K-60 Drum Key

Product Information

This master drum key isn't exhaustive, meaning that we didn't include every possible notation that you might encounter. They're not used as often as the cymbals identified above, but they do make their way into mainstream music and other classics throughout past decades.

To produce a louder sound, you can play the ride bell with the shoulder of the stick rather than with the tip. Telling the reader to let the cymbals ring out throughout those rests gives the reader extra confidence. You can experiment with moving the tip of the stick closer to the edge of the drum head to product different sounds.Bass 2 is played either on a secondary bass drum or on the same bass drum with the slave pedal of a double bass drum pedal (see below). Other keys come with quirky features such as the Evans magnetic key which clings onto tension rods as you loosen them or the Wincent bottle opener drum key which arms you with arguably the two most important tools a drummer needs on a gig. Hit the crash cymbal on the bell, either with the tip of the stick or with the shoulder of the stick to produce a louder sound.

Consenting to these technologies will allow us to process data such as browsing behaviour or unique IDs on this site.In the graphic above, the "Buzz roll/Closed roll (written out)" shows all of the strokes written out in 16th-note notation (with buzzes). If you're not bothered about expensive drum keys that have fast glide levers, leather cases, multiple tool attachments, or cooks breakfast and wakes you up in time for teaching early morning after that metal gig the night before, this key is for you. The stick you're playing the grace stroke with should start about 2 inches above the drum head while the primary stroke starts in normal position. the Thomann logo is a thing of immense beauty, and has a wonderful tactile feel, which helps drum tuning by up to 36.

In our sheet music, we use the Z symbol on the note stem to clearly indicate when you should use buzz strokes over diddles.The hi-hat splash is achieved by hitting the hi-hat cymbals together with the foot, and then quickly releasing them apart to let them ring out. You only need 3 things from a simple drum key - a good fit on the tension rods, robust enough that it doesn't scar or damage itself or the tension rods, and is affordable but not so cheap that it has sharp edges or anything. Loose HH for several notes: A line placed next to a loose hi-hat cymbal extends the loose hi-hat section for multiple strokes. All of our premium sheet music includes a song-specific drum key on the top of the first page for each song.
