The Development Of The Lowboy

Bad Boy: A memoir by Walter Dean Myers is about racism, isolation,and value of education. Racism is a big part throughout this book because of how Walter acts and thinks. Isolation is a big role in this book because it reaches many of his family members. Value of education changes dramatically throughout his life.

Drums are loud so the soldiers could hear them during battle and they were the way to communicate. The history of using drums goes back to early, Switzerland. Music was for the morale of the troops. The average snare drum they used was eight pounds. The drum was eighteen inches deep and the straps were made of leather. The drumsticks were made of

A drum can have two heads on either side of the body, or alternatively, one drum-head on the top of the body. There are drums which have been designed to be easy to carry around, such as those used in street parades, and drums which are immobile.

Throughout American history and the 1900’s, fads have been a hugely successful form of self expression. From fashion, to recreation, to dumb and sometimes dangerous things that youths do, fads are a way to distract from the troubles of the world and find something else fun to do.

The Roaring Twenties of America, which was from 1920-1929, saw a great social and economic prosperity. People were happy, and were celebrating the victory of World War 1. The gasoline price was lowered, right to vote for women was granted, and America was climbing towards a great success. In 1929, Herbert Hoover became the president of the United States of America, and he said, “ Given a chance to go forward with the policies of the last eight years, we shall soon with the help of God be in sight of the day when poverty will be banished from this nation”(Roark, Pg. 703). After few months of his inauguration, his words contradicted, the Roaring Twenties halted. During the Roaring Twenties, the stock market prices increased steeply. The rapid

As Americans watched silent movies, sound-based entertainment also grew. New forms of music such as ragtime and the cakewalk were all the rage, and some people, such as Rudolph Wulitzer, knew how to take advantage of America's new taste for music. Wulitzer was a German immigrant who found moderate success in importing musical instruments from his home country. In the 1890's, however, he changed his focus to musical machines. He invented the first coin-operated electric organ, and soon after, self-playing harps and pianos. He sold them to hotels and restaurants that could not afford live musicians and he made quite a lot of money. When he turned his company over to his sons, they developed a pipe organ that filled movie theaters with sound. They would later develop the jukebox and make a fortune in the 1930's, after the Gilded Age was over. But it was during this era that the Wurlitzer Company got its start.5

Documentaries reinforce or criticise dominant representations of groups in society. Discuss in relation to a documentary you have studied.

Despite the major setback of being part of the youth population in the late 1800’s, the Newsboys fought the authorities for the sole purpose of understanding what they deserved, as well as any child within the labor force. On July 20th, 1899, the start of one of the most powerful strikes in history began. By protesting and striking against two of the largest newspaper companies in New York at the time, the Newsies proved they weren’t budging in their stance. Through holding their ground and unmasking their will and determination, the companies gave into their requests and even left a withstanding impact on the changing child labor laws.

My 2nd point is to explain how “modern” drumming began and what a modern drum set is ("Ringo starr," ).

Physical. Violent. Ruthless. These are all words that can describe the 1980s Detroit Pistons team. At the time, the NBA was very physical with imposing big men and low scoring games. The players on the Bad Boys not only symbolized basketball at the time but the world during the 1980s. Players such as Dennis Rodman, Isiah Thomas, and Joe Dumars may gain recognition but players like John Salley, Bill Laimbeer, and Rick Mahorn were all important cogs to how the Bad Boys changed and influenced basketball and the world. Although their style of play and brusque mannerisms rubbed the opposition and fans the wrong way, the Bad Boys will always be remembered and discussed in basketball lore and culture. (Morris, Benjamin)

that acts as a bass drum and normally comes in three different sizes that vary in pitch. These instruments are the heart of the entire ensemble. The tambourine is also a membranophone

Work songs were another influential form of musical expression in the lives of slaves, and these songs were sung by a field of hands in order to coordinate and pace their work, and slave owners expected their slaves to sing. In fact, many slave-masters discovered that drums could be used as a secret means of communication. Many of the slave owners were concerned that this secret means of communication could eventually lead to a slave uprising. As a result, drums were banned, but the enslaved Africans substituted “hand clapping” in the place of drums in order to reproduce the complex rhythms of African drumming.

I feel as though this works very closely with the lay Honky. When people are put in an awkward situation they truly do not know what to do. So if other people start laughing or it seems something should happen instead of it being silent, they laugh. When something like Honky is performed you can tell from the voice they say something in, or how they might pause for a second that what they said is meant to be funny. Honey involves so much language of racism that it can be very uncomfortable for people to witness. The theory talks about being embarrassed and feeling self-conscious with it eventually leading to a slide laugh, rather than embarrassing their feelings because they do not want to make others feel that way.

Musical instruments have played many major roles in helping with the construction of many societies around the world today. Many people do not realize what musical instruments have been responsible for and how they have helped shape the world today. There have been many instruments that have helped create and sculpt the world, but one instrument that I want to inform readers about is the trumpet and where it came from, as well as how it has changed over many years. The point that I am arguing is the fact that many people do not know where the trumpet has come from and how it has affected society.

Our seven piece kit is being sold at the same price as those offered by Pearl and Tama, while our eight piece kit is $100 cheaper than Tama’s eight piece kit. Ours is $50 more expensive than Pearl’s eight piece kit; however we feel our product to be vastly superior to theirs, and therefore do not anticipate this slight difference as being problematic. We will also be offering out 100 kits initially to established artists as endorsements. These kits will be distributed, free of charge, to 42 pre-selected musicians, in the hope that by being used by these artists, other musicians who are influenced by these drummers will be eager to also purchase a kit.
