Texts

The following texts are required for drumset/percussion lessons and form the foundation for building your personal library on percussion pedagogy and technique. As it may take you a while to acquire all of these texts either through time or funds, I have included the call numbers of those books found within the School of Music library, noted as SOM library. PLEASE be sensitive to others and share or return these items on time. Almost everyone will be at various levels of ability on drumset/percussion so not all of these texts may apply to everyone. If you have any questions about the following list please ask. There are hundreds of drumset books out there which all have something to offer—these few are intended as a launching point for a particular reason: style, reading or technique. We will be looking at much more according to each individual’s performance level.

Implements/Other Important Items/Personal Equipment

As with textbooks, CD’s and equipment, sticks and mallets can really add up! You should try and slowly build your collection of sticks and mallets according to when you might need them. If you run into a musical situation that calls for an implement you don’t own—try and buy it! This is also good for small percussion accessories. If you have any questions about any other implements, please ask.

Implements

(Items in parenthesis are suggestions only—try them out to see if you like them) 1 pair of lightweight drumset sticks (Innovative Percussion-Ed Soph Maple) 1 pair of medium to heavyweight drumset sticks (Zildjian-Vinnie Colaiuta) 1 pair of general snare drum sticks (Vic Firth General SD-1) 1 pair of brushes (Regal Tip, 551 XL) 1 pair of multi-rods (Pro-Mark, Hot Rods) 1 set of (4) vibe mallets- medium- hard (Innovative Percussion RS-301) 1 set of (4) vibe mallets-soft (Innovative Percussion RS-201) 1 set of soft timpani mallets or mallet suitable for rolling on cymbals

Other Important Items

Practice Pad (HQ Percussion "Real Feel") Metronome (Roland DB-88 "Dr. Beat") Conga Wrench Drum Key! Hand lotion with Lanolin for conga playing (unscented-try Eucerin hand lotion) 2 Black Hand Towels (for placing sticks on music stands, etc)

Personal Equipment

You should have your own drumset cymbals. If you want to bring your bass drum and hi-hat pedals that is fine but you will need a place to store them. Everyone should consider purchasing a cowbell and synthetic woodblock as well as a shaker. The following are some suggested instruments:

Latin Percussion, Jam Block-Large Latin Percussion, Mambo Cowbell

Rhythm Tech Studio Shaker or Live Shaker Rhythm Tech DSM2 Universal Mount

Pearl Adjustable Mount (PPS37) This is super strong for cowbells, etc. Practice Rooms/Keys/Golden Rules For Living

The following is a listing of practice rooms you may use. Since these rooms are also for combo’s it is important that you leave the contents intact so that the next drumset performer or combo does not have to search for equipment. There are also two drumsets found in the jazz cabinet in the rehearsal hall (and a drumset in the Cady Room of Stearns). When you move a drumset, make sure you take extreme care in loading everything onto a cart, use padding and collapse all of the stands. There is a


checkout drumset stored in the practice room. In order to check this drumset out—you must contact Professor Gould first and then the rest of the studio. If it is not already in use, you must provide safe transportation—make sure it leaves the building in cases. You may not check this out for more than one day without contacting Professor Gould. Please report all equipment problems to Professor Gould.

Practice Rooms for EVERYONE

• Keep all of these practice rooms locked at all times—even if you are leaving for a short period of time!

• If someone is using a practice room you do not recognize, ask them who they are and report this immediately to one of the Jazz faculty as well as the info office. (This excludes audition days!).

• DO NOT lend your key to anyone for any reason-ever! These facilities are for jazz majors only.

• Do not leave your trash, sticks, mallets or music in any of the practice rooms. Please take all of your stuff with you when you leave—even if you are coming back later that day. No food or drink—ever (unless you have water in a plastic container with lid). Please return all of the instruments you use back to their original storage place or where you found them. You can get a locker to store your gear from the person at the info office at the beginning of the year. I will be working on getting bigger lockers.

