WHAT NOTES ARE WHAT FOR DRUMS

I was wondering if someone could e-mail me what percussion instrument each not on the staff is. I'm really interested in the main ones like open and closed hi-hat, ride cymbol, splash and crash cymbols, all the Toms, the base, and the snare. I would really appreciate it and if you could e-mail it to mbryant@ismi.net that would be even better. Thanks, Tim

1. Load in NWC help files. 2. Go to "Answers to Common Questions" 3. Go to Question #6. 4. Print out Topic.

The printout should show a listing of Key #'s associated with a percussion sound.

I use a Casio CTK-530 Midi Keyboard. The number 60 corresponds with my MIDDLE C. Numbers go up or down in half steps on the keyboard depending upon the number direction. I.E. 48 = C octave below middle C. 36 = C two octaves below middle C.

Fill in the key number line with the correct note by half steps and you should have all the info you need. See NOTE: under General MIDI Drum List heading regarding your equipment

Hope this helps.

Open the drumref.nwc file in your "Samples" folder. All will be revealed.

Be sure that you have your drum stave(s) set to channel 10.

Dear MrBanjo...

Hmmmmmmm... Question #6 in the FAQ has to do with changing notes to a new clef, what does this have to do with percussion?

Your responding to a post that took place over 5 years ago. The FAQ section of the product has changed since then. The drum reference is now in the Samples folder, named drumref.nwc.
