Q&A回答 DEMON XR高速ドラムペダル・スペシャルセミナー feat. Eiji & MAKI
10/10「ドラムの日」にパールオフィシャルSNSで募集した「Eijiさん・MAKIさんに質問」ですが、時間の都合で当日お答えできませんでした。誠に申し訳ありません。
改めてお2人にお答えいただきましたので、こちらに掲載させていただきます。
詳しくお答えいただき、とても参考になる内容です。
ご質問いただいた皆様、お答えいただいたEijiさん、MAKIさん、
誠にありがとうございました。
<Eiji>
●Eijiさんに質問です!
あのパワフルな腕の使い方の秘訣が知りたいです! 特にBPM 200を超える速い連打の時の腕の使い方です。
手首で叩いているというよりスローモーションで観ても、肘から上下に動かして叩いているように見えるのですが、真似しようとするとどうやっても力が入ってしまいます!
多少、力は入っているのですか?どういうイメージで腕を使っているのか気になります!
あと「Still I Got To Fight」を聴くと太鼓類の音圧がえげつないのですが、音圧をあげる叩き方のコツはありますか?
Eijiさんのような音圧のある迫力満載の大砲のようなドラムが叩きたいです! よろしくお願いします!
A:
スネアの場合はリムショットをイメージしてロールすると、粒立ちが良くなって音量、音圧上がって勢いつきます!
この時、中指、薬指、小指を使うイメージをしてみるのも良いかもしれません!
あとは、身体を使って力まないように意識してほしいんですが、「身体を使って力まないように意識」し過ぎると逆に力みますので気をつけてください(笑)。
深呼吸するといい感じに身体が緩みます!
そして基礎練を日常化できると自分のプレイを分解・分析する土台ができていき、コツや意識・インスピレーションを掴む器も広げていけますので是非じっくり焦らずご自身のペースで
やってみて下さい!
●Ken band の MV で見かけたのですが、スティックにつけてる指にはめるリング?みたいなものはどこのメーカーのものでしょうか?
あと欠かさずやるような基礎練習はありますか??
A:
Pearl製ではないのですが、「Gig Grips」 というものです!
スティックに付けてすっぽ抜け対策してます!
あとはサーフィンのベースコートワックス?を塗っていて、良い匂いもするのでオススメです笑
●中級者ドラマーですが機材に無頓着派で 特にペダルはよく分かっていません。 初めてペダルを選ぶとしたら、どんなことを考えるとよいですか?
A:
どういった曲を演奏するのかにもよりますが、見た目とか直感を信じて買ってみるのも良いかも知れません!笑
どんなペダルにしようか、この見た目でどんな音が出るのかワクワクすると思いますので、買い物から楽しんじゃいましょう!
使い勝手や踏み心地など多様で様々なペダルがありますので、楽器屋さんで試奏してみてくださいね!
●好きなドラマーは誰ですか?そして、なぜ好きなのかも教えてください。
A:
SEPULTURAのIgor Cavaleraです!
初期SEPULTURAはめちゃくちゃスラッシュメタルだったのですが(もちろんかっこいい)、「CHAOS A.D.」(マジで名盤)という作品からガラッとイメージが変わり、重たいビートで攻めてくスタイルになりました。
特にライブでのIgorのプレイは怪物が叩いてるみたいで大好きです!
高校時代 「Slave New World」 をコピーしてました!笑
是非Igorのプレイをご覧になって下さい!
<MAKI>
●中級者ドラマーですが機材に無頓着派で 特にペダルはよく分かっていません。 初めてペダルを選ぶとしたら、どんなことを考えるとよいですか?
