Loren's Music Room

I just listened to Mozart’s Requiem Mass in D Minor and it sounded amazing. I don’t ever listen to classical music, so I’m wondering how a classical work could be considered mediocre or bad? What is there to listen to in classical music that lets one decide how good it is?

I love blues rock, but I really want to get into the original blues more. I’m talking people like Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy. Which artists should I look for, and any recommended and essential albums? Thanks in advanvce.
thank you all very much, some great names thrown about. ok i feel guilty picking a best answer so i’ll put it to the vote.

Let us start with Keith Moon. Keith Moon was born in 1946. He died in 1978 He lived a short period of life because of his alcoholism and acute eccentricity. He is still famous. Some of his followers also named him as ‘Mad Moon’. He was a powerful drummer. He was innovative. In 1964 Keith attached ‘The Who’ band. He was a very fast drummer, a singer and also a composer.. He used to play faster and louder, but with authority. He used fire crackers. He used them on the stage. He was so odd that he has broken many drums and perhaps his past time was to blow up toilets.

Keith Moon did not have any particular Drum Kits.. He has no made to order Kits as many other drummers had or have. He either borrowed or hired drum kits to play.He borrowed drum sets to play.He also hired them Consequently, he had played with Rogers drum kit, Premier kit, Trixon kit, Lee Kings kit, Dave Clarke Five kit, Singerland kit, Ludwig kit and also Vistalities from Ludwig. He had no standard Drums kit

Jon Henry Bonham was in Led Zeppilin. He was applauded for his 20 minute solo performance on his drumkit.~He played a 20 minute solo that made him famous} He was mainly a Rock Drummer and that too a great one. He also died young at the age of 32..

He used three different Ludwig green sparkle set in Lee Zeppilin III and IV. Jon’s bass drums wre of 24” and 26”.His Tom was mounted 12”deep. At times he played in his bare hands. Jon Bonham has used different types of branded Drum Kits.. He had used, apart from the Ludwig sparkle green sparkle, which was his preferred and best sounding kit, The Black Diamond Pearl and Thermo gloss Natural Maple. He also used Ludwig Amber Versatile, Sparkle Silver Finish and Stainless Steel.. He used different category of floor Toms, rack Toms, supraphonic snare and Ludwig Timpani. He played in Paiste Cymbals. Later he changed His choice pedal for Drums Were Ludwig Speed King Pedals.

Neil Peart from a Toronto based band called “RUSH”~Neil Peart from RUSH}. He was basically inspired by Drummers like Keith Moon and Jon Bonham. He invented new style. He combined Jazz with swing. Pert was a Drummer and like Moon was also a composer of song for their band. He had a complex but sophisticated style as a Drummer.

His kits always give inspiration to other Drummers. He had a large drum kit. He played with all the drums.The drum kit he normally used was The Old Singerland Snare, Remo ‘Legato’ marching Snare, a 13” Ludwig Picolo on the back kit, Tama Gong Bass Drum, Promark drum sticks, Rem heads, LP Cowbells and some wind bells.

Lars Ulrich from Metallica. He generally used Tama drums, Zildjian Cymbals and Remo drum heads. He is seldom seen without his customized kits.~He never played without his own drums}. He also played with Ludwig drums, Grtsch drums and Sambian Cymbals, Calato Regal drum sticks but altered to Eastern Ahead at a later date.

Other drummers in 1980 of sonar drum reputation were Steve Smith from Journey and Phil Rudd.. In recent times Danny Carey of TOOL and Gavin Harrison are some of the names who play sonar drums.

Drum Kits and Cymbals provide a good range of Drum Sets

I was watching an instructional vid by marty friedman, and he said that you HAVE to know how to play the blues progression because all modern rock is based on it. Can anyone explain this deeper?

Fast & the Furious – Tokyo Drift Music Video(JADITZ VERSION)

I have always had the problem when distinguishing between these three genres. I always had the feeling that songs I listen to are Pop, but when see I about there genres in the internet, they sometimes belong to blues or rmb genre.

I have a final in a classical music class tomorrow and need some help with six definitions! Thanks!?

So I guess I usually mock the people on here asking for homework help, but I guess the tables turned…

I want to add to the previous answer. Cut Time is in reference to a specific time signature: 2/2. The name is derived from taking the typical time signature 4/4 and “cutting it in half”. It’s used primarily in fast sections of pieces.

A major scale is any 7-note scale created using the following intervals: major second, major second, minor second, major second, major second, major second, minor second. For example, C-D-E-F-G-A-B.

A minor scale is any 7-note scale created using the following intervals: major second, minor second, major second, major second, minor second, major second. For example: C-D-Eb-F-G-Ab-Bb. Typically the 7th scale step (Bb in this example) is raised to a B-natural to create what we call a leading tone, because it “leads” to the tonic note C. Raising it to B-natural also gives it the unique “minor” sound we associate with minor music.

