His perfection doesn’t stop, he wanted to aid other talent on stage while making his drumming role within the band. This man is also coined as the father of the modern drum set. Gene made friends with H.H. Slingerland who owned a drumming company at the time. Gene then at this period had the company pursue a new product which was tunable Tom-Toms, in which they made a very distinctive sound. In the past, Tom-Toms had tacked heads in which the sound was stale and unable to change.
In the mid-1830s, when the keyed bugle and ophicleide were created, it made a full range of brass instruments which was capable of diatonic and chromatic scales. These new instruments also had full harmonic supports. The invention of the Frenchman Adolphe Sax or saxhorn made an even more homogeneous sound and added the notation of fingering in 1842-1845. Because of these outstanding results that new instruments led to, existing bands changed to an all brass instrumentation and several new brass bands were created. These new instruments created more bands and made America's bands become
Motown Records made an impact on the music industry because they developed sounds that were unique. The use of drums, tambourines, handclapping, drums, bass, keyboards, and brass instruments helped to define the “Motown Sound”. These instruments and sounds were perfected by The Funk Brothers, who were Motown’s in-house band and the envy of all competing recording companies.
Hero’s toy was very small yet very helpful (made in 130BCE) into the making of many other steam engines. This toy used a fire underneath a pot with water in it. The steam would raise from the boiling water and spun a wheel round and round. This steam pressure could be controlled and directed in a way that would produce mechanical motion. Hero’s toy led to many other inventions just like his but much more
The first invention that changed the past is the telegraph. It played a particularly key role in the American Civil War. In 1861 President Lincoln set up the U.S. Military Telegraph Corps and in just one year the U.S. military sent over a million messages to and from the battlefield. Because President Lincoln could now talk to any of his officers at any point the Union was able to coordinate its troops more effectively than the C.S.A. who did not have the large scale communication capabilities of the telegraph.
Gunpowder changed warfare, not only in America, but all over the world. Although, gunpowder was not invented in the U.S., it made a great impact on the country. Despite the fact that gunpowder was invented in 904 AD (Max Distro, 2013), different weapons were used before the gunpowder ages. An example of a prominent weapon used is the longbow.
Jimi Hendrix liked overdriven amplifiers with high gain and treble and helped to develop the technique of guitar feedback which before was thought as undesirable and not appealing. Hendrix popularized the use of the wah-wah pedal in rock which he used in his solos. His solos also included high blends, complex guitar playing, and the use of legato. These two men are two of a prestigious group of guitar players who pioneered the use of the electric
This instrument had three valves and was a conical instrument. The metal was wrapped that gave it the appearance of the trumpet today, only a little smaller. The creation of the cornet tore trumpet, playing in two. The trumpet was seen to be the “highbrow” instrument used in orchestras, and the cornet was deemed “lowbrow” and said it was easy to play. With the cornet came the brass band, and thanks to the mass production of instruments, brass bands started to spread all throughout Europe.
Since its discovery back in A.D. 850 it has been one of the greatest and most influential inventions ever developed. They first used it for starting fires and fireworks, but then soon realized that it could be made into a weapon. The first
The drums were typically used to lead troops into battle. The drum corps became
“I see how great is your virtue, how admirable your vast achievements”, (Ellis, 2010, p. 92). The Ancient Chinese developed multiple inventions that have heavily influenced the modern world today. Some of those inventions include paper, gunpowder, and silk. The use of paper and gunpowder are more widely popular in the modern society today, while silk is not as widely used, but is still an important invention that has still heavily influenced our modern day society. Paper is probably one of the most used inventions that was created by the Ancient Chinese.

How would you like if your society invented something that changed your life? The Mesopotamians were the first society to use wheels. Their wheels were not the wheels that we see nowadays, they were made of wood. The wheel was very helpful because it could be used in a variety of products. The desire for trade and transportation, led to the invention of the wheel around 3000 BCE, affecting the Mesopotamians, Hyksos (Egyptians), and Romans and greatly impacting their economies, transportation and entertainment.
