Cellula RLL e relativi utilizzi
Salve a tutti e benvenuti al primo appuntamento di questa mia nuova rubrica didattica su PLANET DRUM!
Il mio obiettivo per questo spazio è di offrire diversi stimoli didattici, andando a toccare esercizi di tecnica ed il loro sviluppo, così come esercizi di indipendenza con incursioni sui vari stili musicali, toccando inoltre più livelli di difficoltà.
900 Series – Advanced Flexibility redefines Value
The renowned cymbal maker Paiste announces the launch of the 900 Series.
The 900 Series is crafted from 2002 Bronze, known for its legendary warmth, brilliance and strength. In sophisticated hybrid manufacturing the cymbals are refined with Swiss craftsmanship by hand hammering and lathing. A special finish slightly darkens the cymbals and amplifies the lathing grooves and hammer marks for a spectacular appearance that fuses roughness and elegance.
COORDINAZIONE & LETTURA
Ciao a tutti, in questo appuntamento vi proporrò alcuni esercizi per migliorare la coordinazione e l’indipendenza. Prima però devo ringraziare Luca Capitani e Francesco “Finch” Russo per avermi dato questa opportunità e Planet Drum per l’ospitalità.
A Avedis Zildjian – Ritorno al futuro
Ho iniziato a suonare la linea “A” della Zildjian circa 3 anni fa ed è stato subito amore. Mi resi immediatamente conto che il sound che ho sempre ascoltato nei miei dischi preferiti, quelli di una volta, fosse proprio il sound della serie “A”. La mia prima esperienza con questi piatti risale a qualche anno fa, con la vecchia serie “A” anche se la Zildjian aveva già immesso nel mercato, da poco tempo, la nuova serie “A-Avedis”. Poco fa mi decisi di provarla ed andai ad acquistare un Ride, il 21” per la precisione. Un gesto che mi convinse immediatamente al cambio.
