Drum It With Brummet

  -- Quote of the Day --  “ The first thing that we realize when we choose to push play on recorded  music is that we are actually matching our current state …and when you  do that you become subconsciously instinctive about the music you listen  to; because it feels good, you become phase-locked to that music.  …So  listen to the music that makes you feel sated, but once you’ve satiated  that mood than you shift the music that will soothe you. …At work you  need to choose music to empower everyone and for health. …Music  therapy is able to promote wellness, manage stress, alleviate pain,  express feelings, enhance memory, improve communication and promote  physical rehabilitation.  ” ~ Judith Pinkerton ~~   http://BrummetMedia.ca ~~

People who play the drums heavily rely on the physics behind them, but many people never truly realize how much newton's third law takes place in their activity.  When a person plays drums, to simply put it, they are just hitting drums in different ways at different times. The main thing they are doing is bouncing a stick, a hand, a mallet or something similar off of a drum. Without being able to bounce something off the drum, drumming would be drastically different, or even non-existent in this day and age. Both the sticks, mallets, hands, etc., and the makeup of the drum itself have major ro...
