastes of the player.
Effect cymbals: cymbal effects consist of Splash, bell, china and swiss. Useful to provide 'color' special on a track. Splash and bell usually measuring 6 "to 12" and to china and swiss usually measuring 16 "to 22".

Hardware consists of a variety of forms and functions:
Pedal: Useful for hitting the bass drum, also available double pedal, the pedal that uses 2 pedals and 2 paddle or beater to get better sound on the bass drum.
Hihat stand: To put hihat cymbal cymbal consists of 2 pieces so that you can open and close the second cymbal with your left foot.
Cymbal stand: To put all kinds except hihat cymbal.
Snare stand: To put Snare drum and you can change her position as you like.
Tom holder / tom stand: Allows you to install tom-tom.
Drumhead has the size, type, function and different thicknesses. Drumhead consists of 3 parts: First Batter head, the drumhead is designed specifically for the hit. Second, Resonant only placed on the bottom of the tom-tom and bass drum front. This is not to hit the head, the head is useful to give 'live' on the tom-toms and bass drums. And the last is the snare side, specifically only to be put at the bottom of the snare to get a snare sound wirenya. Snare side head is the thinnest. Remember, not to hit.

Hitting technique drum

Hitting technique drum

There are many new drummer-drummer, even long play drums not know dinamankan rimshot punch.
One day when I become one of the assessment team when auditioning drum festival (music) in 2000, I saw 2 or 3 people a drummer who played with a heavy blow, but why his snare sound is still not audible (sound anyway, but the sound slow and not sharp). And it looks like he tried to hit hard snarenya be heard, but in vain. Then I saw that he was not using the technique Rimshot on his snare so that his voice was low and not sharp.
Many drummers who struggled to find a good snare sound, to the extent that they replace the head, download tune snarenya with different tension and some even up to buy a new snare. They do not know the key to getting crisp and snare sounds good ... that Rimshot!
Actually it does not hurt you are not using a rimshot. Regular hitting technique often used in country songs, pop. But if you play rock, fusion, funk, latin, jazz and metal that you need is you Rimshot!
If you do not already know about the rimshot, look at the picture below. This is a regular punch. End of the stick just hit drumheadnya course, the sound is not too focused especially if hit hard and fast drumheadnya will be concave. It was a blow Rimshot. Stick on the drumhead and rim on the snare at the same time, so that the resulting sound loud, full and sharp, with the punches as the drumhead, rim and shell will 'speak' so much character snare drum sound. Get used to playing by using this technique. This technique is a must if you want to record. So, make it a habit to use this technique on every song that you play.