Practice Rooms and Professor Gould’s Office:

1016-Gould’s office. 2 drumsets, marimba, vibes and an array of percussion. 1136- drumset practice room 1138- storage room 1133- combo room (corner) drumset and vibraphone 1135- drumset practice room 1142- drumset practice room 1125- combo room (inner hallway) drumset and vibraphone Golden Rules for Living (As found in many percussion studio’s across the country!)

If you open it, close it. If you turn it on, turn it off. If you unlock it, lock it up. If you break it, admit it. If you can’t fix it, call in someone who can. If you borrow it, return it. If you value it, take care of it. If you make a mess, clean it up. If you move it, put it back. If it belongs to someone else, get permission to use it. If you don’t know how to operate it, leave it alone. If it’s none of your business, don’t ask questions.


PERCUSSIVE ARTS SOCIETY

The Percussive Arts Society is an international organization that focuses on the study and advancement of the art of percussion. There is one chapter from each state and one chapter from each foreign country. In November of each year, the Percussive Arts Society International Convention is held which features concerts, clinics and many booths from the percussion industry. The convention is a lot of fun to attend, highly educational and recommended for anyone planning on a career in percussion. Once a year, the Michigan chapter of P.A.S. holds a Day of Percussion. The events change from year to year, as does the location. The society’s magazine, Percussive Notes can be found in the SOM library. You can find the most current subscription information at www.pas.org. There are special rates for students and everyone should become a member if you are not so already.

"It's important that all percussionists and drummers, no matter what style of music, support each other. Organizations like PAS play a very important role in continually educating and supporting percussionists and drummers all over the world." - Kenny Aronoff

Modern Drummer

It is good to keep up on current drummers in Pop, Latin and Jazz as well as new equipment, etc. When you need a break, it is in the library along with all of the other periodicals. Listening/Videos

Each student should be actively listening to as much music as possible from a diverse pool of styles and performers. I have tried to include a variety of resources in this handbook to help get you started discovering what the School of Music Library has to offer. It is important that you find the time to listen to music, play-a-long with tunes and listen to music that has been assigned to you during your individual lesson times.

Coursetools

I will be working with the jazz faculty to create a listening list located in coursetools via iTunes U. This will include the tunes listed for freshman and sophomore juries as well as other tunes. I will also be asking you for help in compiling a comprehensive list of recordings. This may include you doing some research in the library or using recordings you already have—stayed tuned.

Double Time Top 100 Historically Significant Recordings

I have also included a listing of the Double Time Top 100 Historically Significant Recordings compiled by Jamey Aebersold. It is his company’s opinion of what they think are the top 100 recordings—it is just an opinion but a great place to start listening. I have searched the SOM library to see what we own and have included the call numbers. (See Appendix A)


Latin Recordings

Included in this handbook are a listing of ten collections of Latin CD’s recently purchased by the SOM library. These will be quite useful for those of you who are studying these styles with me on drumset, congas, etc. (See Appendix B)

Videos

The School of Music also has an extensive drum video library. We have been slowly building these up over the years for you to view, study and in some cases have the pleasure to play-a-long with the artist. Percussion majors have a mobile video playback cart in the practice rooms that they may use to watch the videos while playing along with them. I will be working on something like this for the Jazz Majors as well. Please look through this list and start watching! (See Appendix C)

Juries

Juries are mandatory for freshman and sophomores. They occur each year at the end of the Winter Term (the exact date will be announced by the Dept. with plenty of advance notice). You can find a list of the required tunes in the Jazz Department Handbook. Professor Gould will guide you during lessons to help prepare for the jury and what you may expect. SOM Student Handbook/ Lesson Expectations/Grading Policy

SOM Student Handbook

All students should familiarize him or herself with the School of Music Student Handbook. The handbook you receive your first semester in school is the curriculum and guidelines you will follow throughout your program at the University. Graduate students should also look at the Handbook for Rackham Students in Music, Dance, or Theater. These books detail all of the curricula and policies set forth by the School of Music. Make sure you understand these extremely well—if you have any questions at all regarding any of the contents of either handbook, I am always available for advising as are people in the admissions office.

