HEY! YOU ARE WAY, WAY BETTER THAN DAVY JONES & LINDA McCARTNEY!!! GREAT VIDEO.

The main problem - The Nomenclature and THE NOTATION. We composers have a problem how to write all technique on the tambourine. Each your example should be with notation in the corner of video. Thanks in advance.

[@dominiquetalkspercussion]

Hi there! Yea that is difficult indeed, but actually I think a composer could just write the musical phrase and leave the technical decision up to the performer. For example a soft roll would mean thumb roll probably. And a MF note would mean woodpecker technique, I explain all those other techniques in my other videos. I like to choose the technique on the style of the music, which also determines what kind of tambourine you use, and the hall you play in, the amount of musicians etc.
You can always give a suggestion by writing the technique ofcourse, and there is not really an official way of writing this, so I saw some composers using their own types of notes for it with an explainer in the beginning. Nice question to think about! if you have any pieces for percussion please tell us here :)

As a composer, how do I notate a shakeroll with drumhead staccato taps on the quarter-beats?

[@dominiquetalkspercussion]

Hi! You can write quarter notes, add the three lines to make them a roll, and add a staccato and accent on each note! Hope that's clear :)
Question for you: Are you actually looking for information on how to compose for percussion? I get more of this kind of questions and was thinking of mapping out a video course for composers

[@JustWalkJapan]

@@dominiquetalkspercussion Perfectly clear, thanks. I thought that was it from scores I've looked at, but I write in Musescore 3.6.2 and, when I do that, the sound isn't anything like what it should be. I guess I'll just write it that way, for any group that might eventually perform my music.

[@JustWalkJapan]

@@dominiquetalkspercussion I'm currently 75% of the way through a setting of the complete “Leaves of Grass.” So far I've only written it for a capella chorus and soloists, but it was always my intention to provide accompaniment for some of the poems. Most will use piano or stings, but the one I'm starting on really needs a tambourine and hand-claps to make sense. Piston's Orchestration was no help, and the Musescore Handbook isn't very helpful either. I expect to use this and other utility percussion in a number of pieces, but don't know yet what I'll need to learn. Perhaps at some point I'll have more questions.

Thanks bro 💕

[@alexandria2916]

i didn't get it at all

[@DameRavla]

Me too ! And i redo the same move as the video but it doesn't work.

[@sarahq2112]

Me neither, this technique just doesn't work for me. Looks good though 😊

[@KawiDarshana]

Can you tell me a way to buy this?

[@dominiquetalkspercussion]

Hi Darshana, if you mean the full tutorial, you can find it on www.dominiquetalkspercussion.com. :)
I also explain there about all the different tambourines. Cheers!

[@noel6171]

Is that true that not all the tambourine can do finger roll, i.e., it depends on the material and design? Thanks.

[@dominiquetalkspercussion]

@@noel6171 actually it should be possible on any tambourine, some skins are harder, f.e. Very smooth plastic skins. You can use a but of wax on skins, but mostly try to practice the amount pf pressure between left and right hand :)

[@user-kqxzyfj]

@@noel6171 wow.. I’m also curioused about this question.

[@JoaoNeto-up8zi]

Where are the previous 8 techniques???

[@WildWoodlandsSW]

Dont put wax on your tambourine,it makes it worse,and is difficult to remove!
