Texts
The following texts are required for drumset/percussion lessons and form the
foundation for building your personal library on percussion pedagogy and technique.
As it may take you a while to acquire all of these texts either through time or funds, I
have included the call numbers of those books found within the School of Music
library, noted as SOM library. PLEASE be sensitive to others and share or return
these items on time. Almost everyone will be at various levels of ability on
drumset/percussion so not all of these texts may apply to everyone. If you have any
questions about the following list please ask.
There are hundreds of drumset books out there which all have something to offer—
these few are intended as a launching point for a particular reason: style, reading or
technique. We will be looking at much more according to each individual’s
performance level.

Implements/Other Important Items/Personal Equipment
As with textbooks, CD’s and equipment, sticks and mallets can really add up! You
should try and slowly build your collection of sticks and mallets according to when
you might need them. If you run into a musical situation that calls for an implement
you don’t own—try and buy it! This is also good for small percussion accessories. If
you have any questions about any other implements, please ask.
Implements
(Items in parenthesis are suggestions only—try them out to see if you like them)
1 pair of lightweight drumset sticks (Innovative Percussion-Ed Soph Maple)
1 pair of medium to heavyweight drumset sticks (Zildjian-Vinnie Colaiuta)
1 pair of general snare drum sticks (Vic Firth General SD-1)
1 pair of brushes (Regal Tip, 551 XL)
1 pair of multi-rods (Pro-Mark, Hot Rods)
1 set of (4) vibe mallets- medium- hard (Innovative Percussion RS-301)
1 set of (4) vibe mallets-soft (Innovative Percussion RS-201)
1 set of soft timpani mallets or mallet suitable for rolling on cymbals
Other Important Items
Practice Pad (HQ Percussion "Real Feel")
Metronome (Roland DB-88 "Dr. Beat")
Conga Wrench
Drum Key!
Hand lotion with Lanolin for conga playing (unscented-try Eucerin hand lotion)
2 Black Hand Towels (for placing sticks on music stands, etc)
Personal Equipment
You should have your own drumset cymbals. If you want to bring your bass drum and
hi-hat pedals that is fine but you will need a place to store them. Everyone should
consider purchasing a cowbell and synthetic woodblock as well as a shaker. The
following are some suggested instruments:
Latin Percussion, Jam Block-Large
Latin Percussion, Mambo Cowbell
Rhythm Tech Studio Shaker or Live Shaker
Rhythm Tech DSM2 Universal Mount
Pearl Adjustable Mount (PPS37) This is super strong for cowbells, etc.
Practice Rooms/Keys/Golden Rules For Living
The following is a listing of practice rooms you may use. Since these rooms are also
for combo’s it is important that you leave the contents intact so that the next drumset
performer or combo does not have to search for equipment. There are also two
drumsets found in the jazz cabinet in the rehearsal hall (and a drumset in the Cady
Room of Stearns). When you move a drumset, make sure you take extreme care in
loading everything onto a cart, use padding and collapse all of the stands. There is a
Professor Michael Gould-Studio Handbook
Page 4
checkout drumset stored in the practice room. In order to check this drumset out—you
must contact Professor Gould first and then the rest of the studio. If it is not already in
use, you must provide safe transportation—make sure it leaves the building in cases.
You may not check this out for more than one day without contacting Professor Gould.
Please report all equipment problems to Professor Gould.
Practice Rooms for EVERYONE
• Keep all of these practice rooms locked at all times—even if you are
leaving for a short period of time!
• If someone is using a practice room you do not recognize, ask them who
they are and report this immediately to one of the Jazz faculty as well as
the info office. (This excludes audition days!).
• DO NOT lend your key to anyone for any reason-ever! These facilities are
for jazz majors only.
• Do not leave your trash, sticks, mallets or music in any of the practice
rooms. Please take all of your stuff with you when you leave—even if
you are coming back later that day. No food or drink—ever (unless you
have water in a plastic container with lid). Please return all of the
instruments you use back to their original storage place or where you
found them. You can get a locker to store your gear from the person at the
info office at the beginning of the year. I will be working on getting
bigger lockers.
