Drum kit

You see how things work or how things live. Mountain Men like Kit were the best at it. They were so good at it that they would get to guide other explorers like John Freedmont. Kit guided John through the great basin, Oregon, and California. If it wasn’t for Kit the United States wouldn’t be the size it is today. John even described Kit as having supernatural powers. Most would think of a mountain man as being nasty and illiterate, but kit was intelligent. He could speak many different…

She then pulls out her book and reads the directions. The directions say to start outside the city walls. Then head North to a cave. Next knock on the cave. The cave should…

Both writers see narrative as overwhelmingly malleable, shattering traditional novel forms. Milan Kundera’s The Book of Laughter and Forgetting is diffuse with, tone, plot, and characters seem to wander all over the map. Gunter Grass’ My Century is constructed in a similar manor. However, both novels carry a strong thematic and emotional content. Kubdera’s shattered, oblique approach to narrative, and Grass’ step-by-step march through the years. This essay will comment on the effectiveness of…

I had experienced the influence of my previous drum majors, and I wanted to do the same for everyone else. The process for becoming drum major starts with an interview, and the marching band staff asks typical questions; “Why do you want to be drum major?” “What will you do for the band?” “How will you deal with problems within the band?” But there was one question in particular that really stood…

A film is an art form. Composer, Henry Mancini, once said, “the real creative power is in the mind and heart of the composer.” Henry Mancini was the composer for Touch of Evil and Breakfast at Tiffany’s. While these two films may seem like they don’t connect with each other at any point, they do and it is with Henry Mancini. By examining Touch of Evil and Breakfast at Tiffany’s through the lens of Henry Mancini’s music choices we can see that Mancini’s music choices were just as important as…

Soon the dancers’ moves start to evoke a particular feeling of refinement and elegance, even coquettishness and seduction. The…

Breaks are not something people take the time to think about. Even if they are fundamental to the vehicles many people use every day. The functionality of breaks is contributed to physics and engineers ability to understand that physics. There is a lot going on when people press on the brake pedal in their car. The most basic principle of brake pads is in fact friction. This friction is the thing that transfers the energy of the car moving forward to heat energy. Brakes also use pressure as a…
