Mobile Application for Learning to Play Drums
Novotný, Jan ; Zemčík, Pavel (referee) ; Beran, Vítězslav (advisor)
This bachelor thesis aims to design and create a mobile application for teaching percussion playing and rhythmic reading training. The application contains several lessons with exercises that are displayed in the form of music notation. It is made possible to play and practice individual exercises accompanied by a metronome. Furthermore, it offers an analysis of the play on the instrument and provides feedback on the quality of playing. The application is developed on the Xamarin platform for use on Android and iOS operating systems. The result of this work is an application that will serve drummers to practice and provide an evaluation of the accuracy of the played exercise and thus will help to improve their playing skills.

Analysis of upper limbs muscles involvement during playing the drums
Štumpfová, Lenka ; Nováková, Tereza (advisor) ; Véle, František (referee)
Title: Analysis of upper limbs muscles involvement during playing the drums. Objectives: The aim of this thesis is to compile information about playing the drums and summerize the most frequent musculosceletal disorders of upper extremities of these musicians. The main aim is analyzing and comparing the involvement of muscles or muscles groups of the right upper limb while drumming. Methods: The theoretical part follows up the given issue as a research and theoretical overview of the current findings based on czech and foreign literature. The practical part is dedicated to evaluation of surface electromyography and 3D kinematics analyses of movements while drumming under specified conditions of one single proband. Results: Results of measurement demonstrate that m. biceps brachii is the most active muscle during playing on hi-hat, snare drum and floor tom with forte dynamics and m. extenzor carpi uln. is is the most muscle active during play with piano dynamics. Wrist flexors were the least active during all measurements. M. extenzor carpi rad. was measured too and its activity was on second place. A close relation between changes of muscles activity and changes of angles of the elbow and wrist have not been established in this study. This research was implemented only with one proband so the...

Fading - reverbation - muting of Percussion
Doležal, Radek ; MIKOLÁŠEK, Daniel (advisor) ; URBAN, Ondřej (referee)
One of the specific attributes of percussion instruments is their fading. Because of that, we have to mute them and work with their sound. There are lot ́s of kinds of drums. That ́s why there are also many muting techniques. If you want to interpret a song properly, you have to know how to mute with the right technique. Getting in touch with this issue can help us in certain point to affect lasting of reverbation and we can learn how to work with the instrument in different acoustical situationts. The choice of instruments I made is given by their different characteristic from the view of the discussed issue. In the same time I ́m writting about instrument ́s that I use in my musical profession. A little more attention I put to timpani. I ́m writing about their historical evolution in connection with the changing of their fading and muting.

European specifics of the art of percussion instruments: Basics of natural playing
Zhdanovich, Anton ; MIKOLÁŠEK, Daniel (advisor) ; Holub, Petr (referee)
This work is a summary of the information and knowledge about the basics that make up the present tradition of playing percussion instruments in Europe (predominantly Western). Its main purpose is to support the development of percussion instruments in Czech Republic, especially in schools, where the playing level is in the development stage and needs to be supported from other sources. During my Master's study at HAMU (2014-2017), I took part in many of international events in this field, which were focused on the development of young musicians of my generation on musical, technical, mental and aesthetic side. The obtained information by feedbacks and comments from leading teachers and performers in the field is the absolute basis for this work. Awareness of the principles and basics that will be written here requires a presence of certain musical and life experiences, so this work is intended for the age category from the students of secondary vocational schools and above.

The development of interpretational demands on Czech composers works for percussion instruments from the 1960s to the present
Veselý, Šimon ; MIKOLÁŠEK, Daniel (advisor) ; BARTOŇ, Hanuš (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the growing tendency of composers of Czech artificial music from the 1960s to the present to discover new technical possibilities of percussion instruments and then apply them to the musical process.

The work contains several theoretical and interpretative analyzes, namely the analysis of works by Miloslav Kabeláč, Marek Kopelent and Daniel Chudovský. The aim of the work is to point out the increasing demands for interpretation of contemporary music for percussion instruments, but also the resonant plurality and openness of various composing personalities of the selected time period.
