  1. Music Appreciation Percussion

  2. Percussion • Percussion-musical instruments played by striking with the hand or with a handheld or pedal-operated stick or beater, or by shaking, including drums, cymbals, xylophones, gongs, bells, and rattles.

  3. Percussion • Earliest Drums-Skin stretched over a bowl or frame to form a drum. • Many early African, South and North American Natives, Chinese, etc. used this style of drum for many types of ceremonies. • Native American Drum

  4. Percussion • The Middle Ages 1475- consisted of bells, jingles, long drums, nakers, side drums, tabors, tambours and timpani- many of today's percussion instrument's roots can be traced back to this era- drums were played for the king and his guests quite often while also being accompanied by other musicians - drums were also played at weddings, festivals, social events, and in times of despair [as inspiration] • Medieval drum solo

  5. Percussion • Renaissance- 1600 • consisted of  tabors, timbrels, long drums, jingle bells, snare, and monk bells- although many of the percussion instruments were the same as the Middle Ages, they were highly improved  - people came up with new ways to use drums, for the first time drums were used in the military and during battles- during performances drums were mostly played along with the accompaniment of a singer and dancers    

  6. Percussion • During this time there were also other drums being used in the beginning symphonies. • timpani

  7. Percussion • The Classical Period 1820- percussion consisted of kettle drum, vibraphone, snare, gong, whip, triangle, marimba, and tambourine- during this period orchestral music and symphonic bands lead by composers had completely taken over music- in orchestras cymbals and bass were added to give songs more excitement and energy- in most orchestras the snare was the main percussion instrument 

  8. Percussion •  The Twentieth Century/ Modern 2000- bands that used a drummer now only need one instead of four or more- music was no longer limited to concerts, opera-houses, clubs, and domestic music making- technological advances led to new styles of music such as techno, rap, pop, etc. [electronic instruments]- recording music made distributing it to the public easier and much faster 

  9. Percussion • The band Tortoise puts a modern spin on percussion instruments
