Title
The Snare Drums' "Flow" Using the "Flow" Patterns of Hip-Hop Artists to Create "Rap Rudiments"
Description
Within percussion pedagogy, rudiments serve as foundational components used to develop rhythmic and technical proficiency. While American, French, and Swiss rudimental drumming share common rudiments, there exist nuanced distinctions between these styles. Similarly, hip-hop rapper’s “flow” has evolved amid diverse regional, social, and emotional influences, shaping their rhythmic articulation. This study centers on the “golden age” of hip-hop (1986-1996), aiming to identify recurring patterns of “flow” and potential confluences between percussive rudiments and how rappers’ structure their rhythmic and melodic language. The examination of “flow” represents a relatively recent discourse within music theory, attracting scholarly attention concerning analytical methodologies using computer programs and diverse analytical lenses. Notably, scholars specializing in this domain have laid foundational groundwork, offering comprehensive insights into the nuanced aspects of flow dynamics. Although there exists a substantial body of research on flow analysis, limited scholarly attention has explored the correlation between rap music and the percussive facets inherent in snare drum performance. This study elucidates the connection between the intricacies of hip-hop flow and rudimental snare drum playing, culminating in four snare drum etudes emulating the flow of specific artists and regions.
