Dear Christopher PB> Petite tournerie = ?
CB> I have never heard this expression, and I can't find it in my Petit Robert or any of my music books. Could it mean a flam, ruff, drag, or 5-stroke roll? Or does it refer to the "Hawaii Five-O" which is a single stroke roll around the drum kit, high to low? Can you describe it? It may be one of those things that doesn't have a real translation. PB> I have never heard this expression in french too! But I'm not a drummer. I think that "tournerie" (that is not a correct word in french) mean that you must "faire tourner en boucle", playing a lot of time a measure or a pattern until you obtain a regular tempo. Perhaps there is a musical expression used by drummer teachers in english? Thanks another time for your aid.

Right >Exercices = Exercises? Right >Etude = Study? If you are talking about a musical piece written to practice a particular technical or musical difficulty, then the usual English word is "etude", without the accent on the first e, though we pronounce it anyway. Sometimes one sees "study" as well, but not often. If the context is non-musical, as in a research paper, then "study" is correct. >Doigté = Fingering? Right. Though in reference to a drummer with two sticks, it is called "sticking", indicated L and R. You won't find this meaning in a dictionary, most likely. >Coordination = ? Coordination, same word. >Petite tournerie = ? I have never heard this expression, and I can't find it in my Petit Robert or any of my music books. Could it mean a flam, ruff, drag, or 5-stroke roll?
