(Book). Here is a hard rock memoir essentially an authorized bio on
the endearing British rock band Humble Pie as told from the drum
throne and backstage hallways during the emerging days of the
Seventies classic rock era. In 1969, Jerry Shirley was chosen to
drum in a new band led by Steve Marriott and Peter Frampton. He had
just turned 17. Along with bassist Greg Ridley, and manager Dee
Anthony, the Pie started a 6-year journey that stormed the US and
defined Arena Rock bigger sound, bigger contracts, and bigger
parties. Along the way Jerry meets with future legends that make
for a star-studded bio and rare glimpse into the rock music
industry. Written in his own voice and with a wicked musician sense
of humor, Jerry details the vibrant scene that created the
explosive sound of heavy rock. He explains how sessions were
conducted by iconic engineers like Glyn Johns and Eddie Kramer,
describes his session work with Syd Barrett and George Harrison and
tells amusing tales like drum shopping with the Who's Keith Moon.
What was it like to perform a sold-out show at Shea Stadium, play
for 250,000 in Hyde Park, charter a private jet for tour, record
the trend-setting live record at the Fillmore East (that spawned
the FM radio staple "I Don't Need No Doctor"), get hyped for the
stage by Dee Anthony, and deal with the drugs and excesses of this
inhibitive era of rock? This book definitely answers those question
as well as "What was it like to meet, play, record, tour, party,
and fight with cult hero Steve Marriott?" No other book can cover
it like this.

The Synergy Method is the combination of traditional techniques
along with psychophysiology, kinesiology and physiology to assist
the percussionist. Kinesiology and physiology have been studied
over the years in music but to understand what is happening
psychologically will also help build the physical attributes of the
performer. Many musicians in their career will reach a plateau. The
Synergy Method will help performers to go beyond their current
level. This book will be helpful for any audition you might have
whether it is drum corps, indoor drum line, marching band, or even
orchestra level auditions. Instructors can use the exercises with

Synergy Method will help the player achieve better performances by
utilizing an approach that will transfer to other percussion
instruments, something that cannot be effectively done with other
rudimental styles.

While composers and percussionists are working more closely than
ever with one another, there are few resources that address this
collaborative relationship in depth. However, Samuel Z. Solomon,
himself a percussionist and teacher, offers a comprehensive
examination of the issues that percussionists and composers
encounter in How to Write for Percussion. The first edition,
self-published in 2004, provided musicians and music programs the
world over with practical and indispensible information about
issues of notation, concert production, and much more. This new
edition goes even further as Solomon offers more insights derived
from his personal experience as a percussionist and teacher and
from his collaborations with other musicians. The second edition of
How to Write for Percussion expands the survey of behind-the-scenes
processes-from instrument choice and notation to logistics,
execution, and concert production-to uncover all the tools a
composer needs to comfortably create innovative and skilled
percussion composition. Solomon also includes more excerpts and
performances as well as interviews with famous percussionists and
composers that capture the intricacies of percussion composition.
Moreover, the second edition features an expanded text with more
instruments and more analysis, plus an extensive Online Video
Companion containing over nine hours of videos with demonstrations,
performances, interviews, and analysis to flesh out and clarify the
material in the book. This updated edition of How to Write for
Percussion will appeal to a wide swath of musicians including
composers, arrangers, and percussionists. Those who have already
utilized the first edition will welcome the upgrade, and those who
have yet to benefit from Solomon's perspective will likewise find
his insights illuminating.
In African drum ensembles, a musician establishes a time line which
establishes the points of entry for the different instruments. So
the player must know the role of the particular instrument in the
totality, and also the rhythm or rhythms assigned to it and
precisely where they fit into the music. Opportunities to learn and
appreciate drumming is limited in contemporary contexts, and it is
against this background that the International Centre for African
Music and Dance at the University of Ghana has embarked on this
project aimed at making African drum music accessible to a wider
public in the form of musical scores, audio and video recordings.
Although essentially cultivated and practiced by oral tradition,
the value of transcriptions is not disputed by African musicians.
The three titles in the series cover different types of drum; and
each gives information on performance practice and instruments, the
full score of the work, vertical alignment and bibliography.
