Rack It Up, Part II: How Drum Rack Systems Can Make Your Drumming More Comfortable and Set-Ups Simpler

By Victor Salazar


Last week, I shared details about the advantages of using a drum rack system and how to find the type that would work best for you. This week, I'll talk about basic pre-packaged configurations, assembly, and things to think about when mounting components onto your system.

Rack configuration: start with a pre-packaged basic configuration and build from there

Every company that offers rack systems offers a pre-packaged, basic configuration. These pre-packs include everything that you need to get started, meaning at least two upright legs, a crossbar, and some clamps.

prepacks are a great place to begin when putting together your own system. They're certainly less overwhelming than having to design a rack set-up from scratch. You may find that a prepack is all you require, or you could use this basic system as a foundation that you can build upon to create something much more comprehensive.

Beginning with a pre-packaged configuration is also cost-effective. The components in these systems are always slightly discounted as compared to ones that you would buy on their own.

Assembly: first and foremost, take your time

Once you've decided on the type of system and have purchased your new rack, you're ready to begin assembly. Setting up for the first time can be extremely tedious because there are a lot of variables to think about.

Rack systems use a height adjustable crossbar to support the main components of your kit like your toms. Given that, some of the decisions that you'll be faced with are:

- Should you raise or lower your tom, or should you adjust the height of the crossbar or the tom arm?

- Do you adjust the tom arm and clamp on the crossbar, or do you simply move the entire bar closer or farther away from you?



These types of positioning choices require planning and experimentation. Be patient and try as many options as you can. Find the ones that not only position the components where you want, but also looks the most attractive. Aesthetics plays a big part in setting up your system.

Mounting components: think outside the box

Not every component needs to be mounted directly onto the system utilizing a clamp. To create a exclusive look, try mounting accessory holders onto existing pipes that originate from the rack. This prevents what I like to call the "prison bar look", where every accessory pipe is mounted straight up and makes the drummer appear as though he is behind a series of vertical bars.

To avoid this, use your imagination. A great example of what's possible is Terry Bozzio's immense curved cage-like set-up and Mike Mangini's (Dream Theater) multi-tiered design. In both instances, the racks have imaginative visual appeal without detracting from how well they function. They wonderfully represent the form-follows-function principle.

Final tip: label your rug

While racks allow you to re-create your system consistently, this process only works if you have a clearly labeled rug underneath your rack. Therefore, it's critical to trace the feet of your rack onto your drum rug.

Use a good quality marker or bright colored tape on a patterned rug where outlines might get obscured. It's also a good idea to trace the footprints of all your additional hardware components including your snare stand, pedals, throne, floor tom legs, etc. This will make sure that everything will be placed exactly where it should be each time you set up.

Rack systems are not for everybody, but they are definitely an option to consider if space, set up time, and component placement are obstacles that you're currently experiencing.

Should you have any questions or need specific advice about your rack system decisions or dilemmas, feel free to get in touch. I'm always here to help!

How Raunchy Music Makes People Think

By Tanisha Berg


Any recording star will take the time to make a great song that has a beautiful meaning associated with it. Unfortunately raunchy music is not so sweet and innocent and it may make a few heads turn. Whenever Eminem, Snopp Dogg, Lil' Kim, Britany Spears, Rihanna or Sheena Easton record a song they try to shock the public. They know that the fans will react in a sexual way while listening to these sordid tunes.

A man named Snoop Dogg likes to say very nasty things about women and gays. There are many negative words stated about females and homosexuals within his song titled "Lay Low." Snoop and his rap star boys also enjoy telling every fan about their private parts.

Eminem has been around for quite a long time and he has always showed his hatred for different groups of people. He and other rap stars have decided to single out gay people while they are making their recordings. This particular group of individuals have decided not to go to Eminem's performances.

On many occasions Eminem has told everybody that he does not hate anyone and his heart is filled with love. Unfortunately this particular group does not believe him and they try to avoid anything connected to this singer. Elton John tried to build a bridge between the gay community and Eminem but it failed. Rihanna does not have a problem with gay people and she creates music that they like. Her hit tune "So Hard" was popular in the gay clubs.

This was indeed a shocking song since it talked about a certain male's organ. Rihanna has been known for dating men who would use and abuse her on every level. People were not really surprised that she talked about sex in such an open and explicit way.

Another woman started her singing career at a young age and her song was very sexual. Britney Spears made the recording "Hit Me Baby One More Time" back in the late 90's.

She was talking about her private area that was very accommodating to any male. This was a major change from her past tunes such as "For Your Eyes Only" and "Morning Train."

One singer who has no problem with nudity is named Lil' Kim. This woman will show her breasts to anyone and she does not believe in getting fully dressed.

The Proper Violin Hand Posture

By Tanisha Berg


Playing an instrument takes time. The violin is an instrument that especially requires a lot of practise and dedication. However a big part of getting the most from the instrument is knowing how to position your body and your hands. With the right violin hand posture you can get the most from your instrument.

One of the reasons this takes time is that it is not always easy to position your hands properly. Sometimes people can try to develop their skills themselves. This results in them practising the wrong position. Over time this becomes a muscle memory and it can be very hard to correct bad habits.

The reason this can happen is because some people can develop poor habits. This can be as a result of getting the wrong tuition. However sometimes it can be as simple as someone trying to learn an instrument and trying to do it for themselves rather than going to a teacher or getting private tuition.

There are a few basic steps to be aware of when positioning the instrument so that you can play it comfortably but also get the best possible quality of music while you are playing. With the first position your thumb ought to be roughly an inch from the nut and also you should touch the neck around the middle joint of the instrument. There should be enough of a gap around the lower part of your thumb and the base of your index finger to wiggle a pencil upwards and downwards.

When playing your wrist must be straight. It is very important that your wrist does not bend inwards when you play. The reason you do this is so that you avoid your thumb or palm touching the neck of your instrument while you are playing. What you may wonder is what your left arm does while this is going on. It should be placed under the back of the instrument. If you have done this properly then you should not be able to see it while you are playing.

As you play your wrist needs to be straight. It is important that your wrist does not turn inward while you are playing. Your left arm needs to be placed under the back so you cannot see it when looking down at the top of your instrument. As you play look down rather than looking to the left.

As you play you need to pay attention while you are doing it. A mistake people often make is positioning their chin on the left side of the chin rest. While some people think this is the way a violinist plays in reality it does not look good and will affect the quality of how you play.

There are various ways you can improve how you play. One of the simplest ways is to find a private tutor or teacher in your local area. The best ones will ensure that you improve your posture and give you exercises to improve it between teaching sessions. With the right approach you will be able to get the most from your instrument.