Practice Rooms and Professor Gould’s Office:
1016-Gould’s office. 2 drumsets, marimba, vibes and an array of percussion.
1136- drumset practice room
1138- storage room
1133- combo room (corner) drumset and vibraphone
1135- drumset practice room
1142- drumset practice room

Golden Rules for Living (As found in many percussion studio’s across the country!)
If you open it, close it.
If you turn it on, turn it off.
If you unlock it, lock it up.
If you break it, admit it.
If you can’t fix it, call in someone who can.
If you borrow it, return it.
If you value it, take care of it.
If you make a mess, clean it up.
If you move it, put it back.
If it belongs to someone else, get permission to use it.
If you don’t know how to operate it, leave it alone.
If it’s none of your business, don’t ask questions.

PERCUSSIVE ARTS SOCIETY
The Percussive Arts Society is an international organization that focuses on the study
and advancement of the art of percussion. There is one chapter from each state and
one chapter from each foreign country. In November of each year, the Percussive Arts
Society International Convention is held which features concerts, clinics and many
booths from the percussion industry. The convention is a lot of fun to attend, highly
educational and recommended for anyone planning on a career in percussion. Once a
year, the Michigan chapter of P.A.S. holds a Day of Percussion. The events change
from year to year, as does the location. The society’s magazine, Percussive Notes can
be found in the SOM library. You can find the most current subscription information
at www.pas.org. There are special rates for students and everyone should become a
member if you are not so already.
"It's important that all percussionists and drummers, no matter what style of music,
support each other. Organizations like PAS play a very important role in continually
educating and supporting percussionists and drummers all over the world." - Kenny
Aronoff
Modern Drummer
It is good to keep up on current drummers in Pop, Latin and Jazz as well as new
equipment, etc. When you need a break, it is in the library along with all of the other
periodicals.
Listening/Videos
Each student should be actively listening to as much music as possible from a diverse
pool of styles and performers. I have tried to include a variety of resources in this
handbook to help get you started discovering what the School of Music Library has to
offer. It is important that you find the time to listen to music, play-a-long with tunes
and listen to music that has been assigned to you during your individual lesson times.
Coursetools
I will be working with the jazz faculty to create a listening list located in coursetools
via iTunes U. This will include the tunes listed for freshman and sophomore juries as
well as other tunes. I will also be asking you for help in compiling a comprehensive
list of recordings. This may include you doing some research in the library or using
recordings you already have—stayed tuned.
Double Time Top 100 Historically Significant Recordings
I have also included a listing of the Double Time Top 100 Historically Significant
Recordings compiled by Jamey Aebersold. It is his company’s opinion of what they
think are the top 100 recordings—it is just an opinion but a great place to start listening.
I have searched the SOM library to see what we own and have included the call numbers.
(See Appendix A)
Professor Michael Gould-Studio Handbook
Page 6
Latin Recordings
Included in this handbook are a listing of ten collections of Latin CD’s recently
purchased by the SOM library. These will be quite useful for those of you who are
studying these styles with me on drumset, congas, etc.
(See Appendix B)
Videos
The School of Music also has an extensive drum video library. We have been slowly
building these up over the years for you to view, study and in some cases have the
pleasure to play-a-long with the artist. Percussion majors have a mobile video playback
cart in the practice rooms that they may use to watch the videos while playing along with
them. I will be working on something like this for the Jazz Majors as well. Please look
through this list and start watching!
(See Appendix C)
Juries
Juries are mandatory for freshman and sophomores. They occur each year at the end of
the Winter Term (the exact date will be announced by the Dept. with plenty of advance
notice). You can find a list of the required tunes in the Jazz Department Handbook.
Professor Gould will guide you during lessons to help prepare for the jury and what you
may expect.
SOM Student Handbook/ Lesson Expectations/Grading Policy
SOM Student Handbook
All students should familiarize him or herself with the School of Music Student
Handbook. The handbook you receive your first semester in school is the curriculum
and guidelines you will follow throughout your program at the University. Graduate
students should also look at the Handbook for Rackham Students in Music, Dance, or
Theater. These books detail all of the curricula and policies set forth by the School of
Music. Make sure you understand these extremely well—if you have any questions at
all regarding any of the contents of either handbook, I am always available for
advising as are people in the admissions office.
