Here is a lesson about playing orchestral style snare drum.
For demonstration material I am using the Jacques Delécluse Etude #1 from his well known book Twelve Studies for Snare Drum.
After performing the etude with a metronome I discuss the differences between Rudimental and Orchestral snare styles and show you the drum, heads and sticks I use. I also show you how to execute ruffs, drags, rolls and flams in the orchestral style.
Wrist technique is discussed as well as how to achieve proper dynamic control. I finish up with a performance of the etude without a metronome.
The drum I am using is a Pearl Philharmonic Special Edition maple 5"x 14" drum with curly, steel and cable snares.
I am using a calf head made by the Lefima company.
The drum is slightly muffled with a small piece of leather.
The sticks I am using are Leopardwood with a small barrel tip which I make.
