Drum kit

A drum kit (primarily American), drum set (primarily British/Australian),trap set, or just drums is a collection of drums and other percussion instruments, typically cymbals, which are set up on stands to be played by a single player with drumsticks held in both hands and the feet operating pedals that control the hi-hat cymbal and the beater for the bass drum. A drum kit consists of a mix of drums (categorized classically as membranophones, Hornbostel-Sachs high-level classification 2) and idiophones most significantly cymbals but also including the woodblock and cowbell (classified as Hornbostel-Sachs high-level classification 1). In the 2000s, some kits also include electronic instruments (Hornbostel-Sachs classification 53) and both hybrid and entirely electronic kits are used.

A standard modern kit (for a right-handed player), as used in popular music and taught in music schools, contains:

  • A snare drum, mounted on a stand, placed between the player's knees and played with drum sticks (which may include rutes or brushes)
  • Drum (2004 film)

    Drum is a 2004 film based on the life of South African investigative journalist Henry Nxumalo, who worked for the popular Drum magazine, called "the first black lifestyle magazine in Africa." It was director Zola Maseko's first film and deals with the issues of apartheid and the forced removal of residents from Sophiatown. The film was originally to be a six-part television series called Sophiatown Short Stories, though Maseko could not get the funding. The lead roles of Henry Nxumalo and Drum main photographer Jürgen Schadeberg were played by American actors Taye Diggs and Gabriel Mann, while most of the rest of the cast were South African actors.

    The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2004, and proceeded to do the rounds of international film festivals before going on general release in South Africa in July 2006. It was released in Europe, but failed to get a distributor for the USA where it went straight to DVD.

    The film was generally well received critically. Most of the negative reviews were based on the quality of Maseko's directing and Jason Filardi's screenwriting. It was awarded Best South African Film at the Durban International Film Festival, and director Maseko gained the top prize at the Panafrican Film and Television Festival of Ouagadougou (FESPACO).

    Pál Kitaibel (3 February 1757– 13 December 1817) was a Hungarian botanist and chemist.

    He was born at Mattersburg and studied botany and chemistry at the University of Buda. In 1794 he became Professor and taught these subjects at Pest. As well as studying the flora and hydrography of Hungary, in 1789 he discovered the element tellurium, but later gave the credit to Franz-Joseph Müller von Reichenstein (1740–1825) who had actually discovered it in 1782.

    Together with Franz de Paula Adam von Waldstein (1759–1823), he wrote Descriptiones et icones plantarum rariorum Hungariae ("Descriptions and pictures of the rare plants of Hungary"; M. A. Schmidt, Vienna, three volumes, 1802–1812). In this work he made the first description of Nymphaea lotus f. thermalis.

    He died in 1817 at Pest.

    The genus Kitaibelia of mallows was named after him by Carl Ludwig von Willdenow.

    Species named after him:

  • Ablepharus kitaibelii
  • Cardamine kitaibelii
  • Kitaibela vitifolia
  • Knautia kitaibelii
  • Aquilegia kitaibelii
  • KITT

    KITT is the short name of two fictional characters from the adventure TV series Knight Rider. While having the same acronym, the KITTs are two different entities: one known as the Knight Industries Two Thousand, which appeared in the original TV series Knight Rider, and the other as the Knight Industries Three Thousand, which appeared first in the two-hour 2008 pilot film for a new Knight Rider TV series and then the new series itself. In both instances, KITT is an artificially intelligent electronic computer module in the body of a highly advanced, very mobile, robotic automobile: the original KITT as a 1982 Pontiac Trans Am, and the second KITT as a 2008/2009 Ford Shelby GT500KR. KITT was voiced by William Daniels in the original series, and by Val Kilmer in the 2008 series.

    History

    In the television show's history, the first KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand) was designed by the late Wilton Knight, a brilliant but eccentric billionaire and founder of the Foundation for Law And Government (FLAG) and its parent Knight Industries. The 2008 pilot movie later implied that Charles Graiman, creator of the Knight Industries Three Thousand, also had a hand in designing the first KITT.

    Dream God

    by: Aurora Borealis

    Let me take you on a journey, Let me take you out to find
    Let me take you to no boundaries through the deepest parts of minds
    Close your eyes, this is the entrance Close your eyes, and cross the path
    Close your eyes, drift out slowly and let me work my craft
    I mimic the delusion when I drowned your fears
    I create the trepidation that can leave you in tears
    I weave the web that you could never fathom
    Enchanting, bewitching, enthralling is what I am
    I manipulate the thoughts that are flowing through your head
    I twist and I turn them a dream god is what I am
    A dream god is what I am
    A new day is dawning your eyes open wide
    feeling relief all their is, is a sigh
    The nightmare is over at least for now
    I make the dreams, Only I know how
    The sky now darkens, the clouds roll in
    the same feeling suddenly begins
    with that same sigh your eyes reopen wide
    for I was only playing tricks with your mind
    Grasp my hand and let me full fill your fantasies
    In my world I control the line between
    dreams and reality I make the rules that
    control whether or not you will open you eyes again
    Let me take you on a journey, Let me take you out to find
    Let me take you to no boundaries through the deepest parts of minds
    Close your eyes, this is the entrance Close your eyes, and cross the path
    Close your eyes, drift out slowly and let me work my craft
    A dream god is what I am
