A New England Chapter is Formed

A new rudimental drumming club is being formed as an associate chapter to The United States Association of Rudimental Drummers (USARD). The new organization will be named, The Rudimental Drummers Club of New England (RDCNE).
As with the parent organization, the RDCNC will endeavor to promote the art of rudimental drumming through education, communication and performance.

Gary Gillotti will be coordinator of the club. The inaugural meeting of the RDCNE will be held at 1:00 PM, November 15, 2009 at the American Legion facility in Granby, MA. Granby Massachusetts, which is in the Springfield area, was chosen for its centrality to the most populous part of New England. This first meeting will be introductory: learning from attendees which directions the organization should take.

The new club is open to all interested in rudimental drumming. Although not mandatory, members will be encouraged to join the United States Association of Rudimental Drummers.

Those interested joining the RDCNE or have questions about the club may contact Gary Gillotti at:

USARD Announces New Southern California Chapter
 
As another good sign of interest and growth, USARD is happy and proud to announce that a new chapter has been organized to appeal to rudimental drummers living the greater Los Angeles areas and beyond. This exciting development came about two weeks ago through the initiative of our new member, Ben Curtis, of Newhall, CA, who asked about creating a new chapter for that area and then, very generously, volunteered to take on role of Chapter Coordinator.
USARD Announces New Southern Cal Chapter As another good sign of interest and growth, USARD is happy and proud to announce that a new chapter has been organized to appeal to rudimental drummers living the greater Los Angeles areas and beyond. This exciting development came about two weeks ago through the initiative of our new member, Ben Curtis, of Newhall, CA, who asked about creating a new chapter for that area and then, very generously, volunteered to take on role of Chapter Coordinator. A long-time drummer and native of Spokane, Washington, Ben has broad experience and interest in rudimental drumming, highlighted by a stint as bass drummer and, later, snare drummer with the renowned USAF Pipe Band, Washington D.C. Playing in the 2002 “reunion” performance and recording opportunities that “reunited” the Pipe Band for the first time in 32 years helped convince him to bring drumming back into a life already full with family, business and community service.

Ben organized and held the So Cal chapter’s first “meeting” on Tuesday, Feb. 24th, where he and three other interested drummers met to get acquainted. According to the report of another participant, John Davis, things apparently went very well: “Sorry you missed the chapter's inaugural meeting. Ben gave us the low down and you should receive a roster and dues soon. We had 3 drummers along with Ben so we have 4 co-presidents! HA! Looking forward to hearing from you and trading music.” Well, John, all I can say is that we only need three presidents! On behalf of all of us at USARD, welcome Ben, and thanks for your organizing work. We are delighted to have you with us and look forward to hearing more from the new, growing So Cal chapter.

The annual convention is a showcase for the talented members who will perform as individuals or in ensembles.
Each year the convention features one or more special performer or prominent clinician. The idea of Individual and Ensemble (I and E) competition is being discussed.

The
USARD is a great group to join if you are interested in getting back into your old love - rudimental drumming. It's also a wonderful opportunity for young drummers to see and hear some of the older styles of their predecessors such as Ancient (rope-tension) and classic drum and bugle corps drumming. You will meet some legendary drummers at a USARD convention!
 
We'd also love to meet some of today's contemporary drummers so we can share ideas and enjoy some of the new and exciting ideas of the modern drummer.
 
Drum notation in the form of solos, exercises or ensemble pieces will be available to members from this website for their personal and chapter use. Some drumming pieces will be dedicated to the annual mass drumming performance.


 

The United States Association of Rudimental Drummers offers members many opportunities to enjoy and contribute to rudimental drumming:
When available, members may join local active USARD chapters which offer opportunities for discussion, practice and performance of rudimental drumming. If no chapter is conveniently available, members, with the permission of the USARD, may initiate a new chapter in their geographic area.

Members may attend the annual USARD convention for fun, performing and possibly competition.
As a paid member an individual will have access to members-dedicated drumming material available on the USARD website.

A member will have a configurable profile on the website. Beyond the profile feature, a member can submit their personal drumming history to the 'Biography' section of the site.
He or she will have the ability to contribute the USARD website articles about rudimental and other forms of drumming, drum notation, audio and videos, as well.

On the website two calendars are available for entering drumming related events. Members may use the 'Other Drumming Events' calendar for this purpose.

This is only the beginning of the features that will be offered by the United States Association of Rudimental Drummers.
