The Right Stick for the Right Job: Finding Drumsticks that are Best Constructed for Your Style of Drumming

By Victor Salazar

Drumsticks are one of a drummer's most crucial tools. They're our direct connection to our drum kit. Without the correct drumstick, many drummers can't play comfortably or to the best of their abilities.

Over the years, I've spoken with drummers - from beginners to professionals - who've had problems with their drumsticks. Either they were experiencing cramps in their hands or their drumsticks were literally flying out of their hands because they were unable to hold onto them while drumming. Interestingly, many of these drummers only experienced these situations during live shows. And in almost every case, it turned out that each drummer was simply using the wrong size drumstick. Once they bought the right size drumstick, all of their problems were resolved.

A lot of drummers select sticks based on how fast they can play with them. Many of us want to blaze around the kit displaying dazzling single stroke rolls. So it would seem logical to select the lightest stick with the least amount of mass in order to play with superior speed and agility, right?

Not necessarily.

The number one reason why you may experience hand cramps is because you're using a stick that's too thin and light for your playing style. The harder you hit, the more relaxed your grip should naturally become. This will prevent injury and allow the drumstick to absorb more of the impact. However, if you hit hard with a thin and light stick and attempt to loosen your grip, one of two things usually results: either you develop a cramp or you lose the ability to hold onto your stick.

You can't grasp a thin stick in a loose and casual manner and play hard: it's physically impossible, and the result will be sticks that will fly out of your hands. Conversely, if you attempt to hang on tightly to a light and thin stick while you hit hard, you'll quick develop cramps.

The best solution is to find a heavier and larger drumstick: you won't have to grip it as tightly and it won't go airborne on you. You'll also be pleasantly surprised that you won't lose speed/power/accuracy despite the increase in mass and weight.

In terms of why drummers have particular problems that only happen in a live setting, it's because many drummers unknowingly alter their playing approach. Their adrenaline surges, their blood pumps, and they reflect the crowd's energy by hitting harder than they normally do during rehearsals and practice sessions.

That's when the mess ups kick in, and as you can imagine, playing live is the worst time for things to go wrong with your performance. Heavier sticks offer a solution to these common troubles.

To see if heavier sticks are best for you, try this test: when you're demo-ing new drumsticks on a practice pad, try a model that's a little heftier than you think you need. You'll be surprised to find out that you'll be able to play with authority, ease, and plenty of speed/power. Your drumsticks will also probably even last a bit longer (saving some green is just an added perk of using the right drumsticks).

(BTW, Dave Grohl drums hard, plays with speed, and almost never seems to miss where he's hitting. While in Nirvana, he used Aquarian Power-Sleeve 2Bs, a durable, heavy drumstick. Today, he still uses a large stick, his Zildjian Dave Grohl Artist Series model, which is well-suited for his energetic style.)

Gringo Soul - Band Interview

By Jake O'neil

Recently I interviewed Brandon Giannasi, a solo artist from Dallas, TX, who goes by the name "Gringo Soul." Brandon finds a great deal of musical inspiration in acts such as Nirvana, Sublime, Elvis, and Creedence Clearwater Revival, and also finds a great deal of inspiration from art itself, like from the paintings of Vincent Van Gogh for example. Theses artists and more inspire Brandon during his process of writing his songs, which he describes as "funky" and "soulful." Brandon's stage name, Gringo Soul, comes from a time is his past when we was working with a group of Hispanic people who referred to him and other Caucasians as "Gringos." The word rand with him and he decided to, as he puts it, "roll with it."

In keeping with his performing name, Brandon tells me that he writes his songs about "being an average gringo" - the celebrations, the life lessons, hardships, and his growth as a musician. "Most of my creative thinking and lyrics writing come while I'm driving," says Brandon. "There's just something about it that gets me thinking and really gets my creative juices flowing." At 4 independent album releases and 34 songs to his credit, Brandon must do his fair share of driving. "On stage, I use my guitar, Korg Keyboard, loop pedal, K oscillator, and octopad. The crowd watching me perform get to see me set up each song using these components, and then I go into the song itself."

At this time of this interview, Brandon's been gearing up for The Trash Bash Music Stash - an event he's hosting on June 28th in Dallas. "It's a volunteer event where people will do a trash pick up on 3 streets here in Dallas," he says. "Once the pick up ends, there'll be a free concert with free drinks and food. And for anyone who doesn't feel like picking up garbage, tickets are also available for the concert for only $15."

