Bob Stoloff - Scat! Vocal Improvisation Technoloques
Contemporaiy scat singers frequently use percussive scat syllables to simulate drum beats, particularly in a cappella groups where there is no rhythm section to establish a groove. Stylistic drum grooves can easily be interpreted with a minimal vocabulaiy of syllables starting with the nucleus of the traditional trap set: bass drum, snare and hi hat. While bass and snare syllables are more consistent, a variety of articulations and timbres may be applied to cymbals, in particular, the hi hat. When pressed tightly together and played with a stick, the two hi-hat cymbals will make a staccato sound that can be vocalized with the single-letter syllable t (pronounced Uh). Looser hi-hat cymbals can sound more like tss or tsh (pronounced tiss and tish). Other hi-hat sounds include chik, tsik, tch, tsht and so on. Additionally, there are numerous ride and crash cymbal syllables such as ting, tang, psh and wsh. Toms also may be articulated with the syllable doon with longer .duration and more variety of pitches from high to low. However for the purpose of establishing a groove, bass, snare and hi hat are sufficient.
