“The thing about playing percussion is that you can create all these emotions that can be sometimes beautiful, sometimes really ugly, or sometimes sweet, sometimes as big as King Kong and so on. And so there can be a real riot out there, or it can be so refined.”
— Evelyn Glennie
Greetings everyone! I’ve decided to start this blog in addition to my Facebook page so I can share my own insights that I’ve learned over two decades from observations I’ve had with everyone from beginning students to music industry giants. Many of these thoughts will be my own, so take them as you will anyone else’s opinions and try them.
If you have questions on anything regarding percussion, please ask. I’ll do my best to reply or answer them for you in a future post.
I’m calling this blog “the Stream,” just as a stream feeds a river, this blog will feed the bigger “Grand River” Percussion Solutions’ efforts for promoting percussion and the joy we have in playing. So, join me in a long drum roll and we’ll see where this goes!