I then asked Brandon if he could open for any band or artist, past or present, who would he want to play with. "Stone Temple Pilots," he says, "I have so much respect for the music they make. It would an honor for me to be able to play a show with them." Since Brandon has not had such an opportunity as of yet, he tells me that his favorite show he's played so far was at The Woodshed in nearby Fort Worth, TX. He tells me that at this show, he performed in front of around 500 attendees, all of whom seemed to respond well to and enjoy his music.

As a final thought, I asked Brandon what advice he might have for his fellow independent musicians. "If you're in a band and struggling to find an audience, or if you're interested in starting a band - if or when you get denied to play a venue or bar, you just need to stay strong. Get back up, and get on with your day."

The Truth About Cymbals, Part 1

By Vic Salazar

I absolutely adore cymbals. You could even say they're a bit of an obsession of mine. I personally own over 125 of them and use 50 cymbals on one kit and 53 on another. The variety of brands that I've played on over my 40 year career include Paiste, Zildjian, Sabian, and Wuhan.

While cymbals have been around for roughly five thousand years, there unfortunately have been some popular misconceptions about these majestic instruments that continue to this day.

So with accuracy in mind, it's time to do some myth-busting! Below are a couple of the popular ones that I've heard the most:

1. "Cymbals shouldn't be played right after being exposed to prolonged temperature extremes."

Lots of drummers believe that you should make sure that your cymbals become acclimated to room temperature before playing them if they have been stored in extreme conditions. The reason for doing this is the fear that the cymbals will break.

This myth simply is not true.

Cymbals are incredibly durable in terms of the temperatures that they can withstand. Given that they were manufactured at extreme temperatures of roughly 1,500 degrees F, it's really only at that kind of heat that would affect a cymbal. At real world conditions (even -20 degrees F or 115 degrees F), we are not even beginning to approach that level of extreme temperature. So if they're stored overnight in your vehicle in sub-zero weather or they've been baking in your non air-conditioned attic all summer long, your cymbals will be just fine to play once you unpack them and set them up.

2. "Over time, cymbals can age and wear-in through use, which distorts their sound."

Cymbals don't really age, they just get dirty. What many drummers are hearing when they play an "aged" cymbal or one that they've owned and have been playing for a while is a continued buildup of dirt. It is this dirt - along with oils transferred from our hands during handling - that influences the cymbal's sound, not the age of the cymbal or how long we've been playing on it.

In general, clean cymbals sound brighter and have more overtones, while dirty cymbals sound warmer and can be a bit drier. If you like more overtones, clean your cymbals. Keep them free of fingerprints, stick marks, and grime. If you are a fan of warmer or darker sounding cymbals, don't clean them. I guarantee that over a period of time, they'll naturally accumulate some dirt from playing and handling, and produce a mellower type of sound.

I had a recent chat with the great Steve Smith (Journey, Vital Information) about this very subject. He agrees with me, and also prefers the sound of mellower, darker, and drier-sounding cymbals for the type of music that he creates. Steve even jokingly remarked, "I wish someone would make some spray-on funk or dirt that you can apply to a brand-new cymbal to get it to sound like you've owned it a while!"

***

I'll cover more cymbal myths in future installments of this information series. If there are any that you've heard about, or are confused/bothered by, feel free to get in touch with me, and I'll be happy to clear them up and point you in the right direction!

What You Need To Know About Corner Bass Traps

By Ina Hunt

Music is an integral part of daily living. It has been a part of human existence since the early days. It has provided for a source of entertainment even way back then. Ancient festivals are never complete back then without accompaniment, as it remains to be so until today.

Music is also integral to optimization in most brain functions. Studies prove that the hearing sense of a child develop as early as the fetal stage. In fact, it is one of the earliest senses to develop. This is why most pregnant women are encouraged to listen to music while carrying their child in their womb. Soothing melody, especially classical pieces, can always do wonders for the brain. Most gifted and talented children are said to have been exposed to music at the earliest stage of life, allowing the brain to open up and absorb more.

There are many parents who are gifted with musically gifted children. While some of these parents can be quite supportive of their talented offspring, there are still some who think that a musical ability is inferior to intellectual capacity. Often, they make their children give up their love for music because it eats up the time that one can spend for studying. This should not be the case. It actually helps in the improvisation of mathematical skills. The steady beat that the bass provides will stimulate the part of the brain that control problem solving skills.

Most people fail to realize the essential part that it plays in every composition. They think that it is used only in very loud sounds such as the rock and metal genre. The truth is, even the slowest songs follow that steady beat only the bass can provide.

