[KS] drumming in traditional Korean music

[Hilary V. Finchum-Sung]

Dear Hae-Sung:

I'm assuming you're looking for sources in English.  Keith Howard has written quite a bit on folk drumming. Nathan Hesselink's  _P'ungmul_ is a great resource on p'ungmulnori.  Both Howard and Hesselink include information on training, patterns, and aesthetics in their work.

For information on p'ansori, kagok, sijo accompaniment, many of the sources in English (Music of Korea or any similar introductory compilation) include information on drum accompaniment.

Korean sources, such as traditional music theory books, would be a good place to look initially.  To look more closely at the aesthetics of drum accompaniment, a search for Korean sources focusing on well-known accompanists might help.

I'm not aware of sources that detail the training of drummers for court genres like sijo or for p'ansori accompaniment.  Perhaps someone else on the list might know.


Best,
Hilary Finchum-Sung

Dear List,
?
I'm wondering whether there are any studies on drumming (of any sorts of drum-like instruments like janggo, buk, etc.) in traditional Korean music (again, of any sorts, although something on pansori or sijo reciting would be more helpful!).?In particular, I'm trying to find out how the drummers are trained and what the principles of placing strong/weak drum beats in music are....

All the best,
Hae-Sung