A:
まずは、シンプルな作りのチェーンタイプ(シングルチェーンでもダブルチェーンでも可)のペダルを選ぶと良いと思います
演奏する曲のジャンルやBPMにもよりますが、あまり軽すぎるペダルに慣れてしまうと、コントロール力やパワーを出すための力が身に着くのに時間がかかると思っています
性能が良く、調整箇所・パーツが多いペダルは、自分のプレイが安定してきて 「もっとこういう機能がほしい」、「もっとこの部分を細かく調整したい」 など、具体的にわかるようになってから手を出す方が良いでしょう。
Pearlのぺダルなら、エリミネーター・ソロやレッドラインがおすすめです
●好きなドラマーは誰ですか?そして、なぜ好きなのかも教えてください。
A:
Pearlアーティストで国内であれば、佐久間淳士さん、YOUTH-K!!!さん、EIJIさん、海外はジョーイジョーディソン、ダニエルアーランドソンです
淳士さんは叩き姿がとにかく派手で色気があり、かつかっこいいという無敵、ロックスターっぷりが好きです
YOUTH-K!!!]さんは硬派、オールドスクールなプレイスタイルをどこの現場でも貫いている姿勢がとても好きです
EIJIさんはドラム全体の凄まじい音圧とタイトなリズムを兼ねそろえており、誰からも愛されるキャラクター性も含めて好きです
ジョーイは僕がメタルという音楽ジャンルに入ったきっかけのバンド、Slipknotのドラマーで、多点キット、回転ヘドバン、高速ツーバスなどなど、受けた影響がとても多いです
ダニエルもメタルバンドにハマってからすぐ出会ったArch enemyというバンドのドラマーで、ずっと音源を聴いて育ちました
おしゃれで綺麗だけどやったら難しいフレーズを、すごく簡単そうに叩いてしまうセクシーさと、大きい体から繰り出されるめちゃくちゃに抜ける出音が凄まじいです。
ご質問いただいた皆様、お答えいただいたEijiさん、MAKIさん、
誠にありがとうございました!
イベント本編のレビューも今後掲載予定です。
今しばらくお待ちください!

NAMM 2020: NEW PEARL PRODUCTS COMING THIS YEAR
Drum Pedal NEW Pearl Eliminator Solo pedal For the reliable play of the working drummer. In 2020, Pearl is introducing Eliminator Solo bass drum pedals which deliver all the speed and performance of the original Eliminator, but in a single cam option. The Eliminator Solo: Black features the focused feel of the circular Linear Action (Black) Cam. Its slightly weighted feel and resistance-free footboard deliver traditional feel, power and speed with less muscle fatigue. The contrasting Eliminator Solo: Red delivers a lighter, fluid feel thanks to the Radical Progressive Action (Red) Cam. Best suited for the high-speed play, its sharp Cam angle increases rebound for a lightning fast, accurate stroke. New Pearl 930 Series Single-Braced Stands Boasting the same sturdy tubing and tier joints as their double-braced counterparts, Pearl’s new 930 Series Single Braced Hardware is an excellent choice for the gigging drummer on the move. Using the high-function and durability of the 930 Series stands, the Cymbal (C930S,) Cymbal Boom (BC930S,) and Snare (S930S,) stands are built to stand up to rigorous gigging and play with dramatically reduced weight. New Pearl 1030 Series Double-Braced Hi-Hat Stand Boasting the same sturdy tubing and tier joints as Pearl’s 930 Series stands, the new double-braced H1030 Series Hi-Hat stand is now available as a counterpart to Pearl’s new Eliminator: Solo bass drum pedals. Its smooth, traditional footboard performs with resistance-free precision, while the independent Trident tripod is positioned separate from the pedal frame to easily accommodate double bass drum pedals. New Pearl Unilock Arm & Leg Adapter The UniLock Arm & Leg Cymbal adapter (CHA70) is a multi-positional cymbal arm that creates quick, easy cymbal expansion around the drum set. The boom arm’s gearless Uni-lock tilter adjusts to practically any angle. Exceptional for working drummers who want to extend the use of existing gear in tight spaces. Percussion Ever Popular Travel Congas Redesigned Updated Pearl Travel Congas features 3.5” deep wood shells that deliver maximum portability and sound. Like traditional congas they utilize stave construction and feature real size Quinto, Conga and Tumba heads. Tuning the Remo Symmetry heads is effortless with five precision Allen tuning bolts and the included wrench. The newly redesigned Travel Congas also have a newly designed stand. New Travel Bongos Introducing the new Travel Bongos that are small enough, they fit comfortably in a backpack. Pearl Travel Bongos feature 3.5” deep wood shells that deliver maximum portability and sound. The new Travel Bongos stand features a gear tilter to put your drums at the right angle and utilizes a tension lever mounting system that securely locks your drums in place. Each stand includes a travel bag with shoulder strap, so your stands are as portable as the Travel Bongos. Accessories New Aluminum Trap Table Ideal for indoor and outdoor use, this spacious table has room for a surprising number of sticks, mallets and percussion instruments. Side walls prevent mallets from rolling off. The table is finished in gray powder coating, while the Chrome stand features black powder coated, double braced legs and a memory lock. New Tongue Drum Bag From percussion ensembles, elementary music instruction, solo performance, yoga instruction and drum circles, tongue drums are always on the go. This nylon bag is padded on the top, bottom and sides to fully protect your drum and ensure safe transportation. It also has a zippered pouch on the side for your mallets or personal items.