Lesson Expectations
Here are some general guidelines for everyone taking lessons with Professor Gould in
regards to organization, weekly expectations and grading structure:
• Lessons will be set-up within the first week of class. It is YOUR responsibility to
make an appointment with Professor Gould to set-up a lesson time (contact him in
person (office 1016), e-mail (gould@umich.edu) or phone (615-0215). Please make
sure that the lesson time you arrange does not conflict with any of your other
commitments, as changes in the schedule after the first week can be very difficult to
rearrange. You must also have 4:30-5:30 available every Tuesday for studio class.
These are mandatory to attend unless you contact Professor Gould well in advance of
meeting. It is also your responsibility to sign-up for the correct course and section
Professor Michael Gould-Studio Handbook
Page 7
number for lessons. Failure to do so will result in a whole plethora of problems for
you—you must double-check this before the add/drop date. If you have a question
whether or not you are enrolled ask me during your lesson time.
• Each lesson will be recorded on a “lesson sheet” (see Appendix D). The lesson
sheet is written documentation of what was reviewed during each lesson and identifies
the new material that should be worked on for the following week. You are expected
to complete all of the materials assigned to you for the following week. All of the
lesson sheets and supplemental materials given to you during lessons should be kept in
a folder or binder. I will also have a duplicate copy in my file to review before each
lesson, keep track of your grades and track your progress throughout the semester.
• During the first lesson, Dr. Gould will discuss with you a semester plan for covering
repertoire, techniques, reading, styles and any goals one might desire to accomplish
during the semester. There will also be a review of what was accomplished prior to
lessons (if you studied with Dr. Gould prior to the current semester) as well as longterm goals. All of these will be written on the Lesson Sheet and factored into the final
grade for the semester. Obviously, there are circumstances where one might not be
able to achieve everything on the goals sheet—perhaps because of getting stuck on
something highly technical or something highly personal—as long as one is working
hard, it is a very fair system.
• Each student should be sufficiently warmed up before each lesson. Try to organize
your schedule so that you are not running from another class or worse--from across
campus.
• If you are playing something that requires a special set-up (other than drumset or
hand drums), this should be done before the lesson begins so that little time is wasted
during the lesson. I am always willing to come to you—setting up something in a
practice room is perfectly fine.
• Please bring all of your implements to your lesson regardless of what is being
worked on. We might need a different implement given a new musical situation,
technique, etc.,so bring your stick bag.
• All students are required to purchase method books, music or other materials being
worked on for lessons or recitals. Please refer to the list of books supplied in this
handbook or your lesson sheet for items you may need to acquire. Please ask if you are
having trouble finding a certain item. Everything listed in this handbook can be ordered
from Steve Weiss Music or Columbus Pro Percussion:

Page 8
• Regular lesson attendance is required. Unexcused absences are not allowed. Each
unexcused absence will result in one lowered final letter grade. In the case that you may
need to miss a lesson, please let Dr. Gould know ahead of your scheduled lesson time.
For excused absences, lessons will be made up with Dr. Gould at a mutually agreed upon
time. In the case that Dr. Gould should be away for performances, clinics, conventions,
etc., a make-up lesson sign-up sheet will be placed on the door to his office (or you will
be contacted via e-mail). If you cannot find a suitable time, please contact Dr. Gould.
Lessons start promptly at 40 minutes past the hour—if you are late…you will not
have a lesson unless you have a very good excuse. This will also result in a lower grade
at the end of the semester—no exceptions. If you are late—you will NOT receive an “A”
for the semester’s grade. Each time you are late will result in a ½ letter grade lower for
your final grade. You need to plan to be in the building, warmed-up and ready to go at
your lesson time.
Grading Policy
In an effort to try and take some of the subjective nature of lessons out of the equation
and come up with a more objective grade, I will take into account the average grade from
each week’s lesson sheet for the semester. Regardless of degree program, each student
should carefully prepare all of the materials assigned for each lesson. There should be
progressive improvement throughout the semester in both technical and musical abilities.
