Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Malaysia can really be described as a melting pot of cultures, with a multi-ethnic heritage of Malay, Chinese, Indian, Sikh and a number of other indigenous groups. Having been born and raised in Malaysia, I have had the opportunity to experience and partake in this cultural spectacle that surrounds me on a daily basis. For the first two years or so of my early professional music career I spent time traveling and doing research on Malaysian percussion instruments and performance stylesIn 1979, I started the ASIABEAT project, which initially started o as a percussion ensemble whose performance encompassed all sorts of native percussion instruments available in the country. At a later stage I started incorporating other contemporary musical instruments (keyboards, guitar, bass etc). There are 6 ASIABEAT recordings released internationally under various labels that blend Asian music styles and instrumentation with contemporary musical instruments and approach - kind of ‘World music’.Although there are numerous ethnic rhythm styles in the region, I have focused on those of Peninsular Malaysia, specifically those of the Malay, Chinese, Indian and Sikh communities. The drum set grooves and patterns in this book are my personal adaptations and interpretations of the original rhythms. There are ten variations of each study group, resulting in a total of 40 dierent grooves. There is also a sample recording of the original ethnic style (traditional performance) at the start of each rhythm study section..it should give you an idea of what the real thing sounds like. Here is some general information on the rhythms, patterns and applications of the rhythms on the drum set.Included in the book are basic drum transcriptions of the patterns. Use them as a guide but more importantly listen to the recordings to get a better understanding and feel for the groove. At the end of each rhythm study section a loop is included with which to practice the relevant rhythm studies. tracks taken from my ASIABEAT recordings; Included in this book are 2 JOY (1982).....TAG (1984)
Download or read book An Introduction To Drum Grooves written by lewis pragasam and published by dynamic publication. This book was released on 2018-09-28 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Generally, in most performance scenarios, drummers are called-in/hired for one main particular purpose - to play solid grooves with good time and with a certain amount of creativity. This is the primary role of a drummer in most band or ensemble settings. In my opinion, the path to being a drummer with a successful musical career is all about having a sense of solid time, good knowledge and vocabulary of drum grooves in a variety of music styles and genres. The way I look at it, drumming is an art form, for example fine art or martial arts..in a way. As such, any art form has basic skills that need to be learned/studied with some kind of framework to work with. The basic skills or fundamentals are a prerequisite to setting ‘play’ in motion. The stronger your understanding of the basics and fundamentals, the journey in the development of study and play will be easier. The idea and concept of this book is to guide and tutor the budding drummer to get a grasp of the foundations and fundamentals of groove drumming in a variety of music styles. This book is tailor-made specifically for the sole purpose of rhythm study, hence there is no reference to or material on technical development. However, having said that, of course some measure of technical ability is required to pay drum beats convincingly. But here it’ll be more about hand & feet coordination as opposed to being able to play fancy fills and tricky sticking patterns. However, feel free to add your own fills (rolls) while morphing from one rhythm to another but it is imperative you stay aware of timing issues like rushing or dragging..work towards making smooth transitions.This tutorial will address the basic rhythms/beats of the following music styles: Rock, Shue,Bossa Nova, Funk, Cha-Cha, Samba, Hip-Hop and Slow Rock. The grooves are organised in groups of 15 variations per rhythm study, so there are a total of 120 drum grooves arranged in sequence for the beginner/ intermediate drum student. Notations of the various goose studies are included to give a clearer picture of the respective parts that make up the groove.

Another major addition to the eighth edition is the publication of a companion Reader, entitled Critical Issues in World Music.

Having available both an area studies and a thematic approach to the materials offers important flexibility to instructors and also provides students with additional means of engaging with the musics of the world. A companion website with a new test bank and fully updated instructor’s manual is available for instructors. Numerous resources are posted for students, including streamed audio listening, additional resources (such as links to YouTube videos or websites), a musical fundamentals essay (introducing concepts such as meter, melody, harmony, form, etc.), interactive quizzes, and flashcards.
