purpose of the ceremony is to call upon Orishas, or deities using the drums. There are three drums that participate in the communication with the orishas during the ceremony. These three drums are Iya (mother), dedicated to the Orisha Yemaya, Itotele (father) dedicated to Oshun, and Okonkolo (baby) dedicated to the orisha Chango. Iya is the largest drum, followed by Itotele and finally Okonkolo is the smallest. Each of these drums are made sacred by going through a specific consecration…

sermon called “The Drum Major Instinct;” it was based off an adaptation of J. Wallace Hamilton’s “Drum-Major Instinct.” In King’s sermon, he explains what the drum major instinct is and why you need to be cautious with it. King believed that you shouldn’t use too much of it, or too little, because it changes who you are and how you live your life. Now you might think that this isn’t a problem or that you don’t need to be concerned with this, but that is simply untrue. The drum major instinct…

Red sand fumes into the moonlit sky, beaded anklets rattling amidst the smoke. Throbbing drums clutter the fiery air, feet stomping and whisking through the thick clouds to the beat. Masks illuminate the crimson fog, voices seeping through into the quaking thump of drums. Flutes fold slender into the cadence, their airy tone shimmering amongst the clack of percussion. This is a night of celebration, a routine festivity to the Igbo people. Their dances are chaotic and minimalistic, although they…

the drum major this past year, I have learned a lot about being a leader within the band. I would like to continue this position so I can keep the band on the great path it seems to follow. Leaders shouldn’t be perfect, that is the worse possible thing for them to be. They need to be able to make mistakes, learn from them, and fix them. That shows others that leaders make mistakes too, and it encourages them to learn from their mistakes and improve themselves. Being chosen again as drum…

cinematography reflects the pure devotion that Andrew has. Chazelle also gives us the audience’s perspective in the theatre showing how the audience’s focus is purely on Andrew. Most of the shots are close up or extreme close ups as the focus is on Andrew, the drums and Fletcher. Chazelle said that he shot the movie as if it was a thriller with suspenseful film techniques such as quick montages of close ups. Alfred Hitchcock, one of the world’s greatest directors states “montages should be…

really get out of your comfort zone, then you learn so much more about yourself as a person. When I was in my junior year, I decided to try out for drum major. I got really nervous because I was worried about how I would do in such a high up position. Normally all my leadership roles were behind the scenes to keep the machine running smoothly, but being a drum major would take me out of my comfort zone completely. I would not be the maintenance guy, but instead I would be the captain. That was…

Bongo drums, usually just called bongos, are one of the most recognizable of percussion instruments. Due to the pervasive popularity of Latin music (thank you, "Dancing With the Stars"), the sounds of these little drums are familiar to people around the world. Bongos, as the name implies, always come in attached sets of two. One drum is slightly bigger than the other; the larger is the "hembra" (the Spanish word for "female), while the smaller is the "macho" (the Spanish word for "male"). Bongo…

The commercial features a gorilla that appears to have a delightful and happy expression during the advert playing a famous drum solo “In the Air Tonight” by Phil Collins. The commercial is shot in a recording studio with a purple background which reinforces the brand Cadbury throughout the advert. The selling tactic that is used is humorous because a gorilla playing a drum kit does not happen in reality. It is effective to the chocolate bar because it 's makes the commercial more memorable…

and a more real sound. Below will highlight some of my main mixing processes. Drums Before mixing my drums together as one, I put EQ on all the track the aim was to cut out any frequencies I wouldn’t be needing and boost the ones I would. An example of this would be my bass drum. I cut out any sound above 250Hz as I wouldn’t be using this. I then boosted at around 100Hz because this is where I wanted the kick drum…