The grade will also account for how much of the semester goals were accomplished as
discussed above in lesson expectations. You must also bring “something to the table”.
This means have some questions ready on the material you have worked on for the past
week (or weeks) bring in recordings you have listened to and may have questions about,
big band or combo music, etc.—my hope is that this level of inquiry will spur more ideas,
practice material or new pathways of study. If you are expected to perform a jury at the
end of a semester, this will account for part of your final grade (you must pass the jury in
order to move on to the next lesson number. Professor Gould also expects all of his
students to attend all big band concerts and combo concerts, percussion related
recitals, masterclasses, clinics and other percussion events held throughout the
semester. Failure to do so without an authorized excuse will result in a 1/2 lower
grade (A to an A-). YOU MUST SUPPORT YOUR PEERS.
Grade Breakdown:
A = Excellent. The student shows exceptional and solid preparation, practiced with extreme consistency
between lessons, was professional in manner, and made superior progress in technique and musical
understanding of all assigned material.
B = Average. Preparation shows some inconsistency in practicing, mild improvement in technical goals,
and adequate enough progress that new materials may be assigned. However, given reasonable
expectations, the student is clearly not working to his/her highest potential.
C = Fair. This grade represents poor preparation, lack of consistent practice between lessons and little
improvement technically or musically. No new material will be assigned.
D = Poor. This grade is given for a lesson that is clearly not prepared and shows little or no consistent
practice. No new material will be assigned.
Professor Michael Gould-Studio Handbook

E = Given only in the rarest of circumstances. Such a grade indicates that the student has made no effort
whatsoever.
(These grade descriptions I thought were very good and were taken from Clemson University Percussion Policies—Dr.
Paul Beyer)
Tips for Being a Responsible Percussionist (From Furman University and found
throughout the percussion world)
• Assist your colleagues in striking the stage following a percussion recital -- even it you didn’t play. This
is common courtesy and will be greatly appreciated when you are the performer.
• Arrive far enough in advance of a rehearsal to guarantee that all equipment is set up and you are properly
warmed up before the rehearsal begins. This may mean from ten minutes to an hour before a rehearsal
depending on the complexity of the set-up.
• Following a rehearsal, remain long enough to return all equipment to its proper location. Leaving before
this task is complete is selfish and inconsiderate to those who remain. Even if you did not play an
instrument, help everyone until the task is complete.
• Never challenge a conductor’s musical decisions during rehearsal. "The conductor is always right, even
when he/she is wrong." Use your section leader or principal to communicate alternative opinions.
• Do not rely on other’s to bring music, mallets, or equipment you are required to provide. Avoid the
reputation of being the "mallet moocher" or worse, the "percussion parasite."
• Come to rehearsals with your music learned. Rehearsals are for rehearsing, not for practicing.
• Your ears are extremely important to any musician. Wear ear protection when necessary.
• Keep a calendar so that you do not "double book," forget engagements, or simply fail to have your time
organized.
• Attend as many percussion related performances as possible, especially those by professionals in the field.
One can learn an incredible amount by witnessing your colleagues or the professional percussionist who
makes a living at this craft.
• Read as much as possible regarding percussion. The SOM Library has an excellent collection of books,
videos, and music about percussion. Percussive Notes and Modern Drummer are found on the periodical
shelves. Check out the websites on the Internet, too.
• Share information with your colleagues by using the “Cage” bulletin board or via e-mail. Whether it be
jobs, an interesting article, a new technique, a great concert next week, etc. share your ideas and
information with your colleagues. Don’t be selfish with your knowledge.
• Percussionists have a reputation for being cordial, positive, and good humored. Honor that reputation and
continue to build a positive image wherever you take your musical activities.

APPENDIX A
Double Time Top 100 Historically Significant Recordings
Most of the recordings listed are from the 40's 50's & 60's Bebop era. This is due to the strong influence
this particular period of music has had on our current "Modern Jazz" scene today. We have purposely left
off early records due either to the tremendous amount of material recorded by the artist or the poor
recording quality.
