Not So Modern Drummer welcomes old friend but new columnist Kelli Rae Tubbs. She knows her stuff about the early drum sets and instruments of the early 1900s and she is a great presenter and host. We will be featuring one or more of Kelli’s very well produced videos every month.
A series about the sound effect instruments used in silent films 100 years ago, at that time known as "moving pictures," with host, Kelli Rae Tubbs and special guest, William F Ludwig III. The history-rich videos discuss how percussion sound effect instruments were used to punctuate the action for audiences around the globe. In the late 1800s, trap drummers and percussionists had many performance opportunities, including the vaudeville circuit, the minstrelsy, chautauquas, traveling circuses, and movie theaters.
