I hate Amanda Holden. All she does is cry and act fake and the way she acted really bitchy and jealous at that belly dancer last night sumed her up. Didn’t think she was that good, but it was pretty obvious she was full of jealously. I would of much prefered Kelly Brook who seemed a lot more down to earth than her. And Piers Morgan is an idiot also. Both are responsible for some of the stupid acts that have been put through to the semi finals. I don’t believe I’m saying this, but Simon Cowell is the only one who seems to be speaking common sense at the moment.

Though many of us may hear music where others hear noise, it cannot be denied that music plays an integral role in our everyday life. Music is the backdrop of many of our favorite films; most Saturday morning cartoons use classical composers like Bach and Beethoven to provide its storyline with highly effective dramatic elements. Just as mothers sing sweet melodies to their children to lull them to sleep, sporting events use loud, high-energy music to excite and invigorate spectators.

But what I consider music may not be your favorite choice of song. Just as musical tastes within cultures and across continents vary, so do the instruments used to make some of today’s most popular musical arrangements.

In the West, some of the first instruments that might come to mind are the guitar, keyboard, drums…solidified in the minds of Westerners after the birth of jazz and rock and roll. But explore a bit further, and one would easily be surprised about the breadth and scope of instruments used to produce music.

Here are a few exotic instruments from around the world that are growing in popularity. They are worth your consideration, due to each instrument’s innovative structure and uniqueness of sound. And who knows, one day one of these instruments might show up at a local festival or concert hall:

To order any one of the exotic instruments mentioned above, please visit http://www.ScaleInstruments.com and do a search in the Folk and World Instruments section of the website for the instrument that you desire. You will be glad you found out about us!

For the course of ten years, the Yamaha Dtxpress series electronic drum kits have set the standard for performance and value for both amateur and professional drummers. The drums themselves give off an amazing sound when compared to other drum kits presently on the market. No other set in its price range has the quality or the clarity.

There are many different types that are available today, however a lot of emphasis has been put on them for being the best in their class. A basic drum kit consists of floor toms, a bass drum, cymbals, woodblocks, tambourines, cowbells, and electronic drum pads.

With the abundance of manufacturers, many people find choosing a new drum set can be a challenging task to complete. In order to make the selection process a little bit easier it is important to do some research before going out and purchasing a set. Research is the best way to become familiar with key features and terms that you may not be aware of and help you to make an informed decision when you are finally ready to make a purchase. Here is a basic rundown of some of the major manufactures that currently rule the market for electronic drum sets.

Tama – Tama was the first company to make mutli-clamp hardware for drum sets. This hardware allows drummers the opportunity to be able to extend their sets. Tama introduced the first cymbal stand in the market of drum manufacturers.

Pearl Drums – These are used all over the world and are manufactured by the Pearl Instrument Company. The drums got their start in Japan and quickly spread like wildfire all over the world.

Yamaha – First began manufacturing drum sets in 1968. During 1993, they came out with their very own enhanced sustain system. They are constantly noted as being a major manufacturer of electronic drum sets. In fact many high profile professional bands use their musical equipment for major concerts across the US because of its reliability. Here are some of the most popular that they make, the Yamaha Dtxpress and the Yamaha Dtxplorer.

I would try insulating on the INSIDE of the snare. I have the same problem with mine, but mine is crap and i just use a piece of paper to stop the ringing. Alternatively, wear earplugs.

Long ago in Ireland, young boys and men known as ‘The Wren Boys’ would go out into the woods. They would hunt for and then kill a wren and then parade the dead bird through the town on top of a decorated pole. Charming eh?

There is a lot of speculation as where this tradition stems from. One story says that long ago there was a plan by Irish soldiers to ambush a Viking soldier camp and a whole bunch of wrens pecked on the Viking soldiers drums and woke them up just in time for the plan to fail. The Irish soldiers were defeated. From then on, the wren was known as the bird of the devil.

The poor little Wren is also blamed for the betraying the Christian martyr St. Stephen when was in hiding by making noises, hence the reason for hunting the Wren on St. Stephen’s Day.

Of course, the little wren was considered the ‘King of all birds’ in Celtic mythology, as it is said that the birds had a contest to see who could fly the highest. The clever wren flew higher than the eagle by sitting on the eagles back as it soared high and then the wren could fly even higher when the eagle got tired. So this custom of hunting the wren could also stem from Pagan times.

In the old days it was a real wren that was killed and placed on the top of the pole and the “wren boys” would carry it around to houses and beg for money to bury the bird as it was considered to be evil.

The Wren Boys would sing this traditional song at each house:

The Wran, the wran

the king of all Birds

on St. Stephen’s Day

it was caught in the furze,

up with the kettle

and down with the pan

give me a penny

to bury the wran.

This ancient tradition can still be seen in certain town and villages in Ireland and it really is a sight to behold! The Wren Boys march through the streets dressed in traditional attire (usually something made from straw) to the beat of drums and they stop off in bars along the way to play traditional music. Money is still collected but this is given to charity and of course a wren is not killed anymore but some Wren Boys march with a fake bird.

If you happen to be in the south west of Ireland this Christmas then pop along to see this unusual celebration in the picturesque town of Dingle in County Kerry where it is very much alive. The Dingle Wren Festival draws spectators from far and wide who come to take part in the fun, enjoy the music and the craic, or just to experience and see an age old Irish tradition that has been handed down through the years.

There are also Wren Day celebrations in Dublin on St. Stephen’s Day, which have become part of the annual festivities in the city. Musicians from all over come playing every kind of traditional instrument, like bodhrans, bagpipes and tinwhistles. The entertainment begins in Sandymount usually around 12 noon. The funds from this particular Wren celebration normally go to a local charity.

Actually, the famous Irish writer John B. Keane based his novel ‘The Bodhran Maker’ on the activities of the Wren Boys in his native County Kerry – it’s a really good read!
