The Electric Bass The recent evolution of the electric bass, a relatively new instrument in the history of music, has made a huge impact on most forms of music. Bass players set the tone — they are the bridge between rhythm and melody. The bass is the rudder that steers the ship. Bass players are a unique breed, it takes a special musician to play the part. Bass is a supporting role by nature without the glory of a lead instrument, yet one that contributes so much to the overall sound of a band. |

The Drumset People have been banging on things since the dawn of time — for communication, direction and recreation. The modern drumset has become the cornerstone of much of today’s music. The drumset is the engine that drives the bus. Drummers live in a different world than other musicians. Instead of focusing on scales and chords, drummers must learn an assortment of rhythms and rudiments to successfully propel a band in any style of music. |
