- The Importance Of Design In The Popularity Of Bass Guitars
by Victor Epand. For almost as long as anyone can remember, electric guitars have been synonymous with the concept of design - and it has almost seemed to be the case that in order to sound good, an electric guitar must look fabulous. Whilst this isn't necessarily the case, it has taken a long time for the electric bass guitar to catch up with the standard electric guitar in terms of design and appearance - but t... products, articles, news
- What To Put On Your Band's Demo CD
by Patrick Omari. For any band trying to gain more exposure and better gigs a great demo CD is absolutely vital. If you have a set of songs that can really catch a listener and you record them well then it'll make all the difference and could really push your band into areas where you could never go before. Unfortunately many bands don't realise just how important their CD is and end up rushing it or doing a bad j... products, articles, news
- The Many Forms Of The Slit Drum
by Victor Epand. The slit drum must be one of the most ancient musical instruments of human invention. It is also known to have been used as a means of long-distance communication in the ancient cultures of Africa, Asia and the Americas. It has a number of different names, including the log drum, the slit gong and the wood block, but all of the terms refer to essentially the same instrument.
A slit drum is a hol... products, articles, news
- Fingerboards: Where The String Meets The Fret
by Victor Epand. My father attempted to teach me to play the guitar when I was about eight years old. I was not very interested, especially when I realized that becoming a skilled musician would require a fair amount of time and effort. However, fortunately for me, I didn't have to get out of it by complaining; I had a legitimate excuse. Try as I might, my hands were just too small to be able to deal with the str... products, articles, news
- The Many Sounds Of The Drum
by Victor Epand. There are dozens, perhaps hundreds, of different kinds of drums existing in the world today. Rather like a Dr. Seuss book, there are tall ones, short ones, fat ones, skinny ones, loud ones, soft ones, light ones, heavy ones...you name it, the world of drums has it. But perhaps you find certain kind of drum music more moving than others. Perhaps you prefer the crisp sound of the snare; or maybe th... products, articles, news
- Percussion Mallets: More Than Just Sticks
by Victor Epand. When I hear the term "drumstick," I visualize precisely that-a stick that is used to strike a drum (unless, of course, I'm hungry, in which case I go another direction altogether). Simple, right? Wrong. A drumstick, or more accurately, a percussion mallet, is any object used to strike a drum or other percussion instrument in order to produce sound. This means that the category of percussion malle... products, articles, news
- The Steel-Stringed Guitar: An Instrument Of "Tension"
by Victor Epand. The primary characteristics of a steel-string acoustic guitar are self-evident from the name. At first glance or from a distance, it appears completely similar to the traditional classical, or Spanish, guitar. However, closer inspection reveals that the strings, rather than being nylon, are steel, and there is no mistaking the sound of a steel-string for that of a classical instrument. Devotees o... products, articles, news
- The Electric Guitar: From Big Band To Rock And Roll
by Victor Epand. Compared to its acoustic cousin, the electric guitar has a very short history. In modern times, electric guitars are most often associated with genres such as rock and roll, blues rock, and jazz. However, this instrument has its origins in the big band music of the 1930s and 1940s. As the jazz orchestras of those days grew and their brass sections increased proportionally, the need for an amplifi... products, articles, news