Triads are major if they include a major third and a minor third in that order. For example, C-E-G

Triads are minor if they include a minor third and a major third in that order. For example, C-Eb-G

A chord is in root position if the C in the preceding examples is found in the bass part. If any other note of the chord is found in the bass part, it is in the inversion. For example a D major chord in first inversion would have an F# in the bass (with the D and A found in other parts). We would notate that D^6 because the F# is 6 scale steps from D. If the A is in the bass, it is notated as D^65 because the A is 5 scale steps below the root of the chord. You leave the six in there because the A is also, consequently, 6 scale steps below the F#.

In recent times , box office software has become increasingly sophisticated, with many more companies selling software systems, with more options , more features and more cost options . So for an organisation considering an online ticketing solution , it has become much more difficult to select the ideal system .

For most organisations, some of the most important factors are the cost of the system, ease of installation, setup and use, any additional hardware and the availability of good customer service. Of course every organisation will also have its own specific needs on top of these basic factors , so the best starting point is to draw up a list of requirements you consider essential, and then proceed to evaluate different box office ticketing software systems on these criteria. But let’s take a look at some of the most common points to consider .

Cost
Generally speaking , there are two options with ticketing software – either purchase the software outright, or sign a licensing or usage agreement with a company providing a fully hosted service. In the former you would purchase the software outright and install   it on your system. If however you are intending to sell tickets online, you may be required to sign up for an additional service, since  selling tickets online requires a dedicated server available continuously to handle the ticket selection and payments . On the other hand , with a fully hosted system, the ticketing software company maintains all the software so the ticket selection and payment processing is conducted on the software provider’s servers. The venue operator is normally given a password and log in to access the system , typically via a web interface.

The advantage of purchasing ticket sales software outright naturally is that it is a once only cost , although there may be additional ongoing costs for upgrades or maintenance contracts.  But for fully featured ticketing systems, the cost of purchasing software can be very high, and for most medium to smaller organisations who still require a sophisticated system , the alternative model of a hosted system may be a better option. In this case, the ticketing software company will normally charge for the service on a per ticket basis on the value of all tickets sold through the system.

Simplicity of installation and setting up
Any new software system will require a learning phase, so ideally the system should have an interface which is consistent with a standard Windows or Mac interface or menu system to make it simpler for all operators. It should also be easy to install and set up .   Many systems these days use a web interface which enables an operator anywhere in the world to access and operate the system .   Ideally, on-site training should not be required , as it should normally be possible to train operators of the system via internet chat or instructional videos.

Features & customization
Most modern ticketing software will include a host of different features, many of which may never be required by the average organization .  Ideally you should have the ability to turn off unnecessary features, in order to simplify the system for users. And it at a later stage you have use for such features, then you should be able to turn the features back on.

Hardware requirements
Assuming you have a relatively modern computer and up-to-date operating software , normally no hardware upgrades should be required to operate ticketing software.  However if the system is Web-based, you will need a fast Internet connection.  The only other necessary item is a means of printing tickets.  Whilst thermal ticket printers are undoubtedly the most convenient option since they can print single tickets on demand , such printers tend to be relatively expensive and may be outside the budget of small organisations who may sell only a few thousand tickets per year or less. Fortunately however, many ticketing software systems offer the ability to print tickets with a standard inkjet or laser printer.

Bar-code scanners may also be required for venue operators who wish to institute access control and have permitted customers to print PDF tickets online, as this is the only practical way to ensure the validity of such tickets .

Reports
You should be able to access a wide range of financial, admission, transaction and customer related reports as required which should be either viewable on screen or can be printed for later analysis. You should have the ability to quickly look up any ticket that is sold , to check who purchased the ticket, who sold the ticket , the date of sale and the price paid as a minimum requirement .

Customer Database
You should have the opportunity to categorise your customers, to enter alternative addresses, to easily eliminate or merge duplicate entries, to check the transaction history of any customer and to send out e-mails or print address labels for your customers directly from the database.

Customer service and support
With any ticketing software system, you should expect rapid and helpful support and customer service. Whilst such support on a 24/7 basis may be impractical for many ticketing software companies, any service should not be restricted to e-mailed customer support tickets but you should be able to speak to qualified support personnel. You should also expect detailed instruction manuals to be provided ideally also accessible online .

Comparing ticketing systems
The best way to compare a ticketing system is to get hold of a demonstration version of the software.  Ideally the software should be a full working version with perhaps only a few features restricted . You should be able to carry out some test administrative functions to understand how the basic setting up and ticket selling process works. If you are unable to obtain a demonstration version , then at the very minimum you should be able to see screen shots of the main functions. It would be unwise to sign up for any system on a long-term basis unless you have the ability to cancel the agreement if you find that the system is not meeting your requirements or does not live up to its advertised claims or your expectations. It is also useful to check out other organisations who are using the system you are investigating by going to Web sites that use the system and make a test purchase without actually purchasing the ticket. Then you can get a good idea of the ticket purchasing process from a customer’s viewpoint.
 
 Choosing a new ticketing system can seem like a rather overwhelming task , but if you limit your evaluation to the basics above plus any specific requirements , it will hopefully make the task somewhat easier.