Lesson Expectations

Here are some general guidelines for everyone taking lessons with Professor Gould in regards to organization, weekly expectations and grading structure:

• Lessons will be set-up within the first week of class. It is YOUR responsibility to make an appointment with Professor Gould to set-up a lesson time (contact him in person (office 1016), e-mail ([email protected]) or phone (615-0215). Please make sure that the lesson time you arrange does not conflict with any of your other commitments, as changes in the schedule after the first week can be very difficult to rearrange. You must also have 4:30-5:30 available every Tuesday for studio class. These are mandatory to attend unless you contact Professor Gould well in advance of meeting. It is also your responsibility to sign-up for the correct course and section


number for lessons. Failure to do so will result in a whole plethora of problems for you—you must double-check this before the add/drop date. If you have a question whether or not you are enrolled ask me during your lesson time. • Each lesson will be recorded on a “lesson sheet” (see Appendix D). The lesson sheet is written documentation of what was reviewed during each lesson and identifies the new material that should be worked on for the following week. You are expected to complete all of the materials assigned to you for the following week. All of the lesson sheets and supplemental materials given to you during lessons should be kept in a folder or binder. I will also have a duplicate copy in my file to review before each lesson, keep track of your grades and track your progress throughout the semester. • During the first lesson, Dr. Gould will discuss with you a semester plan for covering repertoire, techniques, reading, styles and any goals one might desire to accomplish during the semester. There will also be a review of what was accomplished prior to lessons (if you studied with Dr. Gould prior to the current semester) as well as long-term goals. All of these will be written on the Lesson Sheet and factored into the final grade for the semester. Obviously, there are circumstances where one might not be able to achieve everything on the goals sheet—perhaps because of getting stuck on something highly technical or something highly personal—as long as one is working hard, it is a very fair system. • Each student should be sufficiently warmed up before each lesson. Try to organize your schedule so that you are not running from another class or worse--from across campus. • If you are playing something that requires a special set-up (other than drumset or hand drums), this should be done before the lesson begins so that little time is wasted during the lesson. I am always willing to come to you—setting up something in a practice room is perfectly fine. • Please bring all of your implements to your lesson regardless of what is being worked on. We might need a different implement given a new musical situation, technique, etc.,so bring your stick bag.

• All students are required to purchase method books, music or other materials being worked on for lessons or recitals. Please refer to the list of books supplied in this handbook or your lesson sheet for items you may need to acquire. Please ask if you are having trouble finding a certain item. Everything listed in this handbook can be ordered from Steve Weiss Music or Columbus Pro Percussion:

Steve Weiss Music 2324 Wyandotte Rd.

Willow Grove, PA 19090 (215) 659-0100

www.columbuspercussion.com

5052 N High St Columbus, OH 43214

(614) 885-7372


• Regular lesson attendance is required. Unexcused absences are not allowed. Each unexcused absence will result in one lowered final letter grade. In the case that you may need to miss a lesson, please let Dr. Gould know ahead of your scheduled lesson time. For excused absences, lessons will be made up with Dr. Gould at a mutually agreed upon time. In the case that Dr. Gould should be away for performances, clinics, conventions, etc., a make-up lesson sign-up sheet will be placed on the door to his office (or you will be contacted via e-mail). If you cannot find a suitable time, please contact Dr. Gould. Lessons start promptly at 40 minutes past the hour—if you are late…you will not have a lesson unless you have a very good excuse. This will also result in a lower grade at the end of the semester—no exceptions. If you are late—you will NOT receive an “A” for the semester’s grade. Each time you are late will result in a ½ letter grade lower for your final grade. You need to plan to be in the building, warmed-up and ready to go at your lesson time. Grading Policy

