XYLOPHONE QUIZ Where is xylophone from? Greece What does xylon mean? Wood What does phone(in greek) mean? sound
BASS DRUM A bass drum is typically cylindrical with the diameter much greater than the height. Bass drums are too large to be hand held and are always mounted in some way. The usual ways of mounting a bass drum are: Using a shoulder. On a floor stand as part of a drum kit.
BASS DRUM QUIZ Which one is greater the height or the diameter? Diameter Two ways of holding the bass drum…….. On the floor as a drum kit Using a shoulder
GONG It originated in China and later spread to Southeast Asia, and it may also be used in the percussion section of Western symphony orchestra.
GONG QUIZ Where was the gong originated? china
CONGA DRUM There are five basic strokes: ? Open tone :played with the four fingers near the rim of the head, producing a clear resonant tone with a distinct pitch. ? Muffled or mute tone :like the open tone, is made by striking the drum with the four fingers, but holding the fingers against the head to muffle the tone. ? Bass tone: played with the full palm on the head. It produces a low muted sound. ? Slap tone : the most difficult technique producing a loud clear "popping" sound (when played at fast and short intervals is called floreo, played to instill emotion in the dancer). ? Touch tone: as implied by the name, this tone is produced by just touching the fingers or heel of the palm to the drum head. It is possible to alternate a touch of the palm with a touch of the fingers in a maneuver called heel-toe (manoteo), which can be used to produce the conga equivalent of drumrolls.