It serves two very important functions. For starters, it provides rhythmic foundation for a composition. Every song needs to have that certain pulse to follow so that the notes all converge well to make a beautiful melody.

Harmony is also provided by the bass, although not quite a lot of people realize that. Harmony is about playing several notes at a given time without it sounding off or anything such. Harmony can be achieved by a single person, such as a guitarist or a pianist. It can also be created and more pronounced in larger groups such as an orchestra or a band. When one hears several different notes all at the same time, the ear tunes it down in relation to the lowest pitch, which is the bass note.

There exist nowadays some musical devices that have the ability to trap elements in music. With the use of these so called bass traps, the way most perceive audio frequencies takes on a whole new level. They have the capacity to reduce LF resonance which is why they are used mostly in recording studios and home entertainment systems.

These traps come in two variations. There is the resonating absorbers that are used for narrower band action. They have the ability to absorb only a lower range of audio frequency.

The second type is called the porous absorber. It is the one used mostly by the public. They are small and lightweight as well. Yet, despite their size, they can suck in a broadband of audio frequencies. What is more, they are quite simple to make that is why others make their own than buy one in the market.

Akron, OH, Metal Band Ataxia - Band Interview

By Jake O'neil

What are your songs about? (attempting to avoid any cliche) But in life everyone experiences setbacks and let downs, what keeps them going is how the individual chooses to deal with the problem. They can either accept defeat or move past the obstacle and take their life into their own hands. Each person is responsible for their own path and we are trying to promote the fact that when you go down, be ready to fight to get back up and succeed.

Having dealt with many of these experiences as a band already, we feel the topic hits us all more personally and is therefore more enjoyable to write about. It serves as a release in way. Plus the themes themselves are relatable by anyone with a beating heart.

Where did you come up with the name for your band? In all honesty it was more of a trial and error process. We had each band member come up with a list of names that sounded cool and limited it down. Everyone was satisfied with Ataxia for the way it sounded. Short, and easy to remember. The meaning of the word itself has less importance to us.

Do you guys have anything coming up? Shows, new album, stuff like that. We had just released our debut EP, "Memoirs," and are playing that in its entirety at all of our shows in addition to a new single to be released within the month. The song features guest vocals from Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills and we are very excited to put it out. It's a lot different from what we've been doing but for the better. We are fortunate enough to open for Fallen Captive's EP release show on June 28th with many other Ohio metal greats including Along Came a Spider, Skies of December and more. In addition to that we are in involved in an online voting contest to play the blossom date for warped tour, so fingers crossed for that one. (July 17th).

What advice do you have for people who want to form their own bands? To try to keep this answer as short as possible, it's first about finding the right group of people and making sure that you are able to work together musically and personally. Individually, if music is where your heart is at and you want to perform, don't let anything stand in your way and keep acting on your passion. Act as if the band is one mind and each member is a different cog or gear keeping it running. If one gear fails, the whole project crashes. Also, to space out your shows so that you can bring in more of your fans. Most people don't want to see their friend play every weekend so it'll be hard to bring in a draw that way. By bringing a draw in front of the right people can help benefit you more than anything else, as networking is one of the things we value most.

Essential Elements To Contemplate When Advertising Acoustic Guitar Pickups

By Ina Hunt

There are certain factors which are of importance when it comes to marketing. These factors will help a marketer to develop a marketing strategy which is effective. This article looks at the necessary factors to consider when publicizing acoustic guitar pickups.

The first factor to think through is the proper identification of the potential consumers. In order to be able to market effectively, you must know the people to target with the marketing. Therefore it is important that you clearly know the people to target. You also need to know the needs as well as the expectations of these individuals. That is what will enable you to effectively reach out to them.

The other element to contemplate is the issue of competition. Since there are other people who are also dealing with the same products and are also carrying out various advertisements for their products, it is therefore necessary that you factor in the issue of competition in the advertisement. If you do not consider the issue of competition, then most likely your competitors will be ahead of you in the advertisement.

The important things to look at when fixing the prices includes the following. Firstly is to compare the various prices as fixed by the other people also trading on similar products. This will allow you to be in a position to know the right range of prices to use so that your prices do not fall outside the range.

In order to lure more people to buy your product, you need to ensure that your prices are relatively lower as compared to the prices of other traders. However while lowering your prices, you must confirm that you do not incur losses as a result of selling the items at a lower price. You must therefore also factor in the cost you are possibly going to incur including cost of marketing and the buying price.