In an effort to try and take some of the subjective nature of lessons out of the equation and come up with a more objective grade, I will take into account the average grade from each week’s lesson sheet for the semester. Regardless of degree program, each student should carefully prepare all of the materials assigned for each lesson. There should be progressive improvement throughout the semester in both technical and musical abilities. The grade will also account for how much of the semester goals were accomplished as discussed above in lesson expectations. You must also bring “something to the table”. This means have some questions ready on the material you have worked on for the past week (or weeks) bring in recordings you have listened to and may have questions about, big band or combo music, etc.—my hope is that this level of inquiry will spur more ideas, practice material or new pathways of study. If you are expected to perform a jury at the end of a semester, this will account for part of your final grade (you must pass the jury in order to move on to the next lesson number. Professor Gould also expects all of his students to attend all big band concerts and combo concerts, percussion related

recitals, masterclasses, clinics and other percussion events held throughout the

semester. Failure to do so without an authorized excuse will result in a 1/2 lower

grade (A to an A-). YOU MUST SUPPORT YOUR PEERS. Grade Breakdown: A = Excellent. The student shows exceptional and solid preparation, practiced with extreme consistency between lessons, was professional in manner, and made superior progress in technique and musical understanding of all assigned material. B = Average. Preparation shows some inconsistency in practicing, mild improvement in technical goals, and adequate enough progress that new materials may be assigned. However, given reasonable expectations, the student is clearly not working to his/her highest potential. C = Fair. This grade represents poor preparation, lack of consistent practice between lessons and little improvement technically or musically. No new material will be assigned. D = Poor. This grade is given for a lesson that is clearly not prepared and shows little or no consistent practice. No new material will be assigned.


E = Given only in the rarest of circumstances. Such a grade indicates that the student has made no effort whatsoever. (These grade descriptions I thought were very good and were taken from Clemson University Percussion Policies—Dr. Paul Beyer)

Tips for Being a Responsible Percussionist (From Furman University and found throughout the percussion world) • Assist your colleagues in striking the stage following a percussion recital -- even it you didn’t play. This

is common courtesy and will be greatly appreciated when you are the performer. • Arrive far enough in advance of a rehearsal to guarantee that all equipment is set up and you are properly

warmed up before the rehearsal begins. This may mean from ten minutes to an hour before a rehearsal depending on the complexity of the set-up.

• Following a rehearsal, remain long enough to return all equipment to its proper location. Leaving before this task is complete is selfish and inconsiderate to those who remain. Even if you did not play an instrument, help everyone until the task is complete.

• Never challenge a conductor’s musical decisions during rehearsal. "The conductor is always right, even when he/she is wrong." Use your section leader or principal to communicate alternative opinions.

• Do not rely on other’s to bring music, mallets, or equipment you are required to provide. Avoid the reputation of being the "mallet moocher" or worse, the "percussion parasite."

• Come to rehearsals with your music learned. Rehearsals are for rehearsing, not for practicing. • Your ears are extremely important to any musician. Wear ear protection when necessary. • Keep a calendar so that you do not "double book," forget engagements, or simply fail to have your time

organized. • Attend as many percussion related performances as possible, especially those by professionals in the field.

One can learn an incredible amount by witnessing your colleagues or the professional percussionist who makes a living at this craft.

• Read as much as possible regarding percussion. The SOM Library has an excellent collection of books, videos, and music about percussion. Percussive Notes and Modern Drummer are found on the periodical shelves. Check out the websites on the Internet, too.

• Share information with your colleagues by using the “Cage” bulletin board or via e-mail. Whether it be jobs, an interesting article, a new technique, a great concert next week, etc. share your ideas and information with your colleagues. Don’t be selfish with your knowledge.

• Percussionists have a reputation for being cordial, positive, and good humored. Honor that reputation and continue to build a positive image wherever you take your musical activities.


APPENDIX A Double Time Top 100 Historically Significant Recordings Most of the recordings listed are from the 40's 50's & 60's Bebop era. This is due to the strong influence this particular period of music has had on our current "Modern Jazz" scene today. We have purposely left off early records due either to the tremendous amount of material recorded by the artist or the poor recording quality. Enjoy! Jamey D.
