SUMMARY

Role

Drummer

Intention (SMART Goal)

By November 18th, as part of School of Rock, I will learn and have evidence for learning the drum set part to Nothing Else Matters by Metalica, Using this drum notation video by Jack Young.

PRE-PRODUCTION – INQUIRY

Leader(s) in the Field / Exemplary Work(s)

I chose this interview because Lars Ulrich is the drummer for Metalica, which is who wrote the song and it gives me a good perspective of the drummer which I think is important because he is the one who originally performed and worked on this song.

Training Source(s)

-bring out the first and 3rd notes in measure 4 (1:06)
-work measure 13 slowly (0:28)
-most of the song is repetitive and uses the same rhythm
-Time signature change to 3/4 at measure 36 (1:26)
-Time signature change to 6/8 at measure 37 (1:28)
-End at measurer 47 (1:56)

PRODUCTION

SMART Goal Starting Point Evidence

welp, the audio file didn’t really work and I decided not to do this song. Read below for the full story,

SMART Goal Ending Point Evidence

Instead of a recording of the final version of this song I’m going to write about why I didn’t really like this song. First off I haven’t really listened to this song before because I don’t really listen to Metallica. It doesn’t fit with my music taste. Overall I didn’t enjoy playing this song on the drums. It felt repetitive and boring but that also might just be what the drum set is like for a lot of rock and metal songs so maybe the drumset isn’t my instrument or maybe I should try to explore more general like jazz because I already have preexisting living for jazz music and it seems like it would be fun on the drums. overall I just don’t like the actual song in general but I’m glad I tried it because now I have a better understanding of my preferences for the drums.

POST-PRODUCTION – REFLECTION

21st Century Skills

Ways of Thinking (Creativity, Innovation, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving)

For this project, I used different ways of thinking to find ways o play the rhythms and to find the best ways to learn the music.

Ways of Working (Communication & Collaboration)

I didn’t really collaborate with anyone on this project but there is an underlining collaboration in everything.

Tools for Working (Info & Media Literacy)

I used resources around me to learn the music and complete the project in the most efficient way that I could.

Ways of Living in the World (Life & Career)

This project helped me develop life and career skills because it helped me be able to do things quickly when I needed to and communicate with others.
