Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for producing a series of close percussions on at least one percussion instrument such as a bass drum, by a single operator.
- It also relates to a device for implementing such a method. It finds a particularly important although not exclusive application in the field of the rhythmic music industry using one or more large cases of instrumental drums. Methods and devices are already known using improved striking means for bass drums.
- Such pedals also exist in duplicate. For example, with a single kick drum, two pedals for controlling two bats are provided. A first bat is driven by a first pedal and a second bat is driven by a second pedal actuated by a second foot.
- This second pedal is for example also connected to the first by a telescopic extension, making it possible to drive the two bats together, if there is only one pedal.
- the present invention thus aims to provide a method and a device for producing a series of close percussions in particular with bass drum responding better than those previously known to the requirements of practice, in particular in that it allows fluidity to be obtained in unequaled percussion, with ease and rapidity of execution for the drummer.
- the bass drum indeed becomes more than a rhythm machine. It allows, like other more manageable instruments, to release a new musical voice.
- bass drum vibration effects known as wind instruments and / or strings, can be sought.
- the invention proposes in particular a method for producing a series of close percussions on at least one percussion instrument by a single operator, characterized in that the operator actuates successively and repetitively with the leg then the corresponding foot two moving parts each comprising at one end a bat suitable for striking the percussion instrument to form a rolling of at least four successive shocks separated two by two with a time of less than a quarter of a second.
- the percussion instrument is a bass drum.
- the operator or drummer being in a seated position, can increase and improve his performance by making combinations of new strikes and by executing kick games of kick drums.
- the method of the invention also provides notes and / or a character which do not exist and which are neither written nor referenced in current rhythmic scores.
- the drummer also keeps the possibility of using the Charley while executing rhythms complex, which would otherwise require the double set of right foot - left foot pedals.
- the operator operates four bats in parallel, to form bearings on two different large boxes, with his two legs and two feet correspondents; the operator operates in parallel, on the one hand two bats on the same bass drum, and on the other hand a charleyston; - the operator operates with one leg, to strike the same bass drum, two bats with an allegro tempo, performing at least two sets of four sixteenth notes in two successive times; the operator performs with the same leg at least two successive series of four triple eighth notes;
- the operator carries out a regular succession of at least four strikes separated by durations less than 1/8 of a second.
- the invention also provides a device for implementing the method described above.
- the invention also provides a device for producing a series of close percussions on at least one percussion instrument, by a single operator, characterized in that the device comprises at least one set of two bats arranged vertically, one at the top and the other at the bottom, in opposition to the percussion instrument, each bat being provided with means of actuation by the same leg / foot assembly of the operator, namely the bottom bat by the foot of the operator, and the top bat by the operator's knee or thigh, simultaneously and / or successively at very close intervals.
- This device in fact allows the operator or drummer to successively and regularly actuate the two bats by performing vertical reciprocating movements of the leg, the bottom bat being actuated by a movement from top to bottom on the pedal, and the top bat being actuated by a movement from bottom to top.
- the invention thus allows the drummer to easily produce a series of bass drum strokes at very close intervals, the frequency of the strokes varying according to the speed of the vertical back and forth of the leg. Again, this ability to perform bass drum "rolls" with one leg opens up new musical and sound perspectives.
- the nerve of movement is here the operator's ankle, which allows the energy of the rhythm to be transmitted up and / or down.
- the means for actuating the top bat include a mechanism fixed to the strapping of a bass drum provided with a system with a return chain connected to a movable part capable of cooperating with the knee and / or the operator's thigh.
- the device comprises a second kick drum and a second set of two bats fitted to said second kick drum, thus offering the drummer the possibility of creating successions of sounds of varying intensity at very high tempos with both legs.
- the drummer can thus and according to what he wishes, play using at leisure one, two, three or even the four bats.
- the device comprises a retractable instrument capable of cooperating with the top bat, for example constituted by a bell, or a wheel fitted with various instruments
- FIG. 1 is a schematic of one embodiment of an improved impact device according to the invention applied to two bass drums.
- - Figure 2 is an example of a new partition usable with the method and / or the device according to the invention.
- FIG. 3 is a flowchart giving the different steps of the method according to the embodiment of the invention more particularly described here.
- FIG. 4A and 4B show schematically and respectively a set of bass drums / Hi-Hat, and a set of double bass drums / Hi-Hat, according to two embodiments of the invention.
- Figures 5 and 6 are examples of writing musical scores for drums according to the embodiments of the invention corresponding to Figures 4A and 4B respectively.
- FIG. 7 is a simplified top view of a set of two large boxes with plate for fixing the boxes and support bases for knee pedals, according to one embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 8 is a side view of an embodiment of the device according to the invention.
- FIG. 1 schematically shows a device 1 comprising two large cases 2,3.
- Each bass drum has a set of two bats 4.5 and 6.7, namely two low bats 4 and 6 and two high bats 5 and.
- each bat is respectively provided with actuating means 4 ′, 5 ′, 6 ′ and 7 ′ fixed respectively in a pivoting manner to the strapping 8, 9 of the corresponding large boxes. Subsequently, the same reference numbers will be used to designate the same or similar parts. More precisely, each actuation means comprises a pivot axis 10, of the corresponding bat, a pedal 11, 12 suitable for being actuated respectively by the foot or the knee of the user and means 13, 14 for transmitting the movement. from the pedal to the bat, shown diagrammatically by rods in FIG. 1.
- the actuation means 13, 14 comprise, for example, in a manner known per se, a pulley system with return chain as described with reference to Figure 6.
- the pedals are actuated by the drummer to implement the percussion method according to the invention.
- FIG. 2 shows a first example of scores (tempo allegro) which can be played with the device according to the invention.
- the notes 20 correspond to the snare drum (played with the hands), the cross 21 in the lower part of the staff corresponds to the Hi-Hat pedal, and the crosses 22 in the upper part relate to the cymbals.
- Figure 3 gives the different steps used to strike the instrument. The drummer settles in 23 on his battery.
- step 24 He adjusts the height of his knee pedals 12, (step 24), which will allow him to be more or less subject to a knee strike. If the pedal 12 is adjusted in height high enough, the drummer can play in traditional and punctually in an improved manner as can be obtained with the invention.
- the drummer then successively performs a first knee kick at 25, then quickly (intervals less than 1/4 of a second), a second strike (foot or knee) at 26, a third at 27, (knee or foot) and a fourth (foot or knee) in 28, thus effecting at least four successive shocks, knee / foot / knee / foot separated two by two by times less than a quarter of a second.
- step 30 the drummer can perform the same operations with a second bass drum, or use a Hi-Hat etc.
- Each bass drum has two parts mobile 34 and 35 with bats, in opposition.
- Each bat has been marked with a letter A, B, C and D, namely A for a strike corresponding to the right foot, B corresponding to the right knee, C corresponds to the left foot, D corresponding to the left knee and E to the Hi pedal -Hat or Charley.
- rhythmic combination examples are given below in a nonlimiting manner, in Tables 1 and 2 which constitute a new mode of presentation of the notes struck by the drummer.
- FIGS. 5 and 6 also show examples of musical writing, always with reference to FIGS. 4A and 4B and the striking positions of the feet and legs (knees) A, B, C, D.
- Figures 7 and 8 show in partial view a device 36 according to an embodiment of the invention, comprising two large boxes 37 and 38 secured to each other by means of metal tie rods 39, 40, 41 and 42 fixed on one side to the respective straps 43 and 44 of the bass boxes 37 and 38, and on the other side to a plate 45, for example metallic and circular, on which rests the seat 46 of the drummer or operator 47.
