The Importance of Good Drumming Technique

Of all the musical instruments, drumming is perhaps the most instinctive physical response to music. There are countless types of strikes, rolls, and fills that cannot all be named. Depending on the style of music you want to play, there are specific techniques designed for that sound. Exploring, experimenting, and practicing these techniques will make you a better and more well-rounded drummer.

One technique often used in slower moments of various styles is the brush stroke. Instead of sticks or brushes, this technique uses your fingers. Use your fingertips or nails for a brighter tone and gently tap the drumhead. Don’t bend at the elbow, simply lift your arm up and down. This creates a soft, delicate tone during the quieter parts of a ballad, a jazzy break, or a slower rock song.

There is ongoing debate and differing opinions about the best technique for using the bass drum. The pivotal question is whether to keep your heel up or not. Keeping your heel up allows for rolls and double strikes and produces louder hits. It also helps you play for a longer period of time. Basically, with your foot raised in the air, simply drop it down onto the …

What is the Importance of Guitar Strings?

One truly underrated aspect of guitar upkeep for beginners is the importance of high-quality strings. Similar to wheels on a vehicle, many people mistakenly believe that their mere presence is sufficient – the car will usually drive as well as the guitar can play. While this is partly true, the wheels are the components that make contact with the road, just as the strings are what you play and therefore have a significant impact on your sound. They are truly vital, and there are a few things you should be aware of.

The appropriate strings for you depend on several factors. Lighter strings are easier to play – they are easier to press down, bend, perform hammer-ons and pull-offs, and so on. However, they also produce a thinner tone. Light gauge strings are commonly used and provide a happy medium. It’s worth trying medium gauge strings, as they can enhance the sound of your instrument, and you’ll appreciate how much easier it is to handle light gauge strings. It’s akin to practicing your wrist shot in hockey using a heavier training puck. If you’re accustomed to playing on medium strings, light strings can make a world of difference. Seriously!

Tips to Achieve Powerful Voice Resonance

Voice resonance, often referred to as the quality of someone’s voice, plays a significant role in how we perceive and hear our own voices. Most of us have heard the sound of our own voice on a telephone or answering machine at some point. Does your voice sound deep, rich, and full? Or perhaps it is high-pitched, sharp, and penetrating. The sound of your voice that you hear on the answering machine is primarily influenced by your vocal resonance.

As we discussed earlier, sound is produced by the rapid movement and vibration of air through the vocal cords. Resonance, on the other hand, is determined by the specific cavity in which these air vibrations resonate. Consider the difference between a violin and a cello. Both instruments have a similar string structure, but the variations in sound quality primarily arise from the differences in the configuration of the hollow cavity in which the strings vibrate.

In humans, these hollow cavities exist in our throat, mouth, chest, and nasal passages. The unique shapes of these bodily cavities contribute to the distinctiveness of each individual’s voice. For instance, when you have a cold and your sinuses become congested, your voice may not resonate …

Must See Museums in Miami

Miami is renowned for its sprawling beaches, crystal blue ocean waters, a few professional sports teams, and its vibrant Latin American community. However, what often goes unnoticed is the thriving arts culture that thrives in Miami. Beyond the numerous art museums showcasing the works of local artists, there are museums that narrate stories from the area’s history and its people.

The Bass Museum of Art specializes in art from various eras, dating back to the Renaissance. Established in 1963 by John and Johanna Bass, the museum features exhibitions that display international pieces borrowed from collections around the globe. Renowned artists such as Peter Rubens, Ferdinand Bol, and Armand Guillaumin have had their works showcased here.

The Charles Deering Estate was once the residence of Charles Deering, a prominent businessman and philanthropist. Both his father and brother were successful industrialists. The estate, which was built in 1900, is a three-story wooden house known as Richmond Cottage. Following its complete restoration after Hurricane Andrew in 1992, which cost $7.2 million, the property now offers a captivating glimpse into the lives and achievements of the Deering family.

In 1956, the Gold Coast Railroad Museum was established on the former Naval Air Station Richmond. …
