Drum Percussion

I've known many good people who discount the relevance of art because it has not been explained to them in a way that they understand. Art is a quest for greatness in all forms. It sets the bar for humanity. It's the best and highest level of accomplishment that humans can achieve or fathom. An artful effort supplies the world with a path toward achievement. An Artful accomplishment offers the world hope of that achievement. Art is not mere entertainment. It is purposeful beyond all other physical things.

Hello Vibes Workshop members,

I'm very happy to announce that my book, "The Band Teacher's Percussion Guide: Insights into Playing and Teaching Percussion", (https://global.oup.com/academic/product/the-band-teachers-percussion-gu…) has just been published by Oxford University Press.

This is Michel Petrucciani playing the most beautiful version of "In A Sentimental Mood" I've ever heard. I decided to share it here because Tony recently requested ideas for solo playing and I forgot to mention this one.

Here's my mic set up. You can see the specially designed plexiglass PZM boundary I had made many years ago. It's shaped in a stereo configuration. I really like the concept of PZM. Here's what I know about it. I think the "PZM" (pressure zone microphone) was discovered in the 1980s. You can research it but I got my information from crown engineers. Crown owned the patent or patent rights. I'm writing from memory so it may not be completely accurate. The way I understand it, the "pressure zone" was discovered in the '80's. Here's how it was explained to me.

I was fixing up one of the rooms in my house to be a dedicated room for drumming. As I started building the sound baffles to help control the sound, I realized that this would be a great "Quick Tip" video to share with others. So, I started recording and explaining as I went. I spent the day putting this together. It's only my second video like this and I learned a ton about editing and camera placement (I learn from mistakes seen here). Regardless of the clamp above my head, the poor editing and camera work, I hope it's useful. It was definitely a great practice video.