The other factor to think through is the location of your selling point. The location is equally an important factor when it comes to marketing. You should ensure that the location is suitable. The following are the things to consider when looking at the suitability of the location. The first one is the security of the area. You should ensure that the area is very secure.

If the location of the place is suitable, then it will influence the marketing process in a good way. It should also be noted that if the location is not suitable, then your marketing will be affected in a bad way. It is therefore important for you to certify that the location of the place is appropriate. The appropriateness or the inappropriateness of the location will depend on the following.

Firstly is the security of the place. Security is very necessary for the success of the business. The other one is on the accessibility of the area and the availability of customers is the area. A location which is secure and easily accessible is considered as being appropriate as opposed to a location which is insecure and inaccessible.

Acoustic Sound Panels For Churches Eliminate Unwanted Distortion

By Ina Hunt

Music and speech are both improved by a small amount of reverberation, but at higher levels it can make both seem annoying and garbled. The choir and sermon are an integral part of many services, but become meaningless when the congregation is unable to hear singing or distinguish words normally. Acoustic sound panels for churches focus amplified waves and natural vibrations, making them more meaningful and pleasant to listeners.

Some European cathedrals are noted for their lush reverberation, but a very fine line separates a pleasant echo from a noisy, irritating mix of garbled words. Most reverberation is caused by noise bouncing off of hard surfaces such as walls and ceilings. Although there are some buildings that take acoustics into account in their original design, many churches are located in structures that have been re-purposed.

Although they did not have the advantage of modern computer modeling, historical attempts to correct the problem including adding absorbing ash to clay pots located in the walls and corners. This solution is primarily based on trial and error, with material added and subtracted until the desired clarity is achieved. Other methods included altering support pillars to redirect echo, or using specially cut stone blocks.

Today, solutions range from installing carpeting in strategic areas to using high-tech electronic reverberation systems that create a variety of listening environments. Both are effective, but neither can completely solve echo or muffling problems that are actually a product of the original building design. For many structures, a mixture of methods that also emphasizes special flat baffles creates the best results.

These structures are not used to block or eliminate words or music, but rather to absorb unwanted excess, usually within a single room. Most incorporate the same basic design method, featuring an inner filling made of absorbent material, a frame, and a covering. The filling may consist of various synthetic foams or fiberglass, or may utilize newer, more environmentally friendly substances.

Their size depends the extent of the echo and distortion. Some are as small as four square feet, while others may be nearly wall-sized, and most solutions require combinations. No matter their dimensions, they allow vibrations to pass through the exterior material rather than bouncing off, and any waves that return are re-absorbed. This principle is the same one used by music studios to emphasize accuracy, and can be easily adapted to churches.

Far from appearing to be an industrial or high-tech intrusion, these structures easily blend with most modern church decors. They can mirror the patterns and colors of existing stained glass, or can tie a room together by adopting patterns or colors on existing walls and ceilings. While a plain baffle is not particularly attractive, in many cases they end up looking like a part of the intended interior design.

While it is possible to precisely position or arrange them for the best absorption and diffusive characteristics using computer analysis, most are placed using the expert imaging made possible by the human ear. Once that sweet spot has been found, they are permanently attached. Rather than deadening volume or preventing certain frequencies from being heard, these structures clarify music and speech.

Metal Band ATAXIA (Akron, OH) Interview

By Jake O'neil

What are your songs about? (attempting to avoid any cliche) But in life everyone experiences setbacks and let downs, what keeps them going is how the individual chooses to deal with the problem. They can either accept defeat or move past the obstacle and take their life into their own hands. Each person is responsible for their own path and we are trying to promote the fact that when you go down, be ready to fight to get back up and succeed.

Having dealt with a great number of these experiences as a musical group already, we've felt the focus hits us all on a very personal level and it is for that reason more enjoyable to write about. It definitely serves as a release for all of us.

What is your genre? We get asked this question all of the time. Instead of limiting ourselves to one magnified genre, we like to write what we think sounds good and what everyone in the band is vibing off of depending on our mood. Some songs are heavier than others, some are more passionate. If you want to throw it in a genre call it metalcore.

If you could open for one band, who would it be? Tough question, but we'd have to go with a day to remember and august burns red because draw influence from both equally and they put on great shows.

What has been the biggest challenge as a band? The challenges we face grow and change every day and are defined in one word: balance. We all have many priorities ranging from school, jobs, athletics, so finding time for the band can sometimes be difficult. We are trying to progress as much as possible and that can only be done if everyone in the group in on the same level with our priorities. We like to call it "good stress." It keeps us moving and also in check.
