  • Drum Circle: picchia un tamburo, sarete felici in due. La grande tradizione della percussione condivisa. Incontri a metà tra il workshop e la Jam session, per imparare e, soprattutto, divertirsi. Voci e percussioni per ritrovare la Via del Grande Groove. La presentazione in pdf
  • La doppia vita di Mr Rullante: teorie, pratiche, tecniche e musiche del tamburo tra Scheherazade e Jojo Mayer. Dalle partiture sinfoniche ai rudimenti, dall’orchestra alla batteria: un seminario di tre ore alla scoperta del ruolo del tamburo nella musica ‘colta’ e in quella ‘popolare’ (rock, jazz, pop) per ricostruire il legame tra le due vite quasi parallele della percussione, spaziando dalle marching band all’opera, dalle sinfonie alle cadenze militari e analizzando la tecnica, l’approccio e la pratica musicale, le modalità espressive.
  • Manuale di sopravvivenza per batteristi: 87 cose che è meglio sapere per vivere felici dietro ai tamburi
  • A volte bisogna usare le mani: rudimenti, teoria, tecniche e segreti del tamburo nella batteria e nella drumline
  • La batteria, dai rudimenti alla Rete: un seminario/conferenza dedicato allo strumento e alla sua storia, ai rudimenti e alle canzoni. Ai grandi batteristi del passato e del presente
  • I tamburi delle tarante: tammorre e tamburelli raccontano la storia della musica popolare italiana.

Another King is dead: Jim Chapin left us on July 4.

He was born in 1919 and he was still playing, teaching, practicing. Nothing more to say.
