Book excerpt: The drum kit has provided the pulse of popular music from before the dawn of jazz up to the present day pop charts. Kick It, a provocative social history of the instrument, looks closely at key innovators in the development of the drum kit: inventors and manufacturers like the Ludwig and Zildjian dynasties, jazz icons like Gene Krupa and Max Roach, rock stars from Ringo Starr to Keith Moon, and popular artists who haven't always got their dues as drummers, such as Karen Carpenter and J Dilla. Tackling the history of race relations, global migration, and the changing tension between high and low culture, author Matt Brennan makes the case for the drum kit's role as one of the most transformative musical inventions of the modern era. Kick It shows how the drum kit and drummers helped change modern music--and society as a whole--from the bottom up.
Download or read book Marching to the Drums written by John Norris and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2012-02-29 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Military drummers have played a crucial role in warfare throughout history. Soldiers marched to battle to the sound of the drums and used the beat to regulate the loading and re-loading of their weapons during the battle. Drummers were also used to raise morale during the fight. This is the first work to chart the rise of drums in military use and how they came to be used on the battlefield as a means of signalling. This use was to last for almost 4,000 years when modern warfare with communications rendered them obsolete. Even so, drummers continued to serve in the armies of the world and performed many acts of heroism as the served as stretcher bearers to rescue the wounded from the battlefield. From ancient China, Egypt and the Mongol hordes of Genghis Khan the drum was used on the battlefield. The 12th century Crusaders helped re-introduce the drum to Europe and during the Napoleonic Wars of the 18th and 19th centuries the drum was to be heard resonating across Europe. Drummers had to flog their comrades and beat their drums on drill parade. Today they are ceremonial but this work tells how they had to face enemies across the battlefield with only their drum.
Download or read book Talking with Strangers written by Robyn Webb and published by Robyn Webb. This book was released on 2012-10 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why does a woman go to the Middle East alone? Why would a mainstream, fairly sane woman travel on her own through the Middle East - through Greece, Turkey, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and Egypt - when she is not a journalist, not rescuing any children and not on an archaeological trek? With an interest in alternate travel and ancient history, she ignores pulped opinion and terrorist hype and goes to find the ‘truth’. She sketches an itinerary, grabs her backpack and traverses the landscape from Athens to Cairo on local transport; through towns, markets and ancient ruins; and mixing with the locals on the way. Her pre-conceived ideas are shattered by simple incidents. The absence of ulterior motives creates opportunities for conversation, hospitality and a re-connection to people of many backgrounds and perspectives. Successive incidents contrast the media’s images and instead reveal similarities between cultures and a ‘truth’ that is beyond what she could have envisaged. ‘Talking with Strangers’ confronts entrenched opinions. It is a journey that takes the reader from Athens to Cairo and to a greater connection with people from all walks of life. It exposes cultural differences and human commonalities and engages in an inquiry of what human needs are common, and what the differences actually are. It demands that we have a greater inquiry and compassion for people, challenge ourselves and enjoy our humanity.
