A Little About Music Managment

There comes a time in many musicians' lives where they feel they need management. Remember, not only signed artists feel they need management, sometimes people in the independent music field feel this way as well. A manager is someone who, in a nutshell, runs the business side of the artist's career in the music industry.

An artist or band manager will play many roles. One role they fill is handling all the music contacts. These music contacts include club owners, agents, labels, A&R, promoters and many other professionals in the music industry. The manager may also handle marketing, promoting, tours, budgeting and booking shows. A manager may have to wear many hats so it is important to pick someone who is reliable and trustworthy.

When searching for a manager, there are many questions you should ask yourself before settling on one particular person.

1.First, does this manager typically handle your genre or field of music? If you are an Indie artist, then make sure this manager is prepared to deal with the field of independent music. Are they more into hip hop while you have a more alternative rock feel? It is important to pick a manager that specializes in your genre.

2.Trust your instincts and ask yourself how trustworthy they feel after meeting with them. Are they just tooting their own horn or are they the real deal?

3.How are their references? Ask or call around to other music contacts to see what they say. Hearsay is important in the music industry, believe it or not.

4.How experienced are they? If they are just beginning their career then how well connected are they? But then again, they may put more effort into your band if they have something to prove. Make a list of the pros and cons of each.

5.Do you know anyone else that has worked with them? Find out how ethical they are. You don't want to butt heads with your manager over ethics in the music industry.

6.What style of management are they? Are they go-getters or laid back? Talk to other artists who have worked with them, if possible.

7.Keep in mind that managers usually work for a percentage of what you make. Try to avoid a manager that asks for a salary.

Having a valued and honest relationship with your manager is crucial. You want to be on the same page as your manager whether you do independent music or are signed. Make sure your manager is making the proper music contacts and truly believes in you. After all, you don't want to work with, for or beside someone who doesn't have your best interests in mind.

which drum cymbal hi hats are better?

help...which ones are better between the two???? quality wise, sound wise. and can you tell me anything about the difference between them

http://www.amazon.com/Paiste-PST-Hi-Hats-14-Inches/dp/B0009S4HLG/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&s=musical-instruments&qid=1228759831&sr=1-8

or

http://www.amazon.com/Zildjian-Hi-Hat-Cymbal-Pair-Inches/dp/B0002IP49C/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=musical-instruments&qid=1228759831&sr=1-4

thanks would be appreciated

Both are popular brands of Cymbals.
Zildjians are of course a legendary brand and make fine cymbals. Paiste is the next best thing.
The biggest difference between the two is the size. The Z's are 13 inches and the Paistes are 14.
If you are going to be playing Rock, Metal, Alt music then the 14 inchers are what you want. The larger cymbals will give you a deeper louder sound.

If you are going to play Jazz, Funk or other types of music that use a lot of High hat expression, then the Zildjians would be better

Hats On! $20.91 It is amazing how many different ways knitters the world over have devised for keeping our heads covered! Drawing on these many traditions, Charlene Schurch has designed an outstanding assortment of hats to fit heads of all sizes and tastes of all kinds. Beginning with the most basic model -- the solid-color watch cap -- she moves on to designs with fancy textures or striking color combinations. Several of the hats use clever methods of creating double- triple- and even quadruplethick fabric to make the hats super warm and windproof. Andean, Turkish, Scandinavian, and British traditions all appear in this treasury of beautiful headgear. You'll find hats with car flaps, ornamented cuffs, no cuffs at all; caps with stripes, stars, knitted- in initials; children's and adult's sizes; a fez, a tasseled jester's cap -- even tiny hats for Christmas ornaments. Charlene Schurch is a Knitting Guild of America Certified Master Knitter. Her articles have appeared in Piecework and other knitting magazines, she is also the author of a forthcoming book on Russian Mittens.

Sabian Vault Hi-Hats 14 Inches $355 Sabian Vault Hi-Hat Cymbals are designed to deliver on the Vault promise to slice through the music. This pairing features a medium top and heavy bottom with pinpoint lathing. The sound is bright and crisp, with the top cymbal light enough to be sensitive, yet capable of creating a synergy with the bottom cymbal that boosts overall response with solid sticking and full, glassy responses at higher volumes. This design also promotes a crisper, cleaner pedal response . . . a very strong 'chick' sound.Commented Sabian product specialist David Williams: "Though they are extremely versatile, Vault Hats have a very definite and unique personality. This is because they maximize the silver in their sound. It is this bright 'tssssss' response - like cymbal sibilance - that ensures their crisp clarity. At lower volumes they are surprisingly responsive and defined, yet sensitive and musical. At higher volumes the top and bottom are a powerful combination that cuts with the sort of clarity the Vault Crash is renowned for."Vault Hats join the Vault Crash, Vault Ride, and MIPA award-winning Artisan Ride - voted "Outstanding Cymbal - 2005" by editors of the world's leading music publications - in the Vault Collection, a collection created for uniquely innovative cymbals and sounds created by the Sabian Vault Team. Added Williams: "Vault is all about better cymbal design. This can range from the Artisan Ride, which is a radical improvement of traditional concepts, to modern concepts like the Vault Hats."Sabian craftsmen create Vault cymbals using Sabian's secret-process B20 'cast' bronze and an innovative design process that maximizes the effectiveness of the silver in this highly durable and musical metal.

The Musical $150 The musical, whether on stage or screen, is undoubtedly one of the most recognizable musical genres, yet one of the most perplexing. What are its defining features? How does it negotiate multiple socio-cultural-economic spaces? Is it a popular tradition? Is it a commercial enterprise? Is it a sophisticated cultural product and signifier? This research guide includes more than 1,400 annotated entries related to the genre as it appears on stage and screen. It includes reference works, monographs, articles, anthologies, and websites related to the musical. Separate sections are devoted to sub-genres (such as operetta and megamusical), non-English language musical genres in the U.S., traditions outside the U.S., individual shows, creators, performers, and performance. The second edition reflects the notable increase in musical theater scholarship since 2000. In addition to printed materials, it includes multimedia and electronic resources.

Bosphorus Cymbals Stanton Moore Series Fat Hats 14 $417 The Stanton Moore Series Fat Hats are thin and have a dark, funky, and dirty sound. Bosphorus worked for two years with Stanton on the development of his signature series cymbals. The results capture the funky, earthy quality of Stanton's trademark sound. The tops are traditionally lathed with warm tonal grooves, while the bottoms are lathed with the distinctive wider ridges associated with the Bosphorus New Orleans series. The sound is 100% Stantonraw, and aggressive, but always musical and extremely funky. Together these cymbals give Stanton the kind of balanced attack he requires as he takes traditional second line drumming into tomorrow.
