| | Bass drum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | It is used in orchestral music, marching music, and throughout 20th century popular music as a component of the drum set. | | | A basic beat for rock and roll has the bass drum played on the first and third beats of a bar of common time, with the snare drum on the second and fourth beats, called "back beats". | | | Blast beats on the double bass drums combined with a more standard thrash-pace rhythm on the snares and toms are more common among thrash metal and particularly European power metal. |

| | Basses were made with the f shaped sound holes of the violin. | | | The double bass was first tried to be created using the violin pattern, but this did not turn out desirable. | | | They did keep the flat back (instead using the arched back like the violin) and slanted shoulders. |

| | A recent arrival in the acoustic guitar group is the acoustic bass guitar, similar in tuning to the electric bass. | | | Acoustic bass guitars also have steel strings, and match the tuning of the electric bass, which is likewise similar to the traditional double bass viol, the "big bass", a staple of string orchestras and bluegrass bands alike. | | | There are several subcategories within the acoustic guitar group: classical and flamenco guitars, both of which use nylon and composite strings, and steel string guitars, which includes the flat top, or "folk" guitar, the closely related twelve string guitar, and the arch top guitar. |

| | This bass features violin corners, a four-piece rounded back, double purfling (a classic Maggini trademark), a fully chromatic C extension made by Bill Merchant, "Knobel" tuning machines from Gallery Strings, a carved tailpiece, and a Vektor contact microphone "pickup" located discreetly in the bass-side bridge foot. | | | The bass plays wonderfully well and was used by Greg Cohen on three seperate Tom Waits records including Swordfish trombones and Frank's wild years. | | | As a result, Gibson basses, as well as other violin family instruments, are quite scarce. |

| | History of the Double Bass |
| | This is of violin shape, with a flat back, and makes interesting comparison with the viol shaped violone by Ventura Linarol (Padua, 1585) in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna. | | | The earliest known playing instructions, by Johann Jacob Prinner (Musicalischer Schlissl, 1677, autograph US-Wc) are for an instrument tuned F'-A'-D-F#-B. Much more usual, however, is the tuning F'-A'-D-F#-A cited in 1790 by Albrechtsberger, for a violone or contrabass with thick strings and frets tied at every semitone round the fingerboard. | | | This high '3rd-4th' tuning was given by Praetorius (Syntagma musicum, 2/1619) for a six-string violone (a name also confusingly used in the 16th century to denote the bass of the viol family). |
